Progression-Free Survival (PFS) at Phase 2 - Investigator Assessment

PFS was defined as the time from randomization (or the first dose of study treatment for non-randomized studies) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PFS calculated as (Weeks or Months) = (first event date minus randomization or the first dose date plus 1) divided by 7 (or 30.44 if in months). PFS is usually characterized by the median, 25% percentile,75% percentile and their 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs).

Time frame: From randomization date to date of first documentation of progression or death (assessed up to 41 months)

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) was used. This represented all randomized participants from Ph2P1 or Ph2P2 or Ph2P1+Ph2P2, where participants were classified according to the randomized treatment regardless of what treatment, if any, was received.

Change From Baseline in Modified Brief Pain Inventory in Pain Interference Scale (mBPI-sf) Questionnaire at Phase 2

The mBPI-sf is a validated and reliable self-report questionnaire which consists of 13 questions that assess the severity and impact of pain on daily function. The 13 items of the questionnaire make up two scales and two single items. The scales include the 4-item Pain Severity Scale (worst pain, least pain, average pain, and pain right now) and the 7-item Pain Interference Scale (general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life). Each item of the pain severity and pain interference scales are based on a 11-point numeric rating scale from 0 (no pain or does not interfere) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine or completely interferes).

Time frame: Baseline, End of treatment (approximately 41 months)

Population: Patient reported outcome evaluable participants included participants who had received at least 1 dose of study medication, had baseline data, and at least one post-baseline measurement.

Duration of Response at Phase 2 - Investigator Assessment

Time in weeks, (months or years) from randomization or (start of study treatment for non-randomized studies) to first documentation of objective tumor progression. TTP was calculated as (first event date or last known progression-free date minus the date of randomization \[or first dose of study medication for non-randomized studies\] plus 1) divided by 7 or 30.44 if in months. Tumor progression was determined from oncologic assessment data (where data meet the criteria for progressive disease \[PD\] per RECIST).

Time frame: From randomization up to the end of treatment (approximately 41 months)

Population: A subset of ITT population i.e., participants who had response was used for this analysis.

Number of Participants With Increase From Baseline in Corrected QT (QTc) Interval at Phase 1

Triplicate 12-lead ECG measurements (each recording separated by approximately 2 minutes) were performed and average was calculated. The time corresponding to beginning of depolarization to repolarization of the ventricles (QT interval) was adjusted for RR interval using QT and RR from each ECG by Fridericia's formula (QTcF = QT divided by cube root of RR), by Bazette's formula (QTcB = QT divided by square root of RR) and corrected QT interval according to study-specific criteria (QTcS). Participants with maximum increase from baseline of 30 to less than (\<) 60 msec(borderline) and greater than or equal to (\>=) 60 msec (prolonged) were summarized.

Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 prior to dosing, Cycle 1 Day 14 (2, 4 [prior to meal], 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours after dosing of Palbociclib), Cycle 2 Day 1 and Day 14 (prior to and 4 hours after dosing of letrozole)

Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events at Phase 2

AE: any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug. AEs included both serious and non-serious adverse events. SAE: AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment emergent AEs: events occurred between first dose of study drug and up to 28 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. Treatment related AEs: all AEs with causality related to treatment. Relatedness to drug was assessed by the investigator. AEs were graded according to the CTCAE version 3.0 and coded using the MedDRA. Number of participants with AE of grade 3 or 4 and with AE of grade 5 were reported as Grade 3: Severe, Grade 4: Life threatening, Grade 5: Death related to AE.

Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days after last dose of study drug (for a maximum of 86 months)

Population: All treated as treated set included all treated participants classified by the treatment actually received.

Time to Tumor Progression (TTP) at Phase 2-Investigator Assessment

Time in weeks, (months or years) from randomization or (start of study treatment for non-randomized studies) to first documentation of objective tumor progression. TTP was calculated as (first event date or last known progression-free date minus the date of randomization \[or first dose of study medication for non-randomized studies\] plus 1) divided by 7 or 30.44 if in months. Tumor progression was determined from oncologic assessment data (where data meet the criteria for progressive disease \[PD\] per RECIST).

Time frame: From randomization up to the end of treatment (approximately 41 months)

Population: ITT was used. This represented all randomized participants from Ph2P1or Ph2P2 or Ph2P1+Ph2P2, where participants were classified according to the randomized treatment regardless of what treatment, if any, was received.
