Eligibility Criteria to Collect Optional Correlative Blood and Tissue at Local Recurrence

  • Written informed consent (stage I) and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information obtained prior to performing any study-specific procedures. NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or obtained separately.
  • Male or female age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.
  • Patient has a histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of estrogen-receptor positive and/or progesterone receptor positive breast cancer based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample and all tested by local laboratory.
  • Patient has HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization test or an IHC status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization (FISH, CISH, or SISH) test is required by local laboratory testing and based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample. If there is insufficient tissue from the most recently collected sample, earlier tissue may be used on a case-by-case basis if permission is granted by the sponsor investigator.
  • Patient has locoregional recurrence of breast cancer: locoregional recurrence is defined as invasive recurrence in the ipsilateral breast, axilla, regional nodes, or chest wall.

Inclusion Criteria for Treatment Phase:

Subject must meet all of the following applicable inclusion criteria to participate in this study:

  • Written informed consent (stage II/ main consent) and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information obtained prior to performing any study-specific screening procedures. NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or obtained separately.
  • Male or female age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent. NOTE: Both pre- and post-menopausal women are eligible. Post-menopausal status is defined as:

  • Prior bilateral oophorectomy
  • Age ≥60
  • Age <60 and amenorrhea for the last 12 or more months(in the absence of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, toremifen, or ovarian suppression) and FSH and estradiol in the postmenopausal range per local normal range.
  • ECOG Performance Status of 0-1 within 28 days prior to registration.
  • If patient is receiving tamoxifen or toremifene, a washout period of 5 half-lives (i.e. 35 days) prior to registration is required (during that period the participant can take AI).
  • Patient has a histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of estrogen-receptor positive and/or progesterone receptor positive breast cancer based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample and all tested by local laboratory.
  • Patient has HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization test or an IHC status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization (FISH, CISH, or SISH) test is required by local laboratory testing and based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample. If there is insufficient tissue from the most recently collected sample, earlier tissue may be used on a case-by-case basis if permission is granted by the sponsor investigator.
  • Patients have had adequate local treatment for locoregional recurrence (LRR) of breast cancer.

  • Locoregional recurrence is defined as recurrence in the ipsilateral breast, axilla, regional lymph nodes, or chest wall.
  • Local treatment is defined as either surgery, radiation therapy, or a combination of both if indicated.
  • Adequate local therapy is surgery with negative microscopic margins. Radiation therapy is mandated for patients with microscopically involved margins and recommended for all patients who had not received radiotherapy as part of their primary treatment.
  • Patients who have distant metastatic disease will not be eligible.
  • Prior treatment with neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy and ET is allowed.

Exclusion Criteria for Treatment Phase:

Subjects meeting any of the criteria below may not participate in the study:

  • Patient with a known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of ribociclib.
  • Patient who has received prior CDK4/6 inhibitor for recurrent disease. Patients who received a CDK4/6 inhibitor in the adjuvant setting may participate if they have been off therapy for at least 1 year prior to diagnosis of recurrent disease.
  • Patient has had major surgery within 14 days prior to starting study drug or has not recovered from major side effects.
