Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Data will be abstracted from the medical records of all eligible patients across 17 - 35 selected sites from Arabian Gulf Region countries. The observational period for patients is the 57 month-period prior to the study index date. During this period, patients who initiated treatment with palbociclib between 01st January 2015 and 01st March 2019 will be considered eligible for participation in the study. Sites from diverse health care settings

  3. Patient initiated on palbociclib (regardless the line of therapy) within the period between 01st January 2015 and 01st March 2019.
  4. Minimum of six months of follow up data since palbociclib initiation.
  5. Received palbociclib plus aromatase inhibitor or palbociclib plus fulvestrant in line with the licensed indication(s).

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior or current enrolment in an interventional clinical trial for metastatic/locally advanced BC.
  2. Patients who were initiated on palbociclib after 01st March 2019.
