We reviewed randomized phase II/III trials comparing first- or second-line endocrine therapy as monotherapy or in combination with targeted therapies for treatment of postmenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer. First-line was defined as treatment for endocrine therapy-naïve advanced breast cancer or advanced disease treated with endocrine therapy in the adjuvant/neoadjuvant setting. Second-line was defined as endocrine therapy for advanced breast cancer following disease progression on endocrine therapy for advanced disease. Publications reporting progression-free survival (PFS)/time to progression (TTP) or overall survival (OS) for FDA-approved agents anastrozole, exemestane, fulvestrant 250 mg, fulvestrant 500 mg, letrozole (0.5 and 2.5 mg), megestrol acetate, and tamoxifen as monotherapy, or in combination with everolimus, palbociclib or ribociclib, were assessed. First-line monotherapy with anastrozole, fulvestrant 500 mg or letrozole 2.5 mg significantly improved PFS/TTP versus comparator endocrine therapy; however, only fulvestrant 500 mg improved OS. For endocrine therapy in combination with targeted therapies, palbociclib plus letrozole 2.5 mg, and ribociclib plus letrozole 2.5 mg significantly improved PFS versus letrozole 2.5 mg alone first-line. For second-line monotherapies, exemestane, fulvestrant 500 mg and letrozole 2.5 mg significantly improved PFS/TTP versus comparator endocrine therapy; only fulvestrant 500 mg and letrozole 2.5 mg improved OS. For second-line combination therapies, everolimus plus exemestane, and palbociclib plus fulvestrant 500 mg, improved PFS versus endocrine therapy alone. In both first- and second-line settings, aromatase inhibitors demonstrated PFS benefits versus comparator endocrine therapy; however, fulvestrant 500 mg was the only endocrine therapy included in our review to show both PFS and OS advantages compared with other endocrine therapies. Targeted agents in combination with endocrine therapy have demonstrated PFS improvements both first- and second-line; OS data are awaited.
