- description
- 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.

- description
- 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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female or male sex. * Diagnosis (confirmed by clinical review) of A/MBC, defined as breast cancer at stage IIIB, stage IIIC, stage IV or identified as having distant metastasis. * Age ≥18 years at A/MBC diagnosis. * Initiated palbociclib in combination with an AI as first-line therapy after A/MBC diagnosis on or after 03 February 2015 through 31 July 2019. Note that the date of the start of the inclusion period reflects the month of palbociclib US FDA approval. * Evidence of ER or PR positive disease, or absence of any indication of ER and PR negative disease closest to A/MBC diagnosis (ie, patients are eligible without affirmative indication of ER/PR+ status as long as ER/PR- indication is not present). * Evidence of HER2 negative disease, or absence of any indication of HER2 positive disease closest to A/MBC diagnosis (ie, patients are eligible without affirmative indication of HER2- status as long as HER2+ indication is not present). Exclusion Criteria: * Enrollment in an interventional clinical trial for A/MBC during the study observation period. * Evidence of prior treatment with any CDK4/6 inhibitor in the adjuvant setting. * Evidence of another primary cancer within 3 years prior to the initial line containing palbociclib.
