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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ€” not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
aromatase inhibitors (letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane) with or without abemaciclib
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could reveal why some patients stop taking their breast cancer pills and help doctors improve long-term treatment adherence.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test whether the drugs work better or worse, only how consistently patients take them.
