Two years of adjuvant Palbociclib added to endocrine therapy does not improve outcomes in early breast cancer

 Results of a phase III trial, the Palbociclib CoLlaborative Adjuvant Study (PALLAS), presented at the 2021 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), December 7-10, 2021, "does not show significant improvements in survival endpoints for the addition of Palbociclib to adjuvant endocrine therapy over endocrine therapy alone in patients with early hormone receptor-positive, HER-2 negative breast cancer."  Further, the trial unveiled that nearly half (44.9%) of patients were not able to complete the full 2 years of Palbociclib treatment due to neutropenia.
