Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Enrolled participants were randomly assigned to receive either fulvestrant+ribociclib or fulvestrant+placebo in a ratio of 2:1. The randomization process was stratified based on the presence of liver and/or lung metastases (yes versus no) and prior endocrine therapy. Treatment was administered until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation from the study treatment for other reasons.
Participants who discontinued treatment due to reasons other than disease progression or withdrawal of consent for efficacy follow-up continued to be monitored until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or subject/guardian decision.
All participants who discontinued treatment were followed for survival until the predetermined number of overall survival (OS) events was reached.
A protocol amendment 4 (dated 29-Jan-2020) allowed for unblinding of study participants, and those still receiving placebo had the option to switch to the ribociclib arm. The decision for crossover was made at the investigator's discretion and required patient consent.

Study Groups

Ribociclib + fulvestrant
Ribociclib was administered orally at a daily dose of 600mg for 21 consecutive days within a 28-day cycle. This treatment was combined with fulvestrant, which was administered via intramuscular injections of 500mg every 28 days starting on Day 1 of each cycle. Additionally, an extra dose of fulvestrant was given on Day 15 of Cycle 1. For participants who did not tolerate the protocol-specified dosing schedule, dose adjustments were permitted in order to allow the patient to continue the study treatment.
Ribociclib
Ribociclib capsules were administered orally at a daily dose of 600mg for 21 consecutive days within a 28-day cycle.
Fulvestrant
Fulvestrant was administered via intramuscular injections at a dose of 500mg every 28 days, starting on Day 1 of each cycle. In Cycle 1, an additional dose of Fulvestrant was given on Day 15.
Placebo + fulvestrant
Placebo was administered orally for 21 consecutive days within a 28-day cycle. This treatment was combined with fulvestrant, which was administered via intramuscular injections of 500mg every 28 days starting on Day 1 of each cycle. Additionally, an extra dose of fulvestrant was given on Day 15 of Cycle 1. For participants who did not tolerate the protocol-specified dosing schedule, dose adjustments were permitted in order to allow the patient to continue the study treatment.
Participants were unblinded after the implementation of protocol amendment 4 (29-Jan-20) and were given the option to crossover to treatment with ribociclib and fulvestrant.
Fulvestrant
Fulvestrant was administered via intramuscular injections at a dose of 500mg every 28 days, starting on Day 1 of each cycle. In Cycle 1, an additional dose of Fulvestrant was given on Day 15.
Placebo
Placebo capsules were administered orally for 21 consecutive days within a 28-day cycle.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Patients had a confirmed diagnosis of estrogen-receptor positive and/or progesterone receptor positive breast cancer, determined through histological and/or cytological examination by a local laboratory. Patients also had HER2-negative breast cancer.
3. Patients had either measurable disease as per RECIST 1.1 criteria or at least one predominantly lytic bone lesion.
4. Patients had advanced breast cancer, which included locoregionally recurrent disease not amenable to curative therapies (such as surgery or radiotherapy) or metastatic breast cancer. Patients fell into one of the following categories:
* Newly diagnosed with advanced/metastatic breast cancer and treatment-naïve.
* Relapsed with documented evidence of relapse more than 12 months after completing (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy, without any prior treatment for advanced/metastatic disease.
* Relapsed with documented evidence of relapse on or within 12 months from completing (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy, without any prior treatment for advanced/metastatic disease.
* Relapsed with documented evidence of relapse more than 12 months after completing adjuvant endocrine therapy and subsequently progressed after receiving one line of endocrine therapy (antiestrogen or aromatase inhibitor) for advanced/metastatic disease.
* Newly diagnosed with advanced/metastatic breast cancer at diagnosis and progressed after receiving one line of endocrine therapy (antiestrogen or aromatase inhibitor), with documented evidence of progression.
5. Patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
6. Patients had adequate bone marrow and organ function.
Exclusion Criteria
2\. Patients who had received prior treatment with chemotherapy (except for neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy), fulvestrant, or any CDK4/6 inhibitor.
3\. Patients with inflammatory breast cancer at the screening stage. 4. Patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement, unless they were at least 4 weeks from completing prior therapy before initiating the study treatment and had a stable CNS tumor at the time of screening. They were also required not to be receiving steroids and/or enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic medications for brain metastases.
5\. Patients with clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization abnormality.
6\. Patients who were currently receiving any of the following substances, which could not be discontinued 7 days prior to initiating treatment:
* Known strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4/5.
* Substances with a known risk of prolonging the QT interval or inducing Torsades de Pointes.
* Substances with a narrow therapeutic window and predominantly metabolized through CYP3A4/5.
* Herbal preparations/medications, dietary supplements.
