This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line treatment ribociclib in combination with aromatase inhibitor (AI) or fulvestrant OR capecitabine with bevacizumab OR paclitaxel with / without bevacizumab in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with visceral metastasis.
Half of the patients will receive a combination of ribociclib and AI/fulvestrant while the other half will receive capecitabine + bevacizumab or paclitaxel +/- bevacizumab.
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, two-arm, multicenter, interventional phase III trial in Germany. The study will include adult women with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with visceral metastases, who received no prior therapy for advanced disease.
158 patients will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 (stratified by the presence of lung and / or liver metastases) to receive Arm A: a combination of ribociclib and AI or fulvestrant; OR Arm B: capecitabine + bevacizumab OR paclitaxel +/- bevacizumab
Treatment will be continued until disease progression, intolerable toxicity or death. Progression-free survival (PFS) will be based on tumor assessments by local radiologists/investigator using RECIST v1.1 criteria. Treatment might be continued beyond RECIST-defined progressive disease (PD) in case of negligible or clinically irrelevant disease progression according to the investigator's discretion until clinically relevant disease progression or symptomatic deterioration.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
HER2 is a protein, made from the ERBB2 gene, that drives the growth of some cancers. A study may look for a level of the protein, extra copies of the gene, or a particular change in it.
In breast cancer, protein tests are read as HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-negative; other cancers use their own rules. Check which test result the study requires.
The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.
“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.
Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Ran from May 2018 to primary completion in Nov 2021, 42 months.
Of 272 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 40 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 28 and three quarters within 63. This study's 42 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 600 studies reached it within 59 months; a quarter within 36 and three quarters within 96.
