New treatment option for Metastatic Breast Cancer
Official title The CDK4/6 Inhibitor Dosing Knowledge (CDK) Study
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06377852
What this study is testing
What is Palbociclib 125mg?
Palbociclib 125mg is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for metastatic breast cancer.
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 study is to generate evidence on an alternative dosing strategy for CDK4/6 inhibitors to help more patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) (age ≥ 65 years) tolerate side effects and stay on treatment longer, to derive the most clinical benefit from these drugs. The primary objective of the CDK Study is to compare time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) on the approved dosing for palbociclib (125 mg orally daily on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle) or ribociclib (600 mg orally daily on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle) vs.
