Age ≥ 60 years, or 3. Age \< 60 years and either amenorrhea for 12 or more months (in the absence of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, toremifene or ovarian suppression) or Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and plasma estradiol are in the postmenopausal ranges per local normal ranges. 4. If taking tamoxifen or toremifene and age \<60 years, then FSH and plasma estradiol level in postmenopausal ranges. 4.

ER-positive (with tumor cells showing ≥10% ER staining) and HER2-negative according to the most recent ASCO/CAP guidelines. Note: Multifocal and multicentric tumors are allowed if they meet the clinical stage II criteria of the 8th Edition of the AJCC. All tumors must be ER-positive and HER2-negative.

Curative surgery for the invasive disease must have been performed with negative surgical margins within 12 weeks before randomization. If positive surgical margins, patients are eligible if revision surgery or other adequate local treatment (i.e local radiotherapy) is planned. 8.

Patient must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other trial procedures. 14. Absence of any psychological, familial or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial. 15.

Patient has a concurrent invasive malignancy or a prior invasive malignancy whose treatment was completed within 2 years before randomization. Note: Patients with adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma or curatively resected cervical cancer in situ are eligible. 6. Patients whose breast cancer is considered as endocrine therapy insensitive, as determined by investigator's opinion; this may include (but is not limited to) breast cancer classified as " basal like " by molecular signatures (if available in the patient file) and/or breast cancer with persistently high proliferation after pre-operative endocrine therapy. 7. Patient has had major surgery within 14 days prior to study treatment initiation. 8. Patient has known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (testing is not mandatory) whose antiretroviral therapy (ART) has a known strong CYP3A4 inhibitor with potential for DDI with ribociclib. Patients with HIV may be enrolled if they fulfil the criteria recommended by FDA and ASCO guidelines (FDA Guidance, Uldrick et al. 2017): 1. CD4+ T-cell (CD4+) counts ≥ 350 cells/µL, AND 2. No history of AIDS-defining opportunistic infections within the past 12 months (prophylactic antimicrobials allowed if no drug-drug interactions or overlapping toxicities), AND 3.

Patient has any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, cause unacceptable safety risks, contraindicate patient participation in the clinical trial or compromise compliance with the protocol (e.g. chronic pancreatitis, chronic active hepatitis, liver cirrhosis or any other significant liver disease, active untreated or uncontrolled fungal, bacterial or viral infections, active infection requiring systemic anti-bacterial therapy, etc.) or limit life expectancy to ≤5 years. 17. Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) within 30 days prior to randomization or within 5 half-lives of the investigational drug(s) (whichever is longer), or participation in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this trial. If the patient is enrolled or planned to be enrolled in another study that does not involve an investigational drug, the agreement of the sponsor is required to establish eligibility. 18. Inability or unwillingness to swallow oral pills. 19. Presence of malabsorption syndrome or any other condition that could hinder the absorption of study drugs in the gastrointestinal tract. 20.
