Summary

This trial will assess the long-term safety of ribociclib when used in combination with other drugs in participants who have already benefited from the treatment.

What is being tested?
The study tests the long-term safety of continued use of Ribociclib combined with Letrozole, Anastrozole, Goserelin, Tamoxifen, or Fulvestrant in those benefiting from it after completing primary objectives in an earlier Novartis trial.
What are the potential side effects?
Ribociclib may cause low white blood cell counts increasing infection risk, tiredness, nausea, diarrhea and hair loss. Other drugs used alongside may add more side effects like hot flashes or joint pain.
