Brief summary

This is an international, randomized, open-label, controlled, multicenter phase II clinical trial to investigate and compare the safety and efficacy of palbociclib combined with fulvestrant or letrozole in women with ER+, HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Detailed description

Patients will be stratified by site of disease (visceral vs. non-visceral) and by onset of metastatic disease diagnose (patients metastatic de novo versus non de novo).
