The neoMONARCH trial is a neoadjuvant study evaluating 3 different treatment arms in patients with early-stage, estrogen receptorpositive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Patients are given anastrozole for 2 weeks, abemaciclib for 2 weeks, or the combination of the 2 for 14 weeks. This was a biomarker-driven study in which tumor biopsies were obtained at baseline, as well as after 2 weeks and 14 weeks of therapy, explains Hurvitz.
