Overview
This non-interventional study (NIS) aims to evaluate effectiveness, persistence, treatment patterns, adverse events (AEs), and patient-reported experience (including adherence, treatment satisfaction, health-related quality of life \[HRQoL\], work productivity, and etc.), among HR+/HER2- stage II and III eBC patients treated with ribociclib + ET, and to evaluate AEs and patients-reported experience among HR+/HER2- stage II and III eBC patients treated with abemaciclib + ET, as per local label.
Description
This will be a multi-center, multi-country, observational, non-interventional, hybrid study among HR+/HER2- stage II or III eBC patients treated with ribociclib + ET or abemaciclib + ET, as per local label in routine clinical care settings.
The study will include a retrospective and a prospective part. The hybrid design will combine retrospective data extraction from patients' EHRs and prospective data collection from validated PRO questionnaires, bespoke questions, and qualitative interviews, to provide comprehensive data on the patient population.
The exploratory objectives will assess HR+/HER2- stage II and III eBC patients treated with abemaciclib + ET. No formal comparison between the cohorts will be made
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Males or females.

- Tested positive for estrogen receptor (ER+), or
- Tested positive for progesterone receptor (PR+), or
- Tested positive for both.
- Tested negative for HER2 (HER2-) using the closest biomarker test on or before the adjuvant therapy initiation date.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with local or distant breast cancer recurrence before the ribociclib/abemaciclib initiation date.
- Patients enrolled in clinical trials (receiving treatment with clinical study drugs in any setting, i.e., neoadjuvant, adjuvant, local/regional, metastatic) during the 12-month baseline period.
- Patients physically/mentally incapable of understanding the study requirements or fulfilling data collection instruments and require the support of a legally authorized representative.
