Original Abstract of the Article

Main research findings

Ribociclib has shown promising immunomodulatory effects in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer, according to findings from the RIBECCA trial. 9 Inhibitors of the cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6i) have significantly improved clinical outcomes in patients with advanced HR+ breast cancer and have demonstrated favorable antitumor immune responses in preclinical studies. 9 A network meta-analysis of seven studies involving 5,347 patients showed that CDK4/6 inhibitors, including ribociclib, combined with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) resulted in significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to NSAIDs alone. 11 From a cost-effectiveness perspective, abemaciclib plus NSAI was found to be the most cost-effective option in China. 11 The FDA has approved ribociclib for the treatment of HR+, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer in both male and female patients. 2

Benefits and Risks

Benefits Summary

Ribociclib may offer several benefits for patients with HR+ breast cancer, including: • Improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) • Effective treatment for both male and female patients • Promising immunomodulatory effects

Risks Summary

Ribociclib may also be associated with certain risks, including: • Bone marrow suppression • Gastrointestinal toxicity • Interstitial lung disease (ILD) • Visual hallucinations • QT prolongation

Comparison Across Studies

Commonalities

Multiple studies have consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of ribociclib in treating HR+ breast cancer patients. 9 13 10 Many studies have investigated ribociclib in combination with endocrine therapies such as aromatase inhibitors and fulvestrant. 9 13 10

Differences

Differences among studies include the patient population, the specific type of endocrine therapy used, and the endpoints evaluated. 13 10 For instance, the MONALEESA-2, -3, and -7 trials demonstrated significant improvements in PFS and OS with ribociclib plus endocrine therapy compared to endocrine therapy alone. 10 The COMPLEEMENT-1 trial showed the effectiveness of ribociclib plus endocrine therapy in male patients with HR+ breast cancer. 2

Consistency and Contradictions

Multiple studies have demonstrated that ribociclib offers both efficacy and safety in the treatment of HR+ breast cancer. 9 13 10 However, some studies have indicated the risk of side effects associated with ribociclib use. 7 1 These side effects can be mitigated through appropriate monitoring and management. 7

Real-World Implications

Ribociclib is a promising treatment option for patients with HR+ breast cancer, but it is crucial to be aware of the potential side effects. 7 1 Ribociclib should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. 7

Limitations of Current Research

Current research may not have fully evaluated the long-term effects and side effects associated with ribociclib use. 7 Further research is needed to assess the incidence and severity of side effects associated with ribociclib use. 7

Future Research Directions

Further research is necessary to evaluate the long-term effects and side effects of ribociclib. 7 Research on combination therapies involving ribociclib and other drugs is also required. 7

Conclusion

Ribociclib is a promising treatment option for patients with HR+ breast cancer. 9 13 10 However, it is important to be aware of the potential side effects. 7 1 Ribociclib should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. 7
