Elacestrant in Various Combinations in Metastatic Breast Cancer

What is the Purpose of this Study?

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an endocrine therapy drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) called elacestrant is safe and effective when given in combination with one of the following FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of advanced breast cancer: alpelisib, everolimus, palbociclib, abemaciclib, or ribociclib, in patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), metastatic breast cancer. This study has 2 parts. The first part is designed to identify the highest tolerable dose of elacestrant in combination with alpelisib, everolimus, palbociclib, abemaciclib or ribociclib. The goal of the second part of the study is to determine whether elacestrant in combination with alpelisib, everolimus, palbociclib, abemaciclib or ribociclib might be an effective treatment option for ER+ metastatic breast cancer. Although alpelisib, everolimus, palbociclib, abemaciclib or ribociclib are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for certain types of cancer, the combination of elacestrant with either alpelisib, everolimus, palbociclib, abemaciclib or ribociclib is considered investigational.
