Novartis to present new data across oncology portfolio including Kisqali Phase III NATALEE trial in early breast cancer at ASCO

Novartis will present new data from its oncology portfolio at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, including advancements in breast cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer from more than 40 Novartis-sponsored and investigator-led trials. Primary results from the NATALEE trial evaluating Kisqali® (ribociclib) plus endocrine therapy in patients with stage II and stage III hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) early breast cancer at risk of cancer recurrence, regardless of nodal involvement, will be presented.

“We look forward to sharing the primary analysis from the Phase III NATALEE trial of Kisqali in the investigational setting in a broad population of patients with early-stage breast cancer at ASCO,” said Shreeram Aradhye, M.D., President, Global Drug Development and Chief Medical Officer, Novartis. “These promising data, together with other key updates, illustrate how we continue to advance our pipeline in oncology, with the potential to help address the significant unmet needs of patients living with cancer.”
