Background: Administration of bone targeted therapy such as zoledronic acid (ZA) or of denosumab (D) decrease the risk of skeletal related events (SRE) such as radiation to the bone, pathological bone fractures, and spinal cord compression in patients with a diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and bone metastasis. As these patients continue to live longer it is unknown what are the impacts from long-term administration of ZA or D among those who live longer than 2 years. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients with MBC and bone metastasis who lived for more than 2 years since diagnosis and received treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center for MBC in addition to ZA and/or D between 2015 and 2021. Patient demographics, date of diagnosis, tumor characteristics, bone targeted agent treatment plans and SRE were extracted from the institutional database and electronic health records. We defined 3 patterns of receipt of bone targeted therapy: Pattern A: ZA every 3-4 weeks; Pattern B: D every 4-6 weeks; Pattern C; D every 4-6 weeks for a period followed by every 3 months. The association between these patterns and SRE was assessed using Fisher’s exact test. Results: We included 178 patients: Pattern A with 49 patients, Pattern B with 85 patients, and Pattern C with 44 patients. The proportion of patients who suffered a SRE in Patterns A, B, and C were 22.4% (11/49), 20% (17/85), and 21.4% (10/44). There was no statistical difference in the proportion of SRE between these three groups (p = 0.92). Conclusions: We did not observe a difference in the rate of SRE between the three different patterns of bone targeted therapy administration in patients with MBC and bone metastasis. Other treatment patterns will be considered in future analysis.
