Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is a multicenter, Phase 1b-2 study of elacestrant in combination with onapristone in patients with advanced/metastatic ER+/PgR+/HER2- breast cancer.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Breast Cancer	Drug: Elacestrant; Drug: Onapristone	Phase 1; Phase 2

Detailed Description:
