🤔Hmmm....much more rapid disease progression on the CDK4/6🚫+AI - does this portend for a worse prognosis in subsequent lines of therapy❓

Back to our case🔎

👩‍🦳 Patient received Capivasertib + Fulvestrant due to PIK3CA mutation.
👉 Not yet considered endocrine resistant so would not move onto capecitabine, sacituzumab
👉 Tumor is HER2 negative so no role for trastuzumab deruxtecan

👉 Everolimus + fulvestrant is not favored given the more targeted approach with Capivasterib for the PIK3CA mutation
✅ Tolerated therapy well with mild rash at start of treatment that resolved with antihistamines
