Real-World study tracks breast cancer drug performance outside the lab
NCT ID NCT07243002
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is observing 3,000 people with early-stage HR+/HER2- breast cancer who are taking ribociclib or abemaciclib as part of their routine care. Researchers will look at how long patients stay cancer-free, how well they stick to their medication, and their quality of life. The goal is to understand how these drugs work in real-world settings, not just in controlled clinical trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ribociclib and abemaciclib (CDK4/6 inhibitors)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide real-world evidence on how well these drugs work and are tolerated outside of clinical trials.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by patient selection and other factors. It does not test a new treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Males or females. * Diagnosed with breast cancer, as defined by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), 9th or 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM 174.xx, 175.xx/ICD-10-CMC50.xx). * Aged ≥18 years (or local legal age of consent) at the date of initial breast cancer diagnosis. * Patients with anatomic staging II and III as determined using American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Criteria. * Have initiated adjuvant therapy with ribociclib or abemaciclib, per the approved local label, in combination with ET (within 14 days prior to enrollment). * Have HR+ status, as determined by the closest biomarker test on or before the adjuvant therapy initiation date: * Tested positive for estrogen receptor (ER+), or * Tested positive for progesterone receptor (PR+), or * Tested positive for both. * Tested negative for HER2 (HER2-) using the closest biomarker test on or before the adjuvant therapy initiation date. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with local or distant breast cancer recurrence before the ribociclib/abemaciclib initiation date. * Patients enrolled in clinical trials (receiving treatment with clinical study drugs in any setting, i.e., neoadjuvant, adjuvant, local/regional, metastatic) during the 12-month baseline period. * Patients physically/mentally incapable of understanding the study requirements or fulfilling data collection instruments and require the support of a legally authorized representative.
