This is a Phase II, two-arm, single center, patient preference study designed to evaluate the impact of omitting adjuvant chemotherapy in moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk (men or premenopausal women T2-3N0 and RS 16-25, or T1-3N1-2 and RS ≤ 25, and postmenopausal women T2-3N0 and RS 26-30, or T1-3N1 and RS 26-30, or T1-3N2 and RS ≤ 25),
This is a Phase II, two-arm, single-center, patient-preference clinical trial designed to evaluate the impact of omitting adjuvant chemotherapy in moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer treated with a combination regimen of ribociclib and optimized ET. The trial will enroll 140 participants with resected moderate to high-anatomic risk, low-genomic risk (men or premenopausal women T2-3N0 and RS 16-25, or T1-3N1-2 and RS ≤ 25, and postmenopausal women T2-3N0 and RS 26-30, or T1-3N1 and RS 26-30, or T1-3N2 and RS ≤ 25), ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Participants will have the option to decide whether to include adjuvant chemotherapy in their treatment plan. Arm 1 will receive the combination of ribociclib and optimized ET. Arm 2 will be treated with adjuvant chemotherapy followed by a combination of ribociclib and optimized ET. Enrollment will be closely monitored to ensure that there are 70 evaluable participants in each arm of the study to ensure we can estimate one-year discontinuation rate with a reasonable level of precision.

RECRUITINGDiscontinuation rate of ribociclib in patients with resected moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
Discontinuation rate of ribociclib in participants with resected moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk (men or premenopausal women T2-3N0 and RS 16-25, or T1-3N1-2 and RS ≤ 25, and postmenopausal women T2-3N0 and RS 26-30, or T1-3N1 and RS 26-30, or T1-3N2 and RS ≤ 25), ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who choose to forgo adjuvant chemotherapy in their treatment regimen. One-year treatment discontinuation is defined as treatment discontinuation within one year for any reason (e.g., adverse events, disease recurrence, patient/investigator decision, lost to follow up, etc).
Time frame: Within one year of treatment
Invasive disease-free survival in patients with resected moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
iDFS is defined as the time from initiation of treatment to the first diagnosis of local invasive recurrence following mastectomy, local invasive recurrence in the ipsilateral breast following lumpectomy, regional recurrence, distant recurrence, contralateral invasive breast cancer, second non-breast primary cancer (excluding squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin), or death from any cause prior to recurrence or second primary cancer using STEEP criteria as assessed by investigator. iDFS using STEEP criteria, assessed separately in the participants who select to omit adjuvant chemotherapy (arm 1) and those who include adjuvant chemotherapy in their treatment regimen (arm 2).
Time frame: Defined as the time from initiation of treatment to three years post-survival
Change from Baseline in Severity of Symptoms in patients with resected moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This seeks to assess the change from baseline in the severity of symptoms. This will be measured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) GP5. FACT-G GP5 will be scored from scale of 0-4; with 0 indicating "not at all" and 4 indicating "very much". The objective is to describe patient-reported outcomes (PRO) for these measures in participants in arm 1 and arm 2.
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
For men or premenopausal women: Letrozole 2.5 mg by mouth daily continuously or anastrozole 1 mg by mouth daily continuously, concurrently with goserelin 3.6 mg monthly injection.
Adjuvant chemotherapy dose modifications in Arm 2 will be per institutional guidelines and investigator discretion.
Time frame: At baseline, every three months during the first year and every six months during years 2 and 3
Change from Baseline in Physical Functioning and Global Health Status/Quality of Life in patients with resected moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This seeks to evaluate the change from baseline in the physical functioning sub-scale score and global health status/Quality of Life scale score of participants. This will be measured using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). This questionnaire is scored from 1 to 4; with 1 indicating 'not at all' and 4 indicating 'very much'. The objective is to describe patient-reported outcomes related to health-related quality-of-life in participants in arm 1 and arm 2.
Time frame: At baseline, every three months during the first year and every six months during years 2 and 3
Factors Impacting Decision Making in Adjuvant Treatment Decisions in patients with resected moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This seeks to to identify and understand the factors that impact participants' decision-making processes, as assessed by a modified version of the Control Preferences Scale. This tool uses a card-sorting method, where participants are asked to rank five cards with different decision-making roles. It is then scored by the participant's preference order over the five cards. The objective is to explore the factors influencing the decision to include or omit adjuvant treatment among participants in arm 1 and arm 2. This assessment will help in understanding the preferences and considerations of patients regarding their treatment plans.
Time frame: At baseline
Changes in fear of cancer recurrence in patients with resected moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This seeks to assess the changes in fear of cancer recurrence among participants, measured using the Fear of Cancer Recurrence-7 (FCR-7) scale. The first six items on the scale are scored on a 5-point scale, with 1 indicating "not at all" and 5 indicating "all the time". The seventh item assesses the extent to which Fear of Cancer Recurrence interferes with thoughts and activities on a 10 point scale, where 0 indicates "not at all" and 10 indicates "a great deal". The sale is then totaled; a score of less greater than 4 on items 1-6 or greater than 7 on item 7 suggests a significant level of fear of cancer recurrence. This evaluation aims to provide insights into the emotional and psychological impact of cancer treatment decisions.
Time frame: At baseline, six months, and one year
Change from Baseline in Anxiety/Depression in patients with resected moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This seeks to assess the change from baseline in anxiety and depression of participants. This will be measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). PHQ-9 will be scored from 0 to 3, with 0 indicating 'not at all' and 3 indicating 'nearly every day'. The scores will then be tallied, with scores ranging from 0-27, where higher scores will indicate greater depression severity. The objective is to describe patient-reported outcomes (PRO) for these measures in participants in arm 1 and arm 2.
Time frame: At baseline, every three months during the first year and every six months during years 2 and 3
Changes in decision regret in patients with resected moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This seeks to assess the changes in decision regret among participants, measured using the Decision Regret Scale. This scale is scored from 1 to 5, where 1 indicates "strongly agree" and 5 indicates "strongly disagree". This evaluation aims to provide insights into the emotional and psychological impact of cancer treatment decisions
Time frame: At baseline, six months, and one year
Change from Baseline in Severity of Symptoms in patients with resected moderate to high-anatomical risk, low-genomic risk, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This seeks to assess the change from baseline in the severity of symptoms. This will be measured using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events-Patient Reported Outcome (CTCAE-PRO). CTCAE-PRO will be scored from "none/not at all" to "very severe/severe". The objective is to describe patient-reported outcomes (PRO) for these measures in participants in arm 1 and arm 2.
Time frame: At baseline, every three months during the first year and every six months during years 2 and 3
