Efficacy of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors with concurrent proton pump inhibitors in patients with breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND

The impact of concurrent proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) use on the prognosis of patients with breast cancer undergoing cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs) treatment is currently uncertain. Considerable divergence exists regarding the clinical studies. In this study, we aim to perform a comprehensive analysis to evaluate the influence of concomitant PPI use on the effectiveness and adverse effects of CDKIs in patients with breast cancer.

METHODS

This study encompassed all pertinent clinical studies published up to the present, following the PRISMA guidelines. The study used hazard ratio (HR) or odds ratio (OR) as a summary statistic and used fixed or random effects models for pooled estimation.

RESULTS

This study incorporated 10 research articles involving 2993 participants. Among patients with breast cancer undergoing treatment with CDKIs, the simultaneous administration of PPIs was associated with a notable reduction in overall survival (HR = 2.00; 95% CI, 1.35-2.96). Nevertheless, no substantial correlation was observed between the simultaneous utilization of PPIs and the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients (HR = 1.30; 95% CI, 0.98-1.74). PFS did not change significantly when considering different drugs, treatment lines, or regions alone. Furthermore, the simultaneous administration of PPIs was found to result in a notable decrease in the incidence of grades 3/4 risk factors (OR = 0.63, 95% CI, 0.46-0.85).

CONCLUSION

The concurrent administration of PPIs did not result in significant alterations in the risk of disease advancement among patients with breast cancer undergoing CDKIs treatment. The utilization of PPIs led to a decrease in the adverse effects linked to the administration of CDKIs.
