| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial  | 
To assess heterogeneity in tumor ER expression  To relate circulating tumor DNA analysis at baseline to all other molecular, imaging and clinical follow-up data Predictive value of change in FDG uptake per lesion (baseline compared to 2 week scan) for response after 8 weeks (measured by CT or FDG PET in case of bone lesions). Per patient analysis of response on CT related to change on FDG PET (baseline-2 weeks) and FES uptake at baseline
