Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

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).

Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) in Women and Men With Hormone Receptor Positiv, HER-2 Negative Breast Cancer Treated With Ribocilib and Letrozole
At 24 weeks after last patient enrolled in trial

Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) after 24 weeks of treatment as defined by RECIST 1.1 as percentage of patients with Complete Response (CR), Partial response (PR) or Stable disease (SD) lasting 24 weeks or longer as well as patients with Non-complete response, nonprogressive disease (NCRNPD).

Progression Free Survival (PFS) Per Investigator Assessment
From randomization to first documented progression or death, assessed up to approximately 26 months

PFS was defined as the period starting from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression or death caused by any reason. 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
From randomization to first documented progression or death, assessed up to approximately 29 months

PFS was defined as the period starting from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression or death caused by any reason. 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

Recurrence Free Survival (RFS)
3 years

Estimate subsequent recurrence-free survival (RFS) at 3 years for ribociclib when administered with ET (AIs or fulvestrant). RFS is defined as interval from registration until invasive or DCIS recurrence in the ipsilateral breast or locoregionally, invasive recurrence at a distant site, or death from breast cancer or any other cause, whichever occurs first. The censoring time is the completion of study at 6 years (3 years of patient accrual and 3 years of follow up time). The RFS at 3 years will be also treated as the primary endpoint in the power and sample size calculation.

Distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) in the ROR-low cohort (responder cohort)
Until recurrence (if it happens) for a maximum of 7.5 years of follow-up

DMFS is defined as the time from date of surgery to date of first event of distant metastatic recurrence or death (any cause).

Number of Participants With Response Rate Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1
3 years 10 months

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

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.

RP2D of Docetaxel (Phase 1b)
Up to 2 years

The RP2D of docetaxel will be reported when used in combination with ribociclib and prednisone based upon evaluation of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and adverse events for all participants in the Phase Ib group. Per Investigator discretion, the RP2D schedule of docetaxel and ribociclib may be established in the absence of reaching MTD, based on the cumulative safety data of the treatment regimen.

Percentage of Participants With Radiographic Progression-free Survival at 6 Months (Phase 1b/2 RP2D)
Up to 6 months

Radiographic progression-free survival will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. 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.

Pharmacokinetic analysis - AUC(0-24hr):
3 years

Blood samples obtained for Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis will be used to describe how study drugs are distributed and metabolized by human subjects. Samples for PK analysis will be obtained during Cycle 1 of all Cohorts. Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 24 hours (AUC(0-24hr)) is a measure of a subject's exposure to study drugs.

Pharmacokinetic analysis - Cmax
3 years

Blood samples obtained for Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis will be used to describe how study drugs are distributed and metabolized by human subjects. Samples for PK analysis will be obtained during Cycle 1 of all Cohorts. Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) will be determined from the plasma concentration data

Pharmacokinetic analysis - Tmax
3 years

Blood samples obtained for Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis will be used to describe how study drugs are distributed and metabolized by human subjects. Samples for PK analysis will be obtained during Cycle 1 of all Cohorts. Time of first observation of Cmax (tmax) will be determined from the plasma concentration data

Toxicity assessments
