Novartis announced results from an updated analysis of the pivotal phase III NATALEE trial of Kisqali (ribociclib) that underscore the extended efficacy beyond the duration of treatment in combination with endocrine therapy. Results showed a sustained reduction in distant recurrence of 28.5% (HR=0.715; 95% CI 0.604-0.847; nominal P<0.0001), compared to ET alone, in patients with stage II and III hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative early breast cancer.
