The next prescribed dose should be taken at the usual time. If the patient vomits after taking the dose or misses a dose, no additional dose should be taken that day. Patients should take their dose of Kisqali and letrozole at approximately the same time each day, preferably in the morning. For dosing and administration with other aromatase inhibitors refer to the applicable full prescribing information. Refer to the full prescribing information of letrozole. Co-administer Kisqali with letrozole 2.5 mg taken once daily throughout the 28-day cycle. Kisqali can be taken with or without food. Kisqali is supplied as a tablet for oral administration. The recommended dose of Kisqali is 600 mg (three 200 mg film-coated tablets) taken orally, once daily, for 21 consecutive days followed by seven days off treatment resulting in a complete cycle of 28 days. Side EffectsĪdverse effects associated with the use of Kisqali may include, but are not limited to, the following: In studies using patient-derived estrogen receptor positive breast cancer xenograft models, combination of ribociclib and antiestrogen (e.g., letrozole) resulted in increased tumor growth inhibition compared to each drug alone. In vivo, treatment with single agent ribociclib in a rat xenograft model with human tumor cells led to decreased tumor volumes, which correlated with inhibition of pRb phosphorylation. In vitro, ribociclib decreased pRb phosphorylation leading to arrest in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and reduced cell proliferation in breast cancer cell lines. The cyclin D-CDK4/6 complex regulates cell- cycle progression through phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (pRb). These kinases are activated upon binding to Dcyclins and play a crucial role in signaling pathways which lead to cell cycle progression and cellular proliferation.
Kisqali (ribociclib) is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6. Kisqali is specifically indicated in combination with an aromatase inhibitor as initial endocrine-based therapy for the treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Kisqali (ribociclib) is a kinase inhibitor.
