Real-World data could unlock better breast cancer treatment choices
NCT ID NCT07647042
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at medical records from 750 people with a common type of early breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). It aims to understand how doctors treat these patients in real life, especially after newer targeted drugs called CDK4/6 inhibitors became available. By analyzing treatment patterns, genetic testing use, and patient outcomes, the study hopes to improve care for future patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could reveal how well new targeted therapies work in everyday practice, helping doctors choose the best treatments for early breast cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study using existing medical records, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be limited by incomplete data or differences in patient care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: * Diagnosed with HR+/HER2- breast cancer. * No evidence of distant metastatic spread. * Underwent primary breast cancer surgery (mastectomy/lumpectomy) during the study period. * Initiated adjuvant ET within 12 months of surgery date and after September 17, 2024, to the period up to 3 months prior to the data cutoff date. * Had at least one visit during the baseline period and at least one visit one day after the index date. * Patients included must have met one of the following conditions at the time of diagnosis or surgery: 1. Nodal stage (N) N2 or N3 disease. 2. N1 any anatomic tumor size (T), including micrometastatic patients except T0 N1mi and T1 N1mi; For T0 N1mi and T1 N1mi patients with Grade 3 disease alone will be selected. 3. Node-negative with the following high-risk criteria: 1. Tumor size is T3, T4 2. Tumor size is T2 and Grade 3 3. Tumor size is T2 with Grade 2 and either Ki-67 score ≥ 20% or genomic high risk based on Oncotype Dx/Mammaprint/Endopredict/Prosigna Exclusion criteria: * Use of any prior CDK4/6i before the index date. * Missing T or N values for both clinical and surgical stage. * Diagnosis of cancer other than breast cancer. * Evidence of participation in a clinical trial at any time during the study observation period.
