Treatment Summary

Ribociclib is a medication used to slow the growth of cancer cells. It works by targeting proteins called cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) which control how fast cancer cells divide. By blocking these proteins, ribociclib helps prevent cancer cells from reproducing uncontrollably and spreading. The drug was approved by the FDA in 2017 and is known by the brand name Kisqali.

Effectiveness

How Kisqali works in the body

Ribociclib is a drug used to treat cancer by blocking a specific type of enzyme found in some types of tumors. This enzyme, called cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6), helps the tumor to grow. Ribociclib is able to stop this enzyme from working, which prevents the growth of the tumor. It also prevents the tumor cells from reproducing, which helps to keep the tumor from spreading.

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the drug Kisqali used for?

"KISQALI® is a prescription medicine that is used to treat adults with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer. The cancer must have gotten worse or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) in order for KISQALI® to be prescribed. It is usually taken in combination with an aromatase inhibitor as the first hormonal based therapy for postmenopausal women or with fulvestrant."

Answered by AI

Is Kisqali a chemotherapy?

"KISQALI is not a chemotherapeutic drug, but a targeted therapy that inhibits substances that contribute to cancer cell growth. Targeted therapies can harm both cancerous and healthy cells."

Answered by AI

How much longer do you live on Kisqali?

"The median overall survival rate for those taking KISQALI was not reached at the 39 month check-in, as opposed to the 40 months check-in for those taking placebo. Results at the 56-month observational check-in showed that the median overall survival rate for those taking KISQALI in combination with fulvestrant was 53.7 months, as opposed to 41.5 months for those taking placebo and fulvestrant."

Protein and Exercise for Postmenopausal Women

Any Age
Female
Fayetteville, AR

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if consuming a higher protein diet that includes one serving of beef each day, in combination with resistance exercise, improves wellbeing in postmenopausal women. It will also tell us about how higher protein intake changes body composition and blood values related to health. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does higher protein intake combined with resistance training improve mood and sleep in postmenopausal women? * What other health benefits to postmenopausal women experience when the follow a higher protein diet and participate in resistance exercise? Researchers will compare three groups 1) postmenopausal women living their daily lives as usual, 2) postmenopausal women consuming a higher protein diet, and 2) postmenopausal women consuming a higher protein diet and participating in resistance training. Participants will: * Consume a higher protein diet for 16 weeks * Participate in an at-home resistance training for 16 weeks * Keep a diary of their food intake, sleep habits, and mood * Have health assessments every 4 weeks

GLYLO Supplement for Postmenopausal Aging

45 - 65
Female
Novato, CA

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of GLYLO, a dietary supplement, in postmenopausal women aged 45 to 65 who are overweight or obese and have elevated HbA1c levels. Specifically, the study seeks to evaluate whether GLYLO can reduce advanced glycation end products (AGEs) levels, which are harmful compounds formed when sugar attaches to proteins or fats in the body and can contribute to aging and disease. The primary outcome of the study is to determine if GLYLO reduces AGEs, enhances metabolic and hormonal health, and mitigates age-related functional decline. This study includes one screening visit and three testing visits over a 6-month period. After eligibility is confirmed, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups to take either GLYLO (two capsules daily) or a placebo at home for 24 weeks. Participants will provide blood samples at every visit. During the three testing visits, they will complete physical performance and cognitive function tests, provide both blood and urine samples, and fill out quality of life and 24-hour dietary intake questionnaires. The dietary intake questionnaires will be completed only twice i.e. at the baseline visit and again at the final 6-month visit.

Combination Therapy for Breast Cancer

18 - No maximum age
All Sexes
Plantation, FL

This is an open-label, phase I/II double arm study of the SV-BR-1-GM regimen in combination with retifanlimab in patients with metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer who have failed standard therapy. Patients will receive the SV-BR-1-GM regimen with combination immunotherapy. There will be an initial evaluation of the combination of the SV-BR-1-GM regimen with retifanlimab every 3 weeks. If this is found to be safe and well tolerated in a cohort of at least 12 patients (dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in less than 30% of the patients evaluated), then an expansion cohort of up to 24 patients will be treated with that combination. These will be randomized to two regimens differing in the timing of checkpoint inhibitor administration.
