Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • 3\. Patients previously receiving CDK4/6 inhibition apart from palbociclib (ribociclib or abemaciclib) so as to not have biased results.

Other illness

  • 2\. Patients with HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer, due to different algorithms for treatment and prognosis.
  • 5\. Patients with other cancers or severe comorbidities which had a direct impact on survival results independent of breast cancer per criteria done in other real-world observational cohorts

Other

  • 4\. Patients without complete medical history or follow-up sufficient to evaluate reliable outcomes.

Who the study is looking for

  • 3\. Patients evaluated prior to treatment with letrozole or fulvestrant having had at least 1 cycle of palbociclib (retrospectively, Ibrance® or prospectively, Palbociclib-IPI) for HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
  • 4\. Availability of a complete history and physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies of the patients, including baseline and follow-up tests and examinations.
  • 5\. For the prospective group, the patients had to be willing to give informed consent for evaluation of quality of life and for evaluation of medical data.
