New treatment option for Breast Cancer
Official title Study of Ribociclib Administered Concurrently With Postoperative Radiation Therapy in Patients With High-Risk, HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05996107
What this study is testing
What is Ribociclib?
Ribociclib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily, being studied as a potential treatment for breast cancer.
Also referred to as Kisqali.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety, tolerability and dose of Ribociclib when combined with adjuvant radiation in women with high-risk ER+ breast cancer. Once enrolled on study, patients will begin treatment with Ribociclib 400 mg daily at the same time as they initiate standard of care adjuvant radiation therapy- 50 Gy in 25 fractions or 42.56 Gy in 16 fractions +/- 10 Gy boost including comprehensive nodal.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- Time commitment: about 6 weeks
