Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Ribociclib
Treatment: Drugs - Fulvestrant
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: Ribociclib + fulvestrant - Ribociclib was administered orally at a daily dose of 600mg for 21 consecutive days within a 28-day cycle. This treatment was combined with fulvestrant, which was administered via intramuscular injections of 500mg every 28 days starting on Day 1 of each cycle. Additionally, an extra dose of fulvestrant was given on Day 15 of Cycle 1. For participants who did not tolerate the protocol-specified dosing schedule, dose adjustments were permitted in order to allow the patient to continue the study treatment.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo + fulvestrant - Placebo was administered orally for 21 consecutive days within a 28-day cycle. This treatment was combined with fulvestrant, which was administered via intramuscular injections of 500mg every 28 days starting on Day 1 of each cycle. Additionally, an extra dose of fulvestrant was given on Day 15 of Cycle 1. For participants who did not tolerate the protocol-specified dosing schedule, dose adjustments were permitted in order to allow the patient to continue the study treatment.
Participants were unblinded after the implementation of protocol amendment 4 (29-Jan-20) and were given the option to crossover to treatment with ribociclib and fulvestrant.


Treatment: Drugs: Ribociclib
Ribociclib capsules were administered orally at a daily dose of 600mg for 21 consecutive days within a 28-day cycle.

Treatment: Drugs: Fulvestrant
Fulvestrant was administered via intramuscular injections at a dose of 500mg every 28 days, starting on Day 1 of each cycle. In Cycle 1, an additional dose of Fulvestrant was given on Day 15.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Placebo capsules were administered orally for 21 consecutive days within a 28-day cycle.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Key

1. Patients were adults, both male and female, aged = 18 years at the time of providing
informed consent. Female patients were required to be postmenopausal. Informed consent
was obtained prior to any trial-related activities, following local guidelines.

2. Patients had a confirmed diagnosis of estrogen-receptor positive and/or progesterone
receptor positive breast cancer, determined through histological and/or cytological
examination by a local laboratory. Patients also had HER2-negative breast cancer.

3. Patients had either measurable disease as per RECIST 1.1 criteria or at least one
predominantly lytic bone lesion.

4. Patients had advanced breast cancer, which included locoregionally recurrent disease
not amenable to curative therapies (such as surgery or radiotherapy) or metastatic
breast cancer. Patients fell into one of the following categories:

- Newly diagnosed with advanced/metastatic breast cancer and treatment-naïve.

- Relapsed with documented evidence of relapse more than 12 months after completing
(neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy, without any prior treatment for
advanced/metastatic disease.

- Relapsed with documented evidence of relapse on or within 12 months from
completing (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy, without any prior treatment for
advanced/metastatic disease.

- Relapsed with documented evidence of relapse more than 12 months after completing
adjuvant endocrine therapy and subsequently progressed after receiving one line
of endocrine therapy (antiestrogen or aromatase inhibitor) for
advanced/metastatic disease.

- Newly diagnosed with advanced/metastatic breast cancer at diagnosis and
progressed after receiving one line of endocrine therapy (antiestrogen or
aromatase inhibitor), with documented evidence of progression.

5. Patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or
1.

6. Patients had adequate bone marrow and organ function.

Key
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Patients with symptomatic visceral disease or disease burden that rendered them ineligible
for endocrine therapy, based on the investigator's judgment.

2. Patients who had received prior treatment with chemotherapy (except for
neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy), fulvestrant, or any CDK4/6 inhibitor.

3. Patients with inflammatory breast cancer at the screening stage. 4. Patients with
central nervous system (CNS) involvement, unless they were at least 4 weeks from completing
prior therapy before initiating the study treatment and had a stable CNS tumor at the time
of screening. They were also required not to be receiving steroids and/or enzyme-inducing
anti-epileptic medications for brain metastases.

5. Patients with clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac
repolarization abnormality.

6. Patients who were currently receiving any of the following substances, which could not
be discontinued 7 days prior to initiating treatment:

- Known strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4/5.

- Substances with a known risk of prolonging the QT interval or inducing Torsades de
Pointes.

- Substances with a narrow therapeutic window and predominantly metabolized through
CYP3A4/5.

- Herbal preparations/medications, dietary supplements.
