Real-World data sheds light on ribociclib use in early breast cancer
NCT ID NCT07710716
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the drug ribociclib is actually used in everyday medical practice for people with a common type of early breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). Researchers will analyze medical records from thousands of patients to see who gets the drug, how long they take it, and what side effects occur. The goal is to understand real-world treatment patterns and safety, not to test if the drug works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ribociclib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into how ribociclib is used in everyday clinical practice, helping doctors optimize treatment for early breast cancer patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by differences in patient care across countries.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: 1. Evidence of diagnosis of eBC during the identification period. 2. Aged ≥18 years at index diagnosis date. The index diagnosis date is the date of first diagnosis of eBC. 3. Anatomic stage I-III breast cancer (BC) per American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), 8th Edition at index diagnosis date. 4. Evidence of HR+ during the study period: 1. have tested positive for estrogen receptor (ER+), or 2. have tested positive for progesterone receptor (PR+), or 3. have tested positive for both. 5. Tested negative for HER2 (HER2-) during the study period. 6. Evidence of surgical resection of the primary breast tumor at any time. 7. Received endocrine therapy (ET) in the adjuvant setting after index diagnosis date. Exclusion criteria: 1. Evidence of another secondary malignancy at any time prior to index diagnosis date. 2. Evidence of other primary cancer (except for skin cancer) at any time prior to index diagnosis date. 3. Patients who participate in an interventional clinical trial at any time prior to or during the study period. 4. Patients with severely incomplete or inconsistent data, precluding validity of results. Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
