- Progression Free Survival (PFS) in the ESR1-mut subjects [ Time Frame: From Date of Randomization until Disease Progression or Death Due to Any Cause (up to 12 Months) ]Progression Free Survival (PFS) based on blinded IRC assessment in the ESR1-mut subjects
- PFS in all (ESR1-mut and ESR1-WT) subjects [ Time Frame: From Date of Randomization until Disease Progression or Death Due to Any Cause (up to 12 Months) ]PFS based on blinded Imaging Review Committee (IRC) assessment in all (ESR1-mut and ESR1-WT) subjects

- Subjects may have received no more than one line of chemotherapy in the advanced/metastatic setting.
- Subjects must have ctDNA ESR1-mut or ESR1-WT status as determined by central testing with Guardant360CDx® before subject is randomized.
Critical Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior treatment with elacestrant, GDC-0810, GDC-0927, GDC-9545, LSZ102, AZD9496, bazedoxifene, or other investigational SERD or investigational ER antagonist.
-
Prior anticancer or investigational drug treatment within the following windows:
- Fulvestrant treatment < 28 days before first dose of study drug
- Any endocrine therapy < 14 days before first dose of study drug (with the exception of GnRH agonist therapy in male subjects)
- Chemotherapy < 21 days before first dose of study drug
- Any investigational anti-cancer drug therapy < 28 days or five half-lives (whichever is shorter) before the first dose of study drug. Enrollment of subjects whose most recent therapy was an investigational agent should be discussed with the Sponsor
