9. Adequate hematologic, coagulation, hepatic, and renal parameters.
10. Participants must be able to swallow and retain oral medication.

11. Participants must adhere to the following reproductive and contraceptive requirements:

    a. For participants of childbearing potential (POCBP): i. Participant of childbearing potential is defined as an individual who is premenopausal and capable of becoming pregnant, including those using contraception, those who are single, or those with partners who have had a vasectomy.

ii. Participants must not be pregnant or breastfeeding. iii. A negative serum pregnancy test must be obtained at screening within 72 hours before the first dose of the study treatment, and participants must agree to further pregnancy tests throughout the study, if required.

iv. Participants must use at least one highly effective method of contraception combined with a barrier method while on study treatment and for 1 years after the last dose of the study drug.

v. Participants must not donate or freeze eggs for future use related to assisted reproduction while on study treatment and for 1 month after the last dose of the study drug.

b. For participants with partners of childbearing potential: i. If a participant has a partner who could become pregnant, that partner must use a highly effective method of contraception combined with a barrier method while the participant is on study treatment and for 16 weeks after the last dose of the study drug, unless the participant is vasectomized.

ii. Participants must not donate or freeze sperm for future use related to assisted reproduction while on study treatment and for 4 months after the last dose of the study drug.

c. Highly effective methods of contraception include: i. Combined hormonal contraception (estrogen and progestogen) that inhibits ovulation (oral, intravaginal, or transdermal).

ii. Progestogen-only hormonal contraception that inhibits ovulation (oral, injectable, or implantable).

iii. Intrauterine device (IUD). iv. Intrauterine hormone-releasing system. v. Bilateral tubal occlusion. vi. Sexual abstinence (the reliability of abstinence must be evaluated concerning the duration of the clinical study and the participant's lifestyle).

vii. A vasectomized partner (provided the partner is the sole sexual partner of the POCBP study participant and that the vasectomized partner has received medical confirmation of the surgical success).

d. Barrier methods are not considered highly effective and should not be used alone to meet study contraceptive requirements. However, they may be used in addition to a highly effective method for extra protection. These include: i. Male condom. ii. Female condom. iii. Cervical cap. iv. Diaphragm with spermicide. v. Contraceptive sponge with spermicide

Exclusion Criteria:

1. A disease burden that makes the participant ineligible for endocrine therapy per the investigator's best judgment (e.g., symptomatic visceral disease that is potentially life-threatening in the short-term)
2. Malignancies other than breast cancer within five years prior to study treatment initiation (except for appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma or Stage I endometrioid uterine cancer).
3. With the exception of alopecia, any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than CTCAE grade 1 at the time of starting study treatment.
4. Known abnormalities in coagulation such as bleeding diathesis, or treatment anticoagulants precluding intramuscular injections of fulvestrant or LHRH, if applicable.
5. Prior exposure to any chemotherapy or anti-cancer agents other than those specified in the protocol (e.g. hormonal therapy such as LHRH agonists) without appropriate washout period before randomization/enrollment, for example, randomization within 3 half-lives of a small molecule anti-cancer agent, or within 4 weeks for any antibody-based anticancer agents.
6. Concurrent use of herbal or natural products intended as treatment or prophylaxis for any type of cancer.
7. Radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention

9. Strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 or strong/moderate inducers of CYP3A4 within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of capivasertib (3 weeks for St John's wort), Note that adequate washout or dose reduction may be required for some CYP3A substrates with a narrow therapeutic window prior to initiating capivasertib dosing.
10. Any concomitant medication that may interfere with fulvestrant, cetirizine, and loperamide safety and efficacy based on the prescribing information of fulvestrant, cetirizine, and loperamide and local clinical guidelines.

    2. Platelet count \<100 × 109 /L.
    3. Hemoglobin \<9 g/dL (\<5.59 mmol/L). NOTE: any blood transfusion must be >14 days prior to the determination of a haemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (≥5.59 mmol/L).
    4. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) if no demonstrable liver metastases or >5 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases.

    6. Creatinine >1.5 × ULN concurrent with creatinine clearance \<50 mL/min (measured or calculated by Cockcroft and Gault equation); confirmation of creatinine clearance is only required when creatinine is >1.5 × ULN.
15. As judged by the investigator, any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including uncontrolled hypertension, or active infection including hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Participants with HIV that is controlled (not detectable viral load) with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) are eligible to participate. Screening for chronic conditions is not required.
16. Prior treatment with AKT or PI3K inhibitors.
17. History of skin or gastrointestinal disorders that, in the investigator's opinion, gives reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of capivasertib.
