Summary

This trial is to see if continuing treatment with palbociclib and adding fulvestrant helps people with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer who have progressed on palbociclib and an aromatase inhibitor.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women with metastatic or advanced breast cancer that worsened after at least 6 months of palbociclib and an aromatase inhibitor. They must have had no more than one chemotherapy for advanced disease, no prior fulvestrant or certain other treatments, and should be in a stable condition if they've had brain metastasis or recent radiation.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of continuing palbociclib alongside fulvestrant after initial progression on palbociclib with an aromatase inhibitor. It aims to understand if this combination can further help control the disease.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include low blood counts leading to increased infection risk, fatigue, nausea, hair thinning, neuropathy (nerve pain), and potential allergic reactions to medication components.
