Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor-associated thromboembolism : a critical evaluation of the current evidence

Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK 4/6) inhibitors are an essential treatment modality for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. As the rates of breast cancer continue to rise globally and the indications for CDK 4/6 inhibitors now extend beyond metastatic disease, more patients than ever are receiving these agents. Thrombosis is an emerging clinical concern with this class of agents, particularly venous thromboembolism. Although venous thromboembolism initially emerged as an adverse effect of interest in early trials, more recent studies have demonstrated even higher incidences of thrombosis in real-world clinical practice. In this review, we summarize the evidence to date that has informed the thrombosis risk for these agents both in clinical trials and real-world studies. We review data describing the venous and arterial thromboembolic risks in clinical trials of CDK 4/6 inhibitors as well as the now rather extensive real-world evidence available, including a comparison of risk for each of the 3 agents approved for use in breast cancer: palcociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib. As the role of prophylactic anticoagulation continues to remain unknown in women receiving CDK 4/6 inhibitors, future efforts directed at carefully investigating the risks and benefits of thromboprophylaxis may lead to improved outcomes in these patients.
