Measurable disease b. Bone-only disease with evaluable lesions. Subjects must have at least 1 lytic or mixed lytic-/blastic bone lesion; blastic- lesions only are not evaluable and allowed. Subjects who have had prior radiation to bone must have at least 1 evaluable lesion in a nonirradiated area ● Female or male age ≥ 18 years of age ● Female subjects must be post-menopausal, defined by 1 of the following criteria: a. Documented bilateral surgical oophorectomy b. Age ≥ 60 years with amenorrhea ≥ 1 year since last menses c. Age < 60 years with amenorrhea ≥ 1 year since last menses with no alternative pathological or physiological cause (including ongoing or recent chemotherapy, treatment with tamoxifen or toremifene, or a GnRH agonist), and serum estradiol and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels within the laboratory reference range for post-menopausal women d. Age < 60 years with tamoxifen or toremifene therapy within the last 12 months, with documentation of 12 months of amenorrhea prior to tamoxifen or toremifene therapy and serum estradiol and FSH levels within the laboratory reference range for post-menopausal women e. Females with hormonally-induced menopause (ie, requiring ongoing hormone suppression) are not eligible ● Male subjects must, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status postvasectomy): a. Agree to practice highly effective barrier contraception (use condoms) during the entire study treatment period and through 120 days after the last dose of study drug. For subjects (who have not undergone vasectomy) with female partners of childbearing potential, the subject and his partner must, in addition to condoms, use highly effective contraceptive measures when engaging in sexual intercourse throughout the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study drug (ie, oral contraceptive and condoms; intrauterine device and condoms; diaphragm with spermicide and condoms; other forms of contraception must be approved by the medical monitor) OR Agree to practice true abstinence during the entire study treatment period and through 120 days after the last dose of study drug Note: Abstinence should only be used as a contraceptive method if it is in line with the subject's usual and preferred lifestyle. Periodic abstinence (calendar symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) is not an acceptable method of contraception. b. Agree not to donate sperm during the course of treatment period or within 120 days after receiving the last dose of the study drug ● Must have ER+ and HER2- tumor status confirmed per local laboratory testing. Status may be confirmed on original diagnosis tissue samples or post-treatment samples (most recent biopsy preferred, if testing available). ● Must have previously received at least 1 and no more than 2 lines of endocrine therapy, either as monotherapy or as a combination therapy with another agent (eg, phosphoinositide 3-kinase [PI3K] inhibitor), for mBC ● Must have progressed during or within 28 days of completion of prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in combination with either fulvestrant or an AI (this counts as a line of prior endocrine therapy) for mBC ● Must have received no more than 1 line of cytotoxic chemotherapy in the advanced/metastatic setting a. Cytotoxic chemotherapy does not include: CDK4/6 inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors, or immunotherapy. There are no restrictions on prior use of these agents b. There is no requirement for documentation of progressive disease to prior chemotherapy c. Chemotherapy given in combination with endocrine therapy counts as both a line of endocrine therapy and a line of chemotherapy d. Chemotherapy administered for less than 1 cycle will not be counted as a prior line of chemotherapy e. For subjects who progress within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy, this will count as 1 prior line of therapy for advanced/metastatic disease ● Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1 ● Resolution of all toxic effects of prior therapies or surgical procedures to Grade ≤ 1 (except alopecia and peripheral neuropathy) ● Adequate organ function as defined below: a. Hematologic function b. Renal function c. Hepatic function d. Chemistry e. Coagulation ● Ability to understand the protocol and provide informed consent
