Who might be able to join this trial:

Group 1 (Cohort 1) — for people with ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer:

  • People who have a general health status rated as fully active or able to carry out light work (ECOG score of 0 or 1)
  • People whose breast cancer tests positive for estrogen receptors (ER+)
  • People for whom hormone-based treatment is recommended and chemotherapy is not recommended at the time of joining, based on national or local treatment guidelines
  • People whose cancer has come back or gotten worse after the most recent treatment for breast cancer, confirmed by imaging
  • People whose cancer got worse during or after one or two hormone therapy treatments for advanced disease, where at least one of those treatments included a CDK4/6 inhibitor taken for at least 8 weeks before the cancer progressed
  • Women who have gone through menopause
  • People with a life expectancy of at least 3 months
  • People who have a tumor tissue sample available that can be used for testing at a central laboratory
  • People who have measurable cancer that can be tracked on scans, according to standard measurement guidelines (RECIST v1.1)
  • People with healthy enough blood counts and organ function (confirm with trial site)
  • People who are on a stable blood-thinning medication regimen, if they require it

Group 2 (Cohort 2) — for people with ER-positive, HER2-positive advanced breast cancer:

  • People with a general health status rated as fully active or able to carry out light work (ECOG score of 0 or 1)
  • People with breast cancer confirmed by biopsy or cell testing that has spread to other parts of the body or cannot be cured by surgery
  • People whose breast cancer tests positive for both estrogen receptors (ER+) and HER2
  • Women who have gone through menopause
  • People with a life expectancy of at least 3 months
  • People willing to provide a tumor tissue sample for central laboratory testing, if one is available
  • People who have previously had hormone therapy for advanced disease, including fulvestrant if it was given more than 28 days before joining the trial (certain other hormone-blocking drugs are not allowed — confirm with trial site)
  • People who have measurable cancer that can be tracked on scans, according to standard measurement guidelines (RECIST v1.1)
  • People whose heart pumping function (left ventricular ejection fraction) is at or above 50%, as measured by a heart scan
  • People with healthy enough blood counts and organ function (confirm with trial site)
  • People who are on a stable blood-thinning medication regimen, if they require it

Group 3 (Cohort 3) — for people with ER-positive advanced breast cancer that got worse during or after adjuvant hormone therapy:

  • People with a general health status rated as fully active or able to carry out light work (ECOG score of 0 or 1)
  • People whose breast cancer tests positive for estrogen receptors (ER+)
  • People for whom hormone-based treatment is recommended and chemotherapy is not recommended at the time of joining, based on national or local treatment guidelines
  • People with breast cancer confirmed by biopsy or cell testing that has spread to other parts of the body or is locally advanced and cannot be treated with surgery or radiation aimed at a cure
  • People whose cancer progressed while on, or within 12 months of finishing, adjuvant hormone therapy (aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen); if a CDK4/6 inhibitor was part of earlier treatment, the cancer progression must have occurred more than 12 months after finishing that CDK4/6 inhibitor
  • Women who have gone through menopause, including women using or starting a hormone-suppressing injection (LHRH agonist) before joining the trial
  • People with a life expectancy of at least 6 months
  • People with healthy enough blood counts and organ function (confirm with trial site)
  • People with measurable cancer that can be tracked on scans, according to standard measurement guidelines (RECIST v1.1)
  • People who have evidence of a specific gene change (PIK3CA mutation) based on prior blood or tissue test results; if prior results are not available, a new blood sample will need to be sent to a central laboratory for testing
