Pooled analysis included overall population of the MONALEESA-3 trial and patients treated with ribociclib/placebo plus an NSAI in the MONALEESA-7.

b

Pooled analysis included overall population of the MONALEESA-2 study, in patients receiving ribociclib or placebo plus fulvestrant as first-line treatment in the MONALEESA-3 trial and in patients treated with ribociclib/placebo plus an NSAI in the MONALEESA-7 trial.
