• characterize the effects, if any, of PF-0461502 combined with letrozole on QTc interval.
• explore preliminary anti-tumor activity of PF-04691502 combined with letrozole
Phase 2: • To evaluate the overall safety profile of the 2 regimens.
• explore tumor response in patients treated with the 2 regimens.
• evaluate the PK of PF-0461502 when given alone and in combination with letrozole.
