- They face a worse prognosis and more aggressive cancer than postmenopausal women1,2
- Quality of life can be a challenge to maintain3
Extend the moment for premenopausal women with HR+/HER2− aBC
KISQALI + ET* is the only CDK4/6i to show statistically significant improvements in OS in three phase III trials4–7

*KISQALI is not recommended to be used in combination with tamoxifen.8
KISQALI is indicated for the treatment of women with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer in combination with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant as initial endocrine-based therapy, or in women who have received prior endocrine therapy. In pre- or perimenopausal women, the endocrine therapy should be combined with a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist.8

KISQALI + ET* (along with other CDK4/6 inhibitors) is recognised by ESMO as a standard of care for aBC patients9–12

KISQALI + ET* in premenopausal women with HR+/HER2− aBC is the only CDK4/6 inhibitor recognised by ASCO Clinical Cancer Advances 202013
MONALEESA-7: N=672, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 1:1 randomisation phase III trial in premenopausal women with HR+/HER2− aBC. As 1L in advanced disease and in patients who received 1 or fewer lines of chemotherapy for aBC. KISQALI 600 mg or placebo orally once daily (3 weeks on/1 week off) + AI (letrozole 2.5 mg or anastrozole 1 mg) or tamoxifen 20 mg orally once daily continuously + LHRH agonist (goserelin 3.6 mg subcutaneously on day 1 of every cycle).4,7
1L, first line; aBC, advanced breast cancer; AI, aromatase inhibitor; ASCO, American Society of Clinical Oncology; CDK4/6, cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6; ESMO, European Society for Medical Oncology; ET, endocrine therapy; HR+/HER2−, hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative; LHRH, luteinising hormone-releasing hormone; NSAI, non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor; OS, overall survival; QoL, quality of life.
