Summary

This study looks at how well ribociclib, a targeted cancer drug, works when added to hormone therapy for people with HR+ HER2- stage II or III breast cancer. It will follow about 2,766 patients in Russia, comparing those who get ribociclib plus hormone therapy to those who got hormone therapy alone in the past. The goal is to see if the combination helps prevent the cancer from coming back.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Ribociclib (a targeted cancer drug) combined with hormone therapy (letrozole or anastrozole)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding ribociclib to standard hormone therapy helps prevent breast cancer from coming back in people with HR+ HER2- stage II or III cancer.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. It's also early in real-world use, and side effects like low blood cell counts or liver issues are possible with ribociclib.

ECOG performance status 0-1 Patients from the retrospective cohort of the study must meet all of the following criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years at the initiation of hormone therapy. 2. Histologically verified HR+ HER2-negative stage II-III breast cancer, for which radical treatment was carried out. 3. Initiation of adjuvant hormone monotherapy with aromatase inhibitors (±GnRH agonists) in the index period from July 1, 2019 to July 1, 2020. 4. Presence of the necessary information in the source documentation. Exclusion Criteria: Patients enrolled in the study in prospective cohort should not meet any of the following criteria. 1.
