The role of ribociclib in the adjuvant setting was established through this study.  

What is the NATALEE study?

Eligible patients include women, regardless of menopausal status, and men aged ⩾18 years. Select patients with stage IIA, stage IIB, or stage III disease were eligible. Patients underwent 1:1 randomization to Ribociclib 400 mg/day (3 weeks on/1 week off) + ET (letrozole 2.5 mg/day or anastrozole 1 mg/day [investigator’s discretion] plus goserelin [men or premenopausal women]) or ET alone. Ribociclib treatment duration is 36 months. ET treatment duration was for ⩾ 60 months. The primary end point is invasive disease-free survival. Data shows that the 3-year iDFS rate was 90.4% with Ribociclib plus endocrine therapy vs 87.1% with endocrine therapy alone.
