Per-arm endpoint measurements with 95% confidence intervals where reported. Source: trial results section.
Percentage of Participants With Treatment Regimen DistributionPrimary· From start of treatment to end of follow-up, up to a maximum of approximately 5 years
Regimen medications were defined as systemic therapies included in line regimen based on synapse line of therapy algorithm. Treatment regimen distribution included: first-line regimen; palbociclib along with aromatase inhibitor and second-line regimen; CDK4/6 inhibitor plus endocrine and chemotherapy. Systemic anticancer treatment here refers to one or more sequential monotherapy or combination therapy regimens occurring within discrete lines of treatment, each ending with a disease progression.

Percentage of Participants With Sequence of Treatment LinesPrimary· From start of treatment to end of follow-up, up to a maximum of approximately 5 years
Line of therapy was defined as line number (1; 2; 3; etc.) in the A/MBC setting assigned based on synapse line of therapy algorithm. Systemic anticancer treatment here refers to one or more sequential monotherapy or combination therapy regimens occurring within discrete lines of treatment, each ending with a disease progression.
