NCT07391774

Brief Summary

This phase III trial compares standard of care hormone therapy plus ribociclib to chemotherapy followed by hormone therapy plus ribociclib for the treatment of patients with high anatomic stage breast cancer with low risk of the cancer returning (low risk recurrence). Ribociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Hormone therapy, with letrozole, anastrozole or exemestane, lowers the amount of estrogen made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Hormone therapy plus ribociclib may work as well as chemotherapy followed by hormone therapy plus ribociclib for the treatment of high anatomic stage breast cancer with low recurrence risk.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Invasive breast cancer-free survival (iBCFS)

    Invasive disease defined as the first occurrence of one of the following events: local invasive recurrence following mastectomy, local invasive recurrence in the ipsilateral breast following lumpectomy, regional recurrence, distant recurrence, or contralateral invasive breast cancer. The distribution of iBCFS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The hazard ratio will be estimated using Cox proportional hazard model. The primary analysis will compare treatment groups defined by the randomized treatment assignment (intent-to-treat analysis). A secondary analysis will be performed comparing groups defined by treatment received (per protocol analysis).

    From randomization to invasive disease or death, up to 10 years

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Invasive disease free survival

    From randomization to the first occurrence of invasive disease or death, up to 10 years

  • Distant disease free survival

    Up to 10 years

  • Distant recurrence free survival

    Up to 10 years

  • Recurrence-free interval

    Up to 10 years

  • Overall survival

    From randomization to death, up to 10 years

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Primary outcome treatment effect by sex

    Up to 10 years

  • Primary outcome treatment effect by race

    Up to 10 years

  • Primary outcome treatment effect by ethnicity

    Up to 10 years

Study Arms (2)

Arm A (chemotherapy, hormone therapy, ribociclib)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients receive their physician's choice of standard of care chemotherapy. Patients then receive their physician's choice of standard of care hormone therapy with letrozole, anastrozole, or exemestane PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle, as well as ribociclib PO QD on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for at least 60 months for hormone therapy and up to 3 years for ribociclib, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT scan, bone scan, or FDG PET-CT scan and may optionally undergo blood sample collection throughout the study.
