This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center observational non-interventional study (NIS) in Germany and Austria.
Patients diagnosed with HR+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer indicated by their treating physicians for first line endocrine-based palbociclib combination therapy and who meet eligibility criteria will be invited to participate in this study. The key objectives of this study are to describe clinical, scientific and patient reported outcomes for patients with HR+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer initiating treatment with first line endocrine-based palbociclib combination therapy in the real-world setting in Germany and Austria. Patient characteristics, real-world treatment patterns, treatment sequences and reasons for the physician's treatment decisions will be collected. Additional real-world research questions are to explore patient-focused parameters such as longitudinal follow-up data on patient-reported outcomes beyond disease progression and by treatment sequence or to analyze the time from the start of first line treatment to the first administered palliative chemotherapy. Clinical outcome by treatment sequences will be described. Routinely assessed biomarkers and diagnostic procedures applied for treatment sequence decisions will be collected.

Change from baseline in the FACT-B total score
The FACT-B is a 37-item instrument designed to measure five domains of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in breast cancer patients: Physical Well-being (PWB), Social/family Well-being (SWB), Emotional Well-being (EWB), Functional Well-being (FWB) as well as a Breast Cancer Subscale (BCS). Utilized with the 27 core FACT-G items, the FACT-B was developed with an emphasis on patients' values and brevity. For all questions, participants are asked to respond to a 5-point Likert-type scale where 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. The higher the score, the better the QOL (minimum 0; maximum 148).
Time frame: from the date of first questionnaire assessment until the date of last questionnaire assessment, assessed at baseline, thereafter 3-monthly until end of study, and at the end of palbociclib treatment, up to 7.5 years.
Change from baseline in the FACT-G total score
The FACT-G is a 27-item instrument designed to measure four domains of HRQOL in breast cancer patients: PWB, SWB, EWB, and FWB. For all questions, participants are asked to respond to a 5-point Likert-type scale where 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. The higher the score, the better the QOL (minimum 0; maximum 108).
Time frame: from the date of first questionnaire assessment until the date of last questionnaire assessment, assessed at baseline, thereafter 3-monthly until end of study, and at the end of palbociclib treatment, up to 7.5 years.
Change from baseline in the FACT-B subscales scores: PWB, SWB, EWB, FWB and additional concerns for BCS.

Change from baseline in FACT-B Trial Outcome Index (TOI)
The FACT-B is a 37-item instrument designed to measure five domains of HRQOL in breast cancer patients: PWB, SWB, EWB, FWB as well as a BCS. Utilized with the 27 core FACT-G items, the FACT-B was developed with an emphasis on patients' values and brevity. The TOI combines the PWB+FWB+BCS items, making it 24-items altogether. For all questions, participants are asked to respond to a 5-point Likert-type scale where 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. The higher the score, the better the QOL (minimum 0; maximum 96).
Time frame: from the date of first questionnaire assessment until the date of last questionnaire assessment, assessed at baseline, thereafter 3-monthly until end of study, and at the end of palbociclib treatment, up to 7.5 years.
