What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether personalized coaching based on patient typology helps women with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer stick with their ribociclib treatment longer. About 548 participants will either receive standard education or tailored coaching using a validated tool. The goal is to see if coaching reduces early treatment discontinuation.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
typology-based coaching (behavioral intervention using the MOATT tool)
What this could lead to
If successful, this coaching approach could help more patients complete their ribociclib treatment, potentially improving outcomes for early breast cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so the impact may be modest. Coaching might not significantly change how long patients stay on therapy.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant provides written informed consent prior to the beginning of trial-specific procedures. * Patients must be aged ≥18 years on the day of signing informed consent. * Participant has histologically confirmed primary invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast. * Participant has a histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of ER-positive and/or progesterone receptor-positive breast cancer based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample tested by a local laboratory. * Participant has HER2neg breast cancer defined as a negative ISH test or an IHC status of 0, 1+, or 2+. If the IHC is 2+, a negative ISH (e.g., FISH, CISH, SISH, or DISH) test is required by local laboratory testing and based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample. * Indication for treatment with ribociclib in combination with an aromatase inhibitor for early breast cancer according to the valid SmPC. * Participant has adequate organ function amenable for treatment with ribociclib as assessed by a local laboratory. * Female participants of childbearing potential must have had a hysterectomy or be willing to use highly effective methods of contraception and have a confirmed negative pregnancy test as assessed by local in-house standard. * Participant is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, and other trial procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with distant metastases of breast cancer beyond regional lymph nodes (stage IV according to AJCC 8th edition) and/or evidence of recurrence after curative surgery. * Patients with serious preexisting medical condition(s) that would preclude participation in this study. * Women who are pregnant or lactating. * Patients with active bacterial infections (requiring IV antibiotics at time of initiating study treatment), fungal infections, or detectable viral infections (e.g., known human immunodeficiency virus positivity or known active hepatitis B or C, such as hepatitis B surface antigen-positive\]). * Patients with a personal history in the past 5 years of any of the following conditions: syncope of cardiovascular etiology, ventricular arrhythmia of pathological origin (including, but not limited to, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation), or sudden cardiac arrest. * Patients with contraindications against ribociclib according to the current SmPC. * Patients with hypersensitivity to active substance of ribociclib, peanuts, soya or one of the other ingredients * Patients who are not eligible for the trial due to severe comorbidities other than those mentioned above or unavailability according to the treating physician.
