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

Study Arms (2)
Arm A (chemotherapy, hormone therapy, ribociclib)
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients 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.
Arm B (hormone therapy, ribociclib)
EXPERIMENTALPatients 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 and 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 undergo CT scan, bone scan, or FDG PET-CT scan and may optionally undergo blood sample collection throughout the study.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- STEP 0: Patient must be ≥ 18 years of age
- STEP 0: Patient must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 within 28 days prior to Step 0 pre-registration
- STEP 0: Patient must be a postmenopausal woman or a man
- NOTE: Menopause can be determined by any of the following:
- Prior bilateral oophorectomy
- Age ≥ 60 years
- Age \< 60 years with amenorrhea for ≥ 12 months and estradiol and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the postmenopausal range
- NOTE: FSH and estradiol levels should be repeated as clinically indicated to ensure menopausal status in patients with breast cancer with chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea
- STEP 0: Patient must meet one of the following staging criteria postoperatively according to American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition criteria
- pT0-T3 with 3 positive ipsilateral lymph nodes (micro-or macrometastatic disease) and no planned axillary lymph node dissection after definitive surgery in the breast and axilla with curative intent.
- pT0-T3 with N2 or N3
- pT3 with N0-N3
- NOTES:
- Patients with T4 breast cancer are not eligible.
- Positive isolated tumor cells (ITCs) in axillary nodes without micro- or macrometastasis are considered N0 for eligibility purposes.
- +51 more criteria
