  • Research summary

    This study is a real-world evaluation of patient outcomes and experiences with ribociclib (Kisqali) early adopters. It is a hybrid study integrating the collection of real-world clinical outcomes using data collected from medical records, as well as the collection of patient self-reported qualitative and quantitative experiences on symptoms, impacts and overall experience with treatment (PROs). This will enable understanding of clinical benefits, past experiences and side effects associated with ribociclib+ endocrine therapy (ET) in routine clinical practice, supporting patient-centred value assessment and informing optimal use in the broader breast cancer population. Additionally, the study will collect data on PROs and side effects for abemaciclib (Verzenios)+ ET.
    This study is being sponsored by Novartis Pharma AG and will be conducted across several countries. The study will enrol about 2900 patients with HR+/HER2- stage II and III early breast cancer. (about 2650 treated with ribociclib plus ET and about 250 treated with abemaciclib plus ET).
    Participants treated with ribociclib will be in the study for a maximum of 54 months and those treated with abemaciclib will be in the study for a maximum of 42 months.
