Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to collect additional safety and efficacy data for the combination of ribociclib + letrozole in men and pre/postmenopausal women with HR+HER2- advanced breast cancer and no prior hormonal treatment for advanced disease..

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Breast Cancer Drug: Ribociclib Drug: Letrozole Drug: Goserelin Drug: Leuprolide Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This is an open-label, single arm, multi-center Phase IIIb study. The study is composed of 2 phases: Core Phase and Extension Phase. In the Core Phase, safety and efficacy data was collected. The study treatment during the Core Phase was provided until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicities, physician's decision, subject/guardian's decision, protocol deviation, study termination by sponsor, lost to follow-up, technical problems or up to 18 months after LPFV. The extension phase is still on-going, and results of the extension phase will be provided after study completion.

In the event that patients were still deriving benefit at the end of the Core phase and ribociclib was not approved or available and reimbursed, patients were transitioned to the Extension Phase and will continue to receive study treatment until progression, intolerance, death or physician/patient decision. Only safety and clinical benefit (as assessed by investigator) data will be collected in the Extension Phase. During the Extension Phase, if ribociclib is approved and reimbursed, patients will be transitioned to prescription or drug access/support program(s) according to local laws and regulations. The Extension Phase is ongoing.

Canadian sub-study: this sub-study is a multicenter Canadian exploratory correlative sample collection sub-study that aims to better understand mechanisms of response and resistance to ribociclib in combination with letrozole therapy. This sub-study was available for all Canadian subjects enrolled on the main study and did not alter the planned treatment.

Letrozole is procured locally and administered orally once a day on a continuous daily schedule at a dose of 2.5 mg

Drug: Goserelin
Goserelin is procured locally and administered in men and premenopausal women as an injectable subcutaneous implant administered on day 1 starting at Cycle 1 and then every 28 days at a dose of 3.6 mg (cycle = 28 days)

Drug: Leuprolide
Leuprolide is procured locally and administered in men and premenopausal women as an injectable intramuscular depot administered on day 1 starting at Cycle 1 and then every 28 days at a dose of 7.5 mg (cycle= 28 days)




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs) During Treatment With Ribociclib + Letrozole in the Core Phase [ Time Frame: From start of treatment up to 30 days after last treatment (for participants who did not enter to the Extension Phase) or up to last treatment in the Core Phase (for participants who entered the Extension Phase), assessed up to approximately 33 months. ]

    AEs were defined as the appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) undesirable sign(s), symptom(s), or medical condition(s).

    SAEs were defined as meeting at least 1 of the following criteria: is fatal or life-threatening, Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, constitutes a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is medically significant, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. A SAE which caused death of the participant was considered as fatal SAE.

    AEs were assessed and graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Grade 1 to 5 were used to characterize the severity of the Adverse Event. Grade 1: mild; Grade 2: moderate; Grade 3: severe; Grade 4: life-threatening and Grade 5: death related to AE.

    A participant with multiple severity grades for an AE is only counted under the maximum grade.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time-to-Progression (TTP) Based on Investigator's Assessment (Core Phase) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 33 months ]

    Time to progression (TTP) is defined as time from date of start of treatment to the date of first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer. Participants with symptoms of rapidly progressing disease without radiologic evidence were classified as progression only when clear evidence of clinical deterioration was documented and/or patient discontinued due to 'Disease progression' or death due to study indication. When there was no documentation of radiologic evidence of progression, and the patient discontinued for 'Disease progression' due to documented clinical deterioration of disease, the date of discontinuation was used as date of progression.

    TTP was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. 95% CI of median was calculated according to Brookmeyer and Crowley method.


  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR) Based on Investigator's Assessment (Core Phase) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 33 months ]

    Overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of participants with best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1 based on investigator's assessment.

    CR: Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 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.

    95% CI was calculated using the exact binomial method.


  3. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) Based on Investigator's Assessment (Core Phase) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 33 months ]

    Clinical benefit rate (CBR) is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR), or partial response (PR) or an overall lesion response of stable disease (SD), lasting as per local review, for a duration of at least 24 weeks. CR, PR and SD are defined according to RECIST 1.1 based on investigator's assessment.

    CR: Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 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.

    95% CI was calculated using the exact binomial method.


  4. Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Breast (FACT-B) Score (Core Phase) [ Time Frame: On Day 1 of Cycle 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and after that every 3 cycles, and End of treatment, assessed up to 33 months. Cycle=28 days ]

    Change from baseline in FACT-B scores was assessed. FACT-B is a self-report instrument that measures multidimensional quality of life (QOL) in patients with breast cancer. The FACT-B consists of 37 questions that address physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being, with specific questions relevant to women with breast cancer. Each item has a score range of 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much), with a total score ranging from 0-148. The higher the score, the better the QOL reported by the participant. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement in QoL.

    Due to the nature of the questionnaire, only females were asked to complete this questionnaire.


  5. Number of Participants With AEs and SAEs in the Extension Phase [ Time Frame: From end of core phase up to approximately 18 months ]

    AEs were defined as the appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) undesirable sign(s), symptom(s), or medical condition(s).

    SAEs were defined as meeting at least 1 of the following criteria: is fatal or life-threatening, Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, constitutes a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is medically significant, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization.

    AEs were assessed and graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Grade 1 to 5 were used to characterize the severity of the Adverse Event. Grade 1: mild; Grade 2: moderate; Grade 3: severe; Grade 4: life-threatening and Grade 5: death related to AE.

    A participant with multiple severity grades for an AE is only counted under the maximum grade.


  6. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Benefit (Extension Phase) [ Time Frame: From end of core phase up to approximately 18 months ]
    Clinical benefit as assessed by the Investigator


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Canadian Sub-study: Proteomic Analysis of Ribociclib and Letrozole Cohort Not Achieving Clinical Benefit Compared to a Cohort Sensitive to Treatment With Ribociclib and Letrozole [ Time Frame: Screening (up to 28 days before first dose of study treatment) ]
    Exploratory analysis performed in archival tumor samples collected during screening in the main study. Protein expression levels of the ribociclib plus letrozole cohort that did not achieve clinical benefit (progression within 3 months of treatment) and the cohort sensitive to ribociclib and letrozole (cohort with a time to progression of 22 months or more) were determined using using Single-Pot, Solid-Phase-enhanced, Sample Preparation-Clinical Tissue Proteomics (SP3-CTP). For normalization purposes a pooled internal standard sample, comprised of aliquots of every sample included in the study, was included in each experimental batch. Protein abundances were calculated as the log2 transformed abundances relative to the pooled internal standard. Positive values represent higher protein expression levels compared to the pooled internal standard. Expression levels of proteins that showed association to predicting response to study treatment are presented.
