Summary

This completed study looked at medical records of 1128 Australian patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer to see how doctors prescribe a class of medicines called CDK4/6 inhibitors, including palbociclib. Researchers examined patient characteristics, dosing patterns, and how long people stayed on treatment. No new treatments were given; instead, the study analyzed existing data to describe real-world use.
