Comparing 3 approaches for breast cancer
Official title: A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Inavolisib Plus Fulvestrant Compared With Alpelisib Plus Fulvestrant in Participants With HR-Positive, HER2-Negative, PIK3CA Mutated, Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Post CDK4/6i and Endocrine Combination Therapy
A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Inavolisib Plus Fulvestrant Versus Alpelisib Plus Fulvestrant in Patients With Hormone Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative, PIK3CA Mutated, Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Who Progressed During or After CDK4/6 Inhibitor and Endocrine Combination Therapy
Interventions
Inavolisib
Participants will be administered a 9 milligram (mg) inavolisib tablet orally once a day (PO QD) on Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle of main study and sub-study.

Alpelisib
Alpelisib will be administered to participants at the approved dose in combination with fulvestrant: 300 mg taken PO QD and on days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle.
Bupropion
Participants will be administered bupropion PO on Day -3 and Day 12 of Cycle 1 of the sub-study.
Omeprazole
