Brief Summary:
The main purpose of this study is to measure how well imlunestrant works compared to standard hormone therapy, and how well imlunestrant with abemaciclib work compared to imlunestrant in participants with breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and human epidermal receptor 2 negative (HER2-). Participants must have breast cancer that is advanced or has spread to another part of the body. Study participation could last up to 5 years.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) in the Intent-to-Treat (IIT) Population [ Time Frame: Randomization to the date of first documented progression of disease or death from any cause (estimated as up to 3 years) ]
    PFS by investigator assessment in the IIT population

  2. PFS in the Estrogen Receptor 1 (ESR1)-mutation Detected Population [ Time Frame: Randomization to the date of first documented progression of disease or death from any cause (estimated as up to 3 years) ]
    PFS by investigator assessment in ESR1-mutation detected population


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) in the IIT Population [ Time Frame: Randomization until death from any cause (estimated as up to 5 years) ]
    OS in the IIT population

  2. OS in the ESR1-mutation Detected Population [ Time Frame: Randomization until death from any cause (estimated as up to 5 years) ]
    OS in the ESR1-mutation detected population

  3. Objective Response Rate (ORR): Percentage of Participants Who Achieve a Confirmed Best Overall Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [ Time Frame: Randomization until measured progressive disease (estimated as up to 1 year) ]
    ORR

  4. Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Date of CR or PR to date of disease progression or death due to any cause (estimated up to 3 years) ]
    DoR

  5. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR): Percentage of Participants Who Achieve a Best Overall Response of CR, PR or Stable Disease for Greater than or Equal to (≥) 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: Randomization until measured progressive disease (estimated as up to 1 year) ]
    CBR

  6. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Randomization to the date of first documented progression of disease or death from any cause(estimated as up to 3 years) ]
    PFS by blinded independent review

  7. Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO): Time to Worsening of "Worst Pain" [ Time Frame: Screening through follow-up (estimated as up to 3 years) ]
    Measured by the Worst Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). NRS is a single item, participant-administered, 11-point horizontal scale anchored at 0 and 10, with 0 representing "no pain" and 10 representing "pain as bad as you can imagine."

  8. Pharmacokinetics (PK): Steady State Plasma Concentrations of Imlunestrant [ Time Frame: Cycle 2 to Cycle 4 (cycle = 28 days) ]
    PK: steady state plasma concentrations of imlunestrant

  9. PK: Steady State Plasma Concentrations of Imlunestrant and Abemaciclib [ Time Frame: Cycle 2 to Cycle 4 (cycle = 28 days) ]
    PK: steady state plasma concentrations of imlunestrant and abemaciclib

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have adequate renal, hematologic, and hepatic organ function
  • Must be able to swallow capsules/tablets

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have received prior treatment with chemotherapy (except for neoadjuvant/ adjuvant chemotherapy), fulvestrant, or any investigational-ER-directed therapy (including SERDs and non-SERDs), any PI3K-, mTOR- or AKT- inhibitor
  • Have visceral crisis, lymphangitic spread within the lung, or any evidence of leptomeningeal disease.
  • Have symptomatic or untreated brain metastasis.
  • Have serious preexisting medical conditions that, in the judgment of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study
