Brief summary
Assess and characterize the real-world cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDKI) use in advanced/metastatic breast cancer (a/mBC), evaluate treatment persistence, and quantify CDKI dose adjustments in Portugal. This study used secondary data from the IQVIA database that collects data from hospital drug consumption. The study included 16 public hospitals across Portugal, for which data on consumption of drugs used in hormone receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR+/HER2-) a/mBC treatment was available. Patient selection was based on a set of criteria considering all patients with treatments in the a/mBC setting with use of at least one CDKI from November 2018 to May 2023.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Patients Treated With a CDKI Between November 2018 and May 2023 | Up to approximately 4 years and 6 months | — |
