using RECIST 1.1 criteria, as assessed by local radiologists/investigators

Invasive Breast Cancer Free Survival (iBCFS) rate at 3 years
At 3 years

iBCFS is defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of the first event of invasive ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence, local/regional invasive recurrence, distant recurrence, death (any cause), or contralateral invasive BC. iBCFS will be assessed using STEEP criteria version 2.0 (Standardized Definitions for Efficacy End Points in Adjuvant Breast Cancer Trials), as assessed by Investigator. The iBCFS rate at 3 years will be assessed.

Invasive Disease-Free Survival (iDFS)
Up to approximately 139 months

Invasive Disease-Free Survival (iDFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first event of local invasive breast recurrence, regional invasive recurrence, distant recurrence, death (any cause), contralateral invasive BC, or second primary non-breast invasive cancer (excluding basal and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin). iDFS will be assessed locally using STEEP criteria (Standardized Definitions for Efficacy End Points in Adjuvant Breast Cancer Trials).

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs) During Treatment With Ribociclib + Letrozole in the Core Phase
From start of treatment up to 30 days after last treatment (for participants who did not enter to the Extension phase) or up to last treatment in the Core phase (for participants who entered the Extension phase), assessed up to approximately 33 months.

AEs were defined as the appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) undesirable sign(s), symptom(s), or medical condition(s). SAEs were defined as meeting at least 1 of the following criteria: is fatal or life-threatening, Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, constitutes a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is medically significant, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. A SAE which caused death of the participant was considered as fatal SAE. AEs were assessed and graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Grade 1 to 5 were used to characterize the severity of the Adverse Event. Grade 1: mild; Grade 2: moderate; Grade 3: severe; Grade 4: life-threatening and Grade 5: death related to AE. A participant with multiple severity grades for an AE is only counted under the maximum grade.

In cases where patients did not experience an event, the PFS was censored at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment. Clinical deterioration without objective radiological evidence was not considered as documented disease progression. PFS was assessed via local radiology assessment according to RECIST 1.1. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate PFS, and the median PFS, along with 95% confidence intervals, was reported for each treatment group. The distribution of PFS between the two arms was compared using a stratified log-rank test at a one-sided 2.5% level of significance. The PFS hazard ratio with two-sided 95% confidence interval was derived from the stratified Cox proportional hazards model.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) by Investigator Assessment

In cases where patients did not experience an event, the PFS was censored at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment. Clinical deterioration without objective radiological evidence was not considered as documented disease progression. PFS was assessed via local radiology assessment according to RECIST 1.1. As per protocol, the final PFS analysis was conducted after approximately 392 PFS events were documented. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate PFS, and the median PFS, along with 95% confidence intervals, was reported for each treatment group. A stratified Cox regression model was used to estimate the hazard ratio of PFS, along with 95% confidence interval

Cohort A: Recommended Phase2 Dose (RP2D)
Disease was evaluated at baseline and each cycle on treatment and the end of treatment. Toxicity was evaluated each cycle on treatment, end of treatment and 30 days follow-up. Median treatment duration was 10.9 months with range 2.5 - 19.3 months.

Standard 3+3 phase-I design will be utilized in this trial. Briefly, a minimum of 3 evaluable patients will be entered at first dose level (=300 mg ribociclib) and T-DM1 (3.6 mg/kg IV). If 1 out of the first 3 patients enrolled experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), 3 additional patients will be enrolled to that dose level. If no more than 1 patient in 6 experiences a DLT, dose escalation of ribociclib will continue to next dose-level. If 2 or more patients at any given dose level experience a DLT, dose escalation will stop and the Recommended Phase2 Dose (RP2D) will be defined. Maximum dose-escalation of Ribociclib (LEE011) will be up to 600 mg.

Maximally Tolerated Dose (MTD) (Phase 1b)
Up to 2 years

Maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of ribociclib in combination with docetaxel and prednisone is based upon evaluation of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and adverse events for all participants who received treatment in Phase Ib. If 1 of 3 participants in a cohort experiences a DLT, then the cohort will be expanded to treat an additional 3 participants. If only 1 of 6 participants experiences a DLT, the next cohort of participants will be treated at the next higher dose level. If 2 or more participants in a cohort experience a DLT, then MTD has been exceeded and the previous dose level will be considered the MTD. If more than 1 of 6 patients experience a DLT at dose level IA then the study will be terminated, as the MTD cannot be determined and de-escalation from dose level IA is not planned. Per Investigator discretion the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) schedule of ribociclib and docetaxel may be established in the absence of reaching MTD.

The percent of participants has been estimated using the Kaplan-Meier product limit method. Duration will be measured from day 1 of study treatment to first date of radiographic progression or death, whichever occurs first, for all Phase 1b or Phase 2 participants receiving the RP2D. Participants who discontinue study therapy for toxicity, withdrawal from study, or prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-only progression, will be censored at the date of last radiographic tumor assessment for this analysis. Patients who discontinue therapy for evidence of clinical progression/clinical deterioration will be included in this analysis.

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) (Phase Ib)
During the first cycle of treatment (1 cycle = 28 days)

Defined as the highest dose level that does not lead to unacceptable toxicity in two or more patients in a dosing level.

Pathologic complete response (pCR) (Phase II)
Up to 30 days after last treatment dose

Defined as no invasive tumor in the breast or lymph nodes at the time of surgery. Response evaluable participants are defined as participants who are randomized and have receive at least one cycle of protocol therapy. The pCR rate is defined as percentage of randomized patients with a pCR in each of the treatment arms.The estimated pCR rate (and 95% confidence interval \[CIs\]) will be calculated for each experimental arm and compared to the corresponding control arm using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel x\^2 test, with a two-sided significance level of 5%. Absolute differences in pCR rate between study arms will be calculated, along with 95% exact confidence intervals. This will be stratified according to hormone receptor (HR) status Multivariate logistic regression will be used to control for important baseline characteristics and odds ratios with corresponding CIs will be calculated.

Frequently asked questions about Ribociclib

What is ribociclib?

Ribociclib is a small-molecule oncology drug developed by Novartis AG. It is being studied in breast cancer, including early, advanced, and metastatic disease, as well as in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, advanced solid tumors, and advanced digestive system neuroendocrine neoplasms. It is also known as LEE011 or LEE-011.

What does ribociclib target?

Ribociclib targets CDK4 and CDK6, two cyclin-dependent kinases, and acts as an inhibitor of these enzymes. By inhibiting CDK4 and CDK6, ribociclib is designed to interfere with cell-cycle progression in cancer cells. It is a small molecule given in combination regimens such as ribociclib plus letrozole or fulvestrant.

Who makes ribociclib?

Ribociclib is developed by Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS. Novartis is the sponsor behind the clinical trial program for ribociclib across breast cancer and other oncology indications.

What phase is ribociclib in?

Ribociclib is an investigational drug still in clinical development. Its trial program spans Phase 1 through Phase 3 studies, including a Phase 3b study in early breast cancer and Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies in other settings. It is not described here as approved.

What clinical trials is ribociclib in?

Ribociclib trials include NCT05827081, a recruiting Phase 3b study in early breast cancer with 1,444 planned participants, and NCT05467891, a recruiting Phase 2 study in locoregional recurrent hormone receptor positive HER2 negative breast cancer. Other studies include NCT05843253 in high-grade glioma and NCT05319873 in HER2 positive breast cancer.

Is ribociclib the same as LEE011?

Yes, LEE011 and LEE-011 are alternative names for ribociclib. The drug is also referred to in combination regimens such as ribociclib plus letrozole, ribociclib plus fulvestrant, and ribociclib plus capecitabine, which describe study arms rather than separate products.
