This non-interventional study (NIS) aims to evaluate effectiveness, persistence, treatment patterns, adverse events (AEs), and patient-reported experience (including adherence, treatment satisfaction, health-related quality of life [HRQoL], work productivity, and etc.), among HR+/HER2- stage II and III eBC patients treated with ribociclib + ET, and to evaluate AEs and patients-reported experience among HR+/HER2- stage II and III eBC patients treated with abemaciclib + ET, as per local label.
This will be a multi-center, multi-country, observational, non-interventional, hybrid study among HR+/HER2- stage II or III eBC patients treated with ribociclib + ET or abemaciclib + ET, as per local label in routine clinical care settings.
The study will include a retrospective and a prospective part. The hybrid design will combine retrospective data extraction from patients' EHRs and prospective data collection from validated PRO questionnaires, bespoke questions, and qualitative interviews, to provide comprehensive data on the patient population.
The exploratory objectives will assess HR+/HER2- stage II and III eBC patients treated with abemaciclib + ET. No formal comparison between the cohorts will be made

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) | iDFS is defined as time to first invasive breast cancer recurrence (ipsilateral, contralateral, local/regional, distant), new primary invasive cancer, or death from breast cancer, non-breast cancer or unknown cause. | 36 months |
| Distant disease-free survival (DDFS) | Distant disease-free survival (DDFS) is defined as time to first distant recurrence, second primary invasive cancer, or death from breast cancer, non-breast cancer or unknown cause. This will be assessed based on STEEP criteria version 2.0 (Standardized Definitions for Efficacy End Points in Adjuvant Breast Cancer Trials) and collected retrospectively from patient chart. | 36 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Adherence to ribociclib + ET assessed using the MARS-5 tool | The MARS-5 (Medication Adherence Report Scale) is a 5 item questionnaire designed to assess patient adherence to treatment. Score is ranging from 1 (always) to 5 (never) for each item. The total score ranges from 5 to 25, where a higher MARS-5 score indicates higher adherence. One item assesses unintentional non-adherence, and four items assess intentional non-adherence. |

| Up to approximately 36 months |
| Adherence to ribociclib + ET assessed using bespoke questions. | 6 bespoke questions as to adherence have been added to capture key behavior patterns (ie, use of other products, cost, schedule, time, access to medication and convenience). Score is ranging from 1 (always) to 5 (never) for each item. | Up to approximately 36 months |
| Treatment satisfaction with ribociclib + ET assessed using bespoke questions. | Treatment satisfaction will be assessed using 8 bespoke questions, focusing on key domains such as expectations, feelings about side effects, management of side effects, and overall satisfaction. Responses are scored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging 1 (always) to 5 (never) depending on satisfaction level. | Up to approximately 36 months |
| Changes in Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) with ribociclib + ET assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30. | Health related quality of life will be assessed with the EORTC QLQ c30, which was designed to measure psychical, social, emotional, cognitive functions, symptom and health status in individuals with cancer. Item 1-28 are scored on a 4 point Liker t scale (1 + not at all, to 4 + very much). Item 29 and 30 are scored on a 7 point numerical rating scale (from 1 + very poor to 7 + Excellent). Raw scored are transformed and standardized with scores ranging from 0 to 100. A higher score represents either a better functioning, a higher level of Quality of life or a worse (higher) level of symptomatology. | Up to approximately 36 months |
| Changes in Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) with ribociclib + ET assessed using EORTC QLQ-BR42. | The EORTC QLQ BR42 is a specific breast cancer questionnaire to be used in conjunction with the EORTC QLQ c30. Items were designed to measure treatment side effect, symptoms, body image sexual functioning, breast satisfaction, future perspective, sexual enjoyment and weight gain. All items are scored on a 4-point Likert scale (from 1 = Not at all, to 4 = Very much). Items and domains are transformed and scores range between 0-100. Higher scores represent higher (better) functioning or higher levels (worse) symptomatology . | Up to approximately 36 months |
| Changes in Long Term Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) with ribociclib + ET assessed using bespoke questions. | Health related quality of life assessed using bespoke questions to evaluate long term quality of life. Three bespoke questions were designed to measure long term QoL. The questions will be scored individually from 1 (Always) to 5 (Never), scores will be reversed as needed. There are also 2 bespoke questions to assess the impact on cognitive functions, both are scored individually from 1 (Always) to 5 (Never) with higher score indicating better cognitive functions. | Up to approximately 36 months |
| Work productivity measured using WPAI | This is assessed using the WPAI tool, focusing on key aspects such as absenteeism, presenteeism, work productivity loss, activity impairment, and long-term impact of side effects on work activity. This questionnaire has 6 questions, which are used to calculate 4 types of scores, which are absenteeism (work time missed), presenteeism (impairment at work/reduced on the job effectiveness), work productivity loss (overall work impairment), and activity impairment. The scores are expressed in percentage with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity. | Up to approximately 36 months |
