The results of this real-world study suggest that treatment outcomes with CDK4/6 inhibitors may be worse in patients with gBRCAm mBC than in their counterparts with gBRCAwt and unknown gBRCA status, suggesting potential differences in tumor biology. This result highlights the unmet need in patients with gBRCAm requiring optimized treatment selection and sequencing. Future exploration in larger samples of patients who have had biomarker testing is warranted.
