The main aim of the study was to evaluate the real-world tolerability and safety of ribociclib as a first-line (1L) treatment among adults with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HR+/HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (mBC). This study used data from the Flatiron Health Research Database (FHRD). The FHRD is a longitudinal database derived from electronic health records (EHRs) and other real-world data (RWD) sources from cancer care providers across the United States. The dataset generated for this study included de-identified patient-level data for eligible individuals between 1 January 2015 up to the data cutoff date, 30 November 2022.
