Recruiting PHASE3 Anatomic Stage II Breast Cancer AJCC v8

New treatment option for Anatomic Stage II Breast Cancer AJCC v8

Official title Testing Whether Hormone Therapy With Ribociclib is as Effective as Chemotherapy Followed by Hormone Therapy With Ribociclib for the Treatment of High Anatomic Stage Breast Cancer With Low Recurrence Risk, The RxFINE-Low Trial

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07391774

What this study is testing

What is Anastrozole?

Anastrozole is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for anatomic stage ii breast cancer ajcc v8.

Also referred to as Anastrazole, Arimidex.

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
This phase III trial compares standard of care hormone therapy plus ribociclib to chemotherapy followed by hormone therapy plus ribociclib for the treatment of patients with high anatomic stage breast cancer with low risk of the cancer returning (low risk recurrence). Ribociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
