NATALEE
Regimen
- Experimental
- Ribociclib 400 mg daily (3 weeks on, 1 week off) for 3 years plus standard endocrine therapy (nonsteroidal AI, with goserelin if pre/perimenopausal or male).
- Control
- Standard endocrine therapy alone (nonsteroidal AI plus goserelin as indicated).
Population
Stage II-III HR+/HER2- early breast cancer at risk of recurrence, including broader node-negative high-risk (stage IIA N0 with grade 3, or grade 2 plus Ki-67 >=20% or high-risk genomic score) and all stage IIB/III.
Key finding
NATALEE extended the adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitor benefit to a broader population including selected stage II N0 patients, using a lower 400 mg ribociclib dose for 3 years. FDA approved September 2024 for stage II/III HR+/HER2- at high risk of recurrence. NCCN v2.2026 BINV-16 lists ribociclib as an option for eligible patients; see BINV-K 2 for eligibility.
