Do breast cancer patients stick to their meds? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT06650423
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 319 women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive, HER2-negative breast cancer to see how well they take their prescribed aromatase inhibitors, with or without the added drug abemaciclib. Researchers will measure adherence using pill counts and questionnaires at 3 and 6 months. They also want to understand how quality of life, thinking skills, and attitudes toward medication affect adherence.
