of alopecia are allowed to enter the study). There is no washout period required for
Trastuzumab.
- Participants who have received radiotherapy ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug,

that could potentially lead to reduced activity or enhanced toxicity of the
concomitant medication and/or Ribociclib.

QT prolongation and/or torsades de pointes (TdP), refer to the CredibleMeds® website

- Participants who have any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical
condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, cause unacceptable safety risks,
contraindicate patient participation in the clinical trial or compromise compliance
with the protocol (e.g. chronic pancreatitis, chronic active hepatitis, active
untreated or uncontrolled fungal, bacterial or viral infections, etc.).
- Participants who have had major surgery within 2 weeks prior to starting study drug or
has not recovered from major side effects (tumor biopsy is not considered as major
surgery).
- Participants who have clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or
cardiac repolarization abnormalities including any of the following:
- History of acute coronary syndromes (including myocardial infarction, unstable
angina, coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary angioplasty, or stenting) or
symptomatic pericarditis within 6 months prior to screening
- History of documented congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association
functional classification III-IV)
- Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias (e.g. ventricular tachycardia),
complete left bundle branch block, high-grade AV block (e.g. bifascicular block,
Mobitz type II and third-degree AV block

QT syndrome, or any of the following
- Risk factors for Torsades de Pointe (TdP) including uncorrected hypokalemia
or hypomagnesemia, history of cardiac failure, or history of clinically
significant/symptomatic bradycardia.
- Inability to determine the QT interval on screening (QTcF, using
Fridericia's correction)
- Systolic blood pressure (SBP)>160 mmHg or <90 mmHg at screening
- Known history of HIV-positivity.
- Active Hepatitis B and/or Hepatitis C Infection
- Known impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may
significantly alter the absorption of the study drugs (e.g., uncontrolled ulcerative
diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small
bowel resection).
- Concurrent malignancy or a malignancy within 3 years prior to starting study drug,
with the exception of adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma,
non-melanomatous skin cancer or curatively resected cervical cancer. Participants with
malignancies less than 3 years prior to registration may be considered eligible after
discussion with the principle investigator.
- Participants who are currently receiving or have received systemic corticosteroids ≤2
weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not fully recovered from side effects
of such treatment. The following uses of corticosteroids are permitted: single doses,
topical applications (e.g., for rash), inhaled sprays (e.g., for obstructive airways
diseases), eye drops or local injections (e.g., intra-articular).
- Patient is currently receiving warfarin or other coumarin-derived anticoagulant for
treatment, prophylaxis or otherwise. Therapy with heparin, low molecular weight
heparin (LMWH) or fondaparinux is allowed.
- Participation in a prior investigational study within 30 days prior to enrollment or
within 5 half-lives of the investigational product, whichever is longer.
- Patient with a Child-Pugh score B or C.
- Participants who have a history of non-compliance to medical therapies.
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because Ribociclib has the potential for
teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk
for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with
Ribociclib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with
Ribociclib. These risks also apply to Trasutuzumab used in this study. Pregnancy is
defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of
gestation, confirmed by a postitive hCG laboratory test (>5 mIU/mL).
- Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of
becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception
throughout the study and for 8 weeks after study drug discontinuation. Highly
effective contraception methods include:
- Total abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of
the patient.
- Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without
hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment.
In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has
been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment
- Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female patients on
the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that
patient
- Combination of the two following
- Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)
- Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm or
cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/ vaginal
suppository.
- Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods)
and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception Women are considered
post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have had 12 months of
natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age
appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral
oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago.
In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has
been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child
bearing potential.
- Sexually active males unless they use a condom during intercourse while taking the
drug and for 4 months after stopping treatment and should not father a child in this
period. A condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent
delivery of the drug via seminal fluid.
