ELACESTRANT in Women and Men With CDK4/6 Inhibitor-Naive Estrogen Receptor Positive, HER-2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer Study

1. Patient has signed the informed consent before all study specific activities are conducted.

2. Women or men aged ≥18 years (or the minimum age of consent as per local law), at the time of informed consent signature. Female patients may be either postmenopausal or premenopausal/perimenopausal.

   1. Premenopausal or perimenopausal women and men must be concurrently given a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist starting at least 4 weeks before the start of trial therapy and is planning to continue LHRH during the study.
   2. For perimenopausal women to be considered of non-childbearing potential, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels must be >40 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL).
3. Documentation of histopathologically or cytologically confirmed ER+, HER2-breast cancer, per local laboratory, as per the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines. Note: In the context of this trial, ER status will be considered positive if ≥10% of tumor cells demonstrate positive nuclear staining by immunohistochemistry.
4. Radiological disease progression during or after the most recent therapy in the advanced/metastatic setting
5. Patient has received at least one (and up to two) prior hormonal therapy in the advanced/metastatic setting.
6. Patients with disease relapse while on adjuvant endocrine therapy after the 2 first years, or with disease relapse within 12 months of completing adjuvant endocrine therapy are allowed (i.e., patients with secondary-resistant breast cancer according to the 5th European School of Oncology (ESO)-European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) international consensus guidelines for advanced breast cancer, Cardoso et al 2020). This therapy will be considered as first line treatment for eligibility purposes.
7. At least one measurable lesion as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 or a mainly lytic bone lesion for bone only disease.
8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.

9. Patient has adequate bone marrow and organ function, as defined by the following laboratory values:

   1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 × 10\^9/liter(L)
   2. Platelets ≥100 × 10\^9/L
   3. Hemoglobin ≥9.0 grams(g)/deciliter(dL)
   4. Potassium, sodium, calcium (corrected for serum albumin) and magnesium, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 grade ≤1. Note: Corrected calcium for serum albumin must be calculated manually by the site using the Payne formula: Corrected calcium (milligrams [mg]/dL) = measured total calcium (mg/dL) + 0.8 (Normal albumin [g/dL] - serum albumin [g/dL]), where normal albumin is usually defaulted to 4.0 g/dL.
   5. Cockcroft-Gault based creatinine clearance ≥50 milliliters per minute (mL/min). Note: Creatinine clearance (male) = ([140-age in years] × weight in kilograms [kg])/ ([serum creatinine in mg/dL] × 72) Creatinine clearance (female) = (0.85 × [140-age in years] × weight in kg)/ ([serum creatinine in mg/dL] × 72)
   6. Serum albumin ≥3.0 g/dL (≥30 g/L)
   7. In absence of liver metastases, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN). If the patient has liver metastases, ALT and AST ≤5 × ULN
   8. If the patient has liver metastases, ALT, and AST ≤5.0 × ULN
   9. Total serum bilirubin \<1.5 × ULN except for patients with Gilbert's syndrome who may be included if the total serum bilirubin is ≤3.0 × ULN or direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN. Note: Laboratory assessments may be repeated during the Screening Phase after supplementation or transfusions (a single red blood cells transfusion is allowed once during the screening period).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Active or newly diagnosed central nervous system (CNS) metastases, including meningeal carcinomatosis.
2. Patients with advanced, symptomatic visceral crisis who are at risk of life-threatening complications in the short term, including massive uncontrolled effusions (peritoneal, pleural, pericardial) and liver involvement of >50%.
3. Prior chemotherapy, elacestrant, or CDK4/6i in the advanced/metastatic setting.
4. Patients with only disease relapse while on the first 2 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy i.e., patients with primary endocrine resistance, are not eligible.
5. Patient has a concurrent malignancy or history of invasive malignancy within 3 years of enrollment, with the exception of basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix that has completed curative treatment.

6. Uncontrolled significant active infections.

   1. Patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have undetectable viral load during screening.
   2. Patients known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)+ are allowed as long as they have undetectable viral load at baseline.
7. Major surgery within 28 days before starting trial therapy.
8. Systemic radiotherapy within 14 days before starting trial therapy, or central nervous system (CNS) radiotherapy within 28 days before starting trial therapy. Inability to take oral medication, refractory or chronic nausea, gastrointestinal condition (including significant gastric or bowel resection), history of malabsorption syndrome, or any other uncontrolled gastrointestinal condition that may impact the absorption of study drug.
9. Known intolerance to elacestrant or any of its excipients.
10. Females of childbearing potential who do not agree to use a highly effective method of contraception and to abstain from donating/freezing ova within 28 days of the first dose of study treatment through 120 days after the last dose of study treatment. Highly effective non-hormonal methods of contraception should be used.
11. Men who do not agree to abstain from donating/freezing sperm, or to use a highly effective method of contraception within 28 days of the first dose of study treatment through 120 days after the last dose of study treatment. For subjects (who have not undergone vasectomy) with female partners of childbearing potential, the subject and his partner must use highly effective methods of contraception.
12. Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Females should not get pregnant during study treatment and for 120 days after last dose of study treatment. Females should not breastfeed during administration of elacestrant and for 1 week after receiving the last dose.

13. Patient is currently receiving or received any of the following medications prior to first dose of trial therapy:

    1. Investigational anti-cancer therapy within 14 days (28 days in case of anticancer antibody-based treatments) or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter.
    2. Fulvestrant treatment (last injection) \<42 days before first dose of study drug.
    3. Any other endocrine therapy \<14 days before first dose of study drug.
