Ribociclib vs. Palbociclib in Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer Within the HER2-Enriched Intrinsic Subtype
NCT05207709 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
HARMONIA is an international, multicenter, randomized, open-label and phase III study. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the combination of ribociclib with endocrine therapy (letrozole or fulvestrant) is superior to palbociclib with endocrine therapy (letrozole or fulvestrant) in prolonging progression-free survival in patients with advanced HR+/HER2- and HER2-E breast cancer. The study will enroll approximately 456 patients with HER2-E disease from approximately 95 sites worldwide. In addition, the HARMONIA trial will include an exploratory cohort of patients with HR+/HER2- and Basal-like disease treated with paclitaxel +/- Tislelizumab. This cohort does not have a predefined sample size and the objective is only exploratory, given the suggested lack of efficacy of the combinations of hormone therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors in this subgroup of patients. Enrolment into the basal-like cohort will stop once the HER2-E disease cohort is fully enrolled.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05207709
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05207709 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 3, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 456 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is SOLTI Breast Cancer Research Group, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Metastatic Breast Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Ribociclib + Letrozole OR Fulvestrant is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05207709 reports 20 study locations spanning 13 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Florida, Illinois, New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
