A Study to Understand About the Study Medicine Palbociclib in Breast Cancer Patients After it is Out in the Japanese Market

July 8, 2026 updated by: Pfizer

Ibrance® Post-Marketing Database Study Incidence of Interstitial Lung Disease in Inoperable or Recurrent Breast Cancer Patients Treated With Palbociclib in a Post-marketing Setting: Cohort Study Using the Medical Data Vision (MDV) Database

The purpose of the study is to:

  • compare the chances of getting interstitial lung disease (ILD) in new users of palbociclib plus fulvestrant to new users of fulvestrant alone (using data from before palbociclib was out in the market)
  • look into the factors that can cause ILD in new users of palbociclib.

This study uses patient data without giving out any personal information of the patient. This data is taken from a hospital-based claims database of the MDV database, that includes data from more than 400 hospitals in Japan.

This study will use data of patients who are:

  • diagnosed with breast cancer that include newly treated with palbociclib and/or other endocrine-based therapies for inoperable or recurrent breast cancer between 25 November 2011 and 30 November 2024.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
The hazard ratios of ILD in palbociclib plus fulvestrant to new users of fulvestrant alone
Time Frame: 25 November 2011 and 30 September 2024
25 November 2011 and 30 September 2024
The rate ratios of ILD in palbociclib plus fulvestrant to new users of fulvestrant alone
Time Frame: 25 November 2011 and 30 September 2024
25 November 2011 and 30 September 2024
The rate differences of ILD in palbociclib plus fulvestrant to new users of fulvestrant alone

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
