💬In plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of patient education and patient typology-based coaching on therapy persistence in breast cancer patients taking ribociclib. Researchers will compare the time to permanent treatment discontinuation of patients receiving personalized coaching to the time to permanent treatment discontinuation of patients who only receive standard of care education and counselling, to see if adherence to treatment can be improved by personalized patient coaching.

* Patients with active bacterial infections (requiring IV antibiotics at time of initiating study treatment), fungal infections, or detectable viral infections (e.g., known human immunodeficiency virus positivity or known active hepatitis B or C, such as hepatitis B surface antigen-positive\]).
* Patients with a personal history in the past 5 years of any of the following conditions: syncope of cardiovascular etiology, ventricular arrhythmia of pathological origin (including, but not limited to, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation), or sudden cardiac arrest.
