Results from the Phase III MONALEESA-7 trial were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and will be published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

The study evaluated the combination as initial treatment, compared to endocrine therapy alone, in certain people with (HR+/HER2-) advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
