• Study description:
  Primary Objective:1. Describe patient characteristics and incidence rates for prespecified safety events among all new users of palbociclib. Secondary Objectives:1. Describe patient characteristics and incidence rates for prespecified safety events among all subgroups of new users of palbociclib, and 2. among all subgroups who also meet algorithm-defined advanced stage ER+/HER2- breast cancer.3. Compare the incidence rates for prespecified safety events between concomitant new users of palbociclib with fulvestrant to all new users of fulvestrant alone (identified before 2015), conduct same comparison among those who also meet algorithm defined advanced breast cancer.4. Compare IRs for acute liver injury (ALI) between concomitant new users of palbociclib with fulvestrant to a) new users of fulvestrant alone identified before 2/1/ 2015 (historical controls) and b) after 2/1/2015 (contemporaneous controls).5. Adjudicate all potential cases of ALI through medical record review.6. Repeat comparative analyses for ALI using only confirmed cases adjusted for outcomeaccuracy.
