Conditions

Adjuvant Therapy, CDK4/6 Inhibitor

Brief summary

This is a multicenter observational study with both retrospective and prospective phase, designed to evaluate the clinico-pathologic characteristics and outcomes of patients with HR+/HER2- EBC at high risk of recurrence treated with ribociclib or abemaciclib in combination with ET in the adjuvant setting.

Detailed description

The study will also evaluate clinico-pathologic characteristics, patterns of recurrence, therapeutic choices and outcomes of the subgroup of patients relapsed during or within 12 months after adjuvant therapy with CDK4/6 inhibitors in combination with ET.

Inclusion criteria

* Female (regardless of menopausal status) or male ≥18 years of age; * The patient has confirmed HR+, HER2-, early-stage resected invasive breast cancer candidate to adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitors (abemaciclib or ribociclib); * ER and PgR positivity is defined as evidence of immunohistochemical staining ≥ 1% according to ASCO/CAP recommendations; HER2 negativity is defined as expression of the membrane protein in immunohistochemistry 0 or 1+ or with a 2+ in situ hybridization (ISH) test negative as per ASCO/CAP recommendations; * Patients who are initiating or have initiated adjuvant treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (abemaciclib or ribociclib) in combination with endocrine therapy (ET). Treatment must have started on or after January 1, 2021. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2; * Consent to data treatment according to the local regulation.

Exclusion criteria

* Current participation in any other HR+/HER2- EBC study with any investigational products; * Patients who have already received adjuvant treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor as part of a clinical trial; * Patients unable to comply with the requirements of the study or who, in the judge of the study physician, should not be included in the study; * Patients with a history of previous BC, with the exception of Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) treated by locoregional therapy alone ≥5 years ago; * Patients with a history of any other cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix), unless in complete remission with no therapy for a minimum of 5 years from the index date, will be excluded, as well.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Invasive-disease free survival (IDFS)3 yearsInvasive disease-free survival (IDFS) will be defined as the time from surgery to invasive loco-regional recurrence, metastasis, other primary non-breast carcinomas, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Distant relapse-free survival (DRFS)5 yearsDRFS will be defined as the time from surgery to distant recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
progression-free survival (PFS)5 yearsPFS will be defined as the time from the disease recurrence to the date of documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Overall survival (OS)5 yearsOS will be defined as the time from surgery to death from any cause.
