Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer who are receiving or are candidates for first-line treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have received CDK4/6 inhibitors as monotherapy or as adjuvant treatment for localized disease may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
The PALMARES-2 study is a multicenter, observational study that aims to gather real-world evidence on patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer receiving first-line treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy. It will collect data from various sources, including clinical records, medical imaging, and biological samples, to assess overall survival and safety outcomes among different CDK4/6 inhibitors. The study includes multiple sub-studies focusing on real-world data, safety, medical imaging, and translational research to build predictive models. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance understanding of treatment effectiveness and patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the most effective treatment options for patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with similar approaches in evaluating treatment outcomes for advanced breast cancer, indicating that this methodology is both relevant and potentially impactful.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of HR+/HER2- advanced Breast Cancer (aBC), as defined as at least 1% estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PgR) positivity at IHC. HER2 negativity is defined on the basis of an IHC score of 0, 1+, or 2+ with absence of gene amplification at in situ hybridization (ISH) analyses. * Have received or are candidate to receive treatment with palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib in combination with endocrine therapy as first-line treatment for HR+/HER2- aBC. Exclusion Criteria: * Less than 3 months of follow up from the CDK4/6i start to the date of data cut-off; * Have received CDK4/6i as monotherapy; * Have received CDK4/6i as adjuvant treatment for localized disease.
