Description:
The purpose of this study is to determine if ribociclib in combination with letrozole for 24
weeks as neoadjuvant endocrine therapy increases the proportion of women with Pre-operative
Endocrine Prognostic Index (PEPI) score of 0 at surgery compared to patients treated with
letrozole alone therefore allowing more patients excellent outcomes without chemotherapy.

Letrozole | Femara, CGS 20267, LTZ | Placebo + Letrozole |

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine if ribociclib in combination with letrozole for 24
weeks as neoadjuvant endocrine therapy increases the proportion of women with Pre-operative
Endocrine Prognostic Index (PEPI) score of 0 at surgery compared to patients treated with
letrozole alone therefore allowing more patients excellent outcomes without chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
Subjects will be randomized (1:1:1) to either letrozole plus placebo vs. letrozole plus
continuous dosing of ribociclib vs. letrozole plus intermittent dosing
(3-weeks-on/1-week-off) of ribociclib.
The difference in clinical, pathologic and radiologic response as well as Pre-operative
Endocrine Prognostic Index (PEPI) scores across the three treatments arms will be examined.
Subjects will also be followed for 5 years post-treatment to determine if ribociclib in
combination with letrozole for 24 weeks results in improved 5 year Relapse Free Survival
(RFS) compared to letrozole alone.

Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Rate of Pre-operative Endocrine Prognostic Index (PEPI) score 0 at surgery between ribociclib containing arms (combined) vs letrozole alone arm |
Time Frame: | At Surgery (22 weeks) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Rate of complete cell cycle arrest at 2 weeks between ribociclib containing arms (combined) vs letrozole alone arm: Complete cell cycle arrest is defined as Ki67 at day 14 of < 2.7% |
Time Frame: | Day 14 of Cycle 1 |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | |
Measure: | Pathologic complete response rate (pCR rate): pCR rate is defined as the proportion of patients with no histologic evidence of invasive tumor cells in the surgical breast specimen and the axillary lymph nodes |
Time Frame: | At Surgery (Days 8-15 of Cycle 6) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | |
Measure: | Clinical complete response rate (cCR rate): cCR rate is defined as the proportion of patients with no residual tumor by clinical exam |
Time Frame: | Post-surgery (Once in the first 4 weeks of post-op, then once every 6 months for 5 years post-op) |
Safety Issue: | |
