View original scientific description
This is an open label, multicenter, single arm phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ribociclib and ET in patients with locoregional recurrence of HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
Interventions
DRUG
Ribociclib
400 mg orally once daily Days 1-21 (28 day Cycle)
DRUG
Fulvestrant
500 mg intramuscularly on Day 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 then Day 1 of Cycle 2+
DRUG
Anastrozole
1 mg orally once daily
DRUG
Letrozole
2.5 mg orally once daily
DRUG
Exemestane
25 mg orally once daily
Primary outcome measures
Recurrence Free Survival (RFS)
Time frame: 3 years
Estimate subsequent recurrence-free survival (RFS) at 3 years for ribociclib when administered with ET (AIs or fulvestrant). RFS is defined as interval from registration until invasive or DCIS recurrence in the ipsilateral breast or locoregionally, invasive recurrence at a distant site, or death from breast cancer or any other cause, whichever occurs first. The censoring time is the completion of study at 6 years (3 years of patient accrual and 3 years of follow up time). The RFS at 3 years will be also treated as the primary endpoint in the power and sample size calculation.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- for Treatment Phase: Subject must meet all of the following applicable inclusion criteria to participate in this study:
- Written informed consent (stage II/ main consent) and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information obtained prior to performing any study-specific screening procedures. NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or obtained separately.
- Male or female age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent. NOTE: Both pre- and post-menopausal women are eligible. Post-menopausal status is defined as:
- Prior bilateral oophorectomy
- Age \<60 and amenorrhea for the last 12 or more months(in the absence of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, toremifen, or ovarian suppression) and FSH and estradiol in the postmenopausal range per local normal range.
- ECOG Performance Status of 0-1 within 28 days prior to registration.
- If patient is receiving tamoxifen or toremifene, a washout period of 5 half-lives (i.e. 35 days) prior to registration is required (during that period the participant can take AI).
- Patient has a histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of estrogen-receptor positive and/or progesterone receptor positive breast cancer based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample and all tested by local laboratory.
- Patient has HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization test or an IHC status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization (FISH, CISH, or SISH) test is required by local laboratory testing and based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample. If there is insufficient tissue from the most recently collected sample, earlier tissue may be used on a case-by-case basis if permission is granted by the sponsor investigator.
- Patients have had adequate local treatment for locoregional recurrence (LRR) of breast cancer.
- Locoregional recurrence is defined as recurrence in the ipsilateral breast, axilla, regional lymph nodes, or chest wall.
- Local treatment is defined as either surgery, radiation therapy, or a combination of both if indicated.
- Adequate local therapy is surgery with negative microscopic margins. Radiation therapy is mandated for patients with microscopically involved margins and recommended for all patients who had not received radiotherapy as part of their primary treatment.
- Patients who have distant metastatic disease will not be eligible.
- Prior treatment with neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy and ET is allowed.
- Patients must enroll within 6 months of the last local treatment, either local surgery or radiation; or systemic chemotherapy (if patient is receiving chemotherapy), whichever occurred last. Chemotherapy after local therapy is allowed. ET for recurrent disease is allowed for up to 12 months prior to enrollment.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
