Researchers are evaluating the real-world effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of ribociclib combined with an aromatase inhibitor, with or without luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) therapy, for adjuvant treatment in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. The study also compares data from patients treated with abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy with or without LHRH, and those receiving endocrine monotherapy with or without LHRH. This observational study aims to understand treatment decisions and clinical use of ribociclib after its approval, collecting socio-economic data, quality of life, and patient compliance information. Participants receive treatment based on their physician's clinical judgment without study-assigned interventions. The treatments observed include ribociclib with an aromatase inhibitor LHRH, abemaciclib with endocrine therapy LHRH, or endocrine monotherapy LHRH. The study is conducted in various breast cancer centers and gynecological practices in Germany and Austria to represent local healthcare settings. Participants undergo assessments to monitor treatment effectiveness, safety, quality of life, and adherence to therapy over time. Data collected include clinical outcomes, adverse events, socio-economic status, and patient-reported compliance. The primary outcome measured is invasive disease-free survival over 36 months. This information will help inform clinical decision-making and improve outcomes for patients with early breast cancer in routine practice.

This is a Phase III open-label study to assess if camizestrant improves outcomes compared to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy for patients with ER+/HER2- early breast cancer with intermediate-high or high risk for disease recurrence who completed definitive locoregional therapy (with or without chemotherapy). The planned duration of treatment in either arm of the study is 7 years. Eligible patients must have intermediate-high or high risk of recurrence as defined by specified clinical and biologic criteria. Concurrent use of abemaciclib is permitted in both arms. The primary endpoint of the study is Invasive breast cancer-free survival (IBCFS) and main secondary endpoints include Invasive disease-free survival (IDFS), Distant relapse-free survival (DRFS), Overall survival (OS), Safety and Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs). Patients will be followed for 10 years from randomization of the last patient.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, effectiveness, and quality of life for combining Abemaciclib with either an Aromatase Inhibitor or Fulvestrant in women with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer. This includes both premenopausal and postmenopausal patients receiving first-line treatment. The trial also explores biomarker research to understand responses and resistance to this combined endocrine therapy. Participants receive Abemaciclib 150 mg orally every 12 hours along with either an Aromatase Inhibitor (Anastrozole, Letrozole, or Exemestane) taken once daily in 28-day cycles, or Fulvestrant given by injection on days 1 and 15 of the first cycle, then on day 1 of subsequent 28-day cycles. Side effects and patient-reported outcomes are monitored using the CANKADO digital health app, allowing daily tracking alongside standard clinical documentation. During the study, patients regularly report symptoms and side effects through the app, and undergo laboratory tests, imaging, and clinical assessments to monitor disease progression and treatment safety. The main outcome measured is progression-free survival over up to 48 months. Safety and quality of life are also closely observed throughout the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating the patient-reported outcomes, real-world efficacy, and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in patients with HER2-positive, HER2-low, or HER2-ultralow unresectable or metastatic breast cancer receiving treatment according to the approved product guidelines in routine clinical practice in Germany. This prospective, non-interventional, multicenter study includes approximately 800 patients divided equally into HER2-positive and HER2-low/ultralow groups. Patients will also be informed about the use of a digital healthcare application (DiGA). Eligible patients must be receiving T-DXd as part of their routine care, with all diagnostic tests and treatment visits determined by their treating physicians and not by the study protocol. The study observes patients treated with T-DXd in line with the applicable summary of product characteristics. Treatment decisions, including visit frequency and procedures, follow standard clinical practice rather than study-mandated schedules. Participants will be followed to monitor the time from the first dose of T-DXd until the start of the next treatment or death, assessed for up to 60 months. Data collection will include patient-reported outcomes, safety information, and real-world clinical data. The study aims to gather comprehensive information on treatment effects and patient experiences during routine care without altering their treatment plan.
