Summary

This trial is testing whether a new combination therapy is better than the current standard of care for treating a certain type of breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that can't be treated with surgery or radiation. Participants must have been on CDK4/6 inhibitors and aromatase inhibitors for at least 6 months without worsening of their cancer and have a detectable ESR1 mutation. They should be able to perform daily activities and not have severe heart disease, certain CNS metastases, uncontrolled diseases, or previous treatment with AZD9833.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of AZD9833 combined with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, abemaciclib or ribociclib) against standard treatments using an aromatase inhibitor (anastrozole or letrozole) plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor in patients whose breast cancer has an ESR1 mutation.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include issues related to organ function such as liver or kidney problems, blood disorders like low white cell counts increasing infection risk, fatigue, nausea, hair loss from chemotherapy drugs involved in the trial regimen.
