Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) activity, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of GDC-9545 as a single agent and in combination with palbociclib and/or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist in participants with advanced or metastatic estrogen receptor (ER)-positive (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 \[HER2\]-negative) breast cancer.

Interventions

DRUGGDC-9545

GDC-9545 will be administered orally, once daily, on Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.

DRUGPalbociclib

Palbociclib will be administered orally, once daily, at the label-recommended dose of 125 mg on Days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.

DRUGLHRH Agonist

The LHRH agonist (leuprolide acetate, goserelin acetate, or triptorelin pamoate) will be administered by injection once every 4 weeks on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle, according to the label. The investigator will choose the appropriate LHRH agonist approved for use in breast cancer.
