This study was a randomized, phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled international trial aimed at determining the efficacy and safety of treatment with fulvestrant in combination with ribociclib compared to fulvestrant with placebo in men and postmenopausal women diagnosed with HR+, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. The study comprised four phases: screening (up to 28 days), randomized treatment, post-treatment disease progression follow-up, and post-treatment survival follow-up.
Enrolled participants were randomly assigned to receive either fulvestrant+ribociclib or fulvestrant+placebo in a ratio of 2:1. The randomization process was stratified based on the presence of liver and/or lung metastases (yes versus no) and prior endocrine therapy. Treatment was administered until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation from the study treatment for other reasons.
Participants who discontinued treatment due to reasons other than disease progression or withdrawal of consent for efficacy follow-up continued to be monitored until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or subject/guardian decision.
All participants who discontinued treatment were followed for survival until the predetermined number of overall survival (OS) events was reached.
A protocol amendment 4 (dated 29-Jan-2020) allowed for unblinding of study participants, and those still receiving placebo had the option to switch to the ribociclib arm. The decision for crossover was made at the investigator's discretion and required patient consent.

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.
Placebo capsules were administered orally for 21 consecutive days within a 28-day cycle.
Time frame: 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.
Time frame: From randomization to death, assessed up to approximately 46 months
OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. In cases where the patient's death was not recorded, the OS value was censored at the date of the last known patient's survival status. As per protocol, the final OS analysis was conducted after approximately 351 deaths were documented.
OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The median OS, along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), was reported for each treatment group.
The distribution of OS between the two treatment arms was compared using a log-rank test at one-sided cumulative 2.5% level of significance. A stratified Cox regression was used to estimate the OS hazard ratio and the associated 95% CI.
Time frame: 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 BIRC 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.
Time frame: Up to approximately 26 months
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with the best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1 as per investigator assessment.
CR: Disappearance of all lesions with lymph nodes measuring < 10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.
Time frame: Up to approximately 26 months
CBR was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of CR or PR or stable disease (SD) lasting 24 weeks or longer as defined in RECIST 1.1 as per investigator assessment.
CR: Disappearance of all lesions with lymph nodes measuring < 10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.
SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for progressive disease.
Time frame: From randomization to first response, assessed up to approximately 26 months
TTR was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented and confirmed response (CR or PR) as defined by RECIST 1.1 per investigator assessment. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate TTR, and the median TTR, along with 95% confidence intervals, was reported for each treatment group. Participants who did not achieve a confirmed response were censored at the maximum follow-up time for patients who had a PFS event (i.e. either progressed or died due to any cause) or at the date of last adequate tumor assessment otherwise.
CR: Disappearance of all lesions with lymph nodes measuring < 10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.
Time frame: From first documented response to progression or death, assessed up to approximately 26 months
DOR was defined as the time from the first documented response (CR or PR) to the first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer as defined in RECIST 1.1 per investigator assessment. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate DOR, and the median DOR, along with 95% confidence intervals, was reported for each treatment group. If a participant had not had an event, duration was censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment.
CR: Disappearance of all lesions with lymph nodes measuring < 10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.
Time frame: Up to approximately 26 months
ECOG PS categorized patients based on their ability to perform daily activities and self-care, with scores ranging from 0 to 5. A score of 0 indicated no restrictions in activity, while higher scores indicated increasing limitations. Time to definitive deterioration was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the event, defined as experiencing an increase in ECOG PS by at least one category from the baseline or death. A deterioration was considered definitive if no improvements in the ECOG PS were observed at a subsequent time. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the distribution, and the median time to definitive deterioration, along with 95% confidence intervals, was reported for each treatment group. Patients receiving any further therapy prior to definitive worsening were censored at their date of last assessment prior to start of therapy. Patients that had not worsened at the data cutoff point were censored at the date of last assessment.
Time frame: Up to approximately 26 months
The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire that includes 5 functional scales, 3 symptom scales, a GHS/QoL scale, and 6 single items. GHS/QoL scale scores range between 0 and 100. A high score for GHS/QoL represents better functioning or QoL.
The time to definitive 10% deterioration is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of event, which is defined as at least 10% relative to baseline worsening of the QoL score (without further improvement above the threshold) or death due to any cause. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the distribution, and the median time to definitive 10% deterioration, along with 95% confidence intervals, was reported for each treatment group. If a patient had not had an event, time to deterioration was censored at the date of the last adequate QoL evaluation.
Time frame: Baseline, every 8 weeks after randomization during 18 months, then every 12 weeks up to end of treatment; end of treatment; and every 8 or 12 weeks post-treatment until progression (post-treatment efficacy visits), assessed up to approximately 26 months
The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire that includes 5 functional scales, 3 symptom scales, a GHS/QoL scale, and 6 single items. GHS/QoL scale scores range between 0 and 100. A high score for GHS/QoL represents better functioning or QoL.
The change from baseline in the GHS/QoL score was assessed. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement. For subjects who discontinued treatment without disease progression, post-treatment efficacy visits occurred every 8 weeks during the initial 18 months since start of treatment, followed by visits every 12 weeks until disease progression.
Time frame: Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 at Day 15 pre-dose and at 2, 4, and 6 hours post-dose. Cycle=28 days
