The trial’s own eligibility text, word for word from the registry. Only the trial site can say who takes part.
Inclusion
- +Brain metastases are allowed only if the following 4 parameters hold:
- +Pre- or postmenopausal women or men.
- +Locally advanced and/or metastatic ER+ breast cancer with radiological or clinical evidence of progression on an AI in combination with either palbociclib or ribociclib as their first hormonal treatment for metastatic disease.
- +Histological or cytological confirmation of ER+/HER2 - disease
- +No evidence of progression for at least 6 months on an AI/CDKi combination for advanced breast cancer.
- +At least 1 or more ESR1 point mutations in the ESR1 ligand binding domain as assessed in cell- free ctDNA obtained from a blood or breast cancer tissue.
- +Locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with at least 1 measurable (according to RECIST 1.1) lesion with or without non-measurable lesions.
- +Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of 0 or 1
- +Adequate organ function
- +Able to swallow tablets
- +Asymptomatic,
- +Not requiring steroids up to 4 weeks before study treatment initiation, AND
- +Central nervous system disease stable for \>3 months prior to registration as documented by magnetic resonance imagining (MRI).
- +Able to understand and voluntarily sign a written informed consentInformed consentThe process of being told what taking part involves, then choosing freely.Read more → before any screeningScreeningThe checks done before joining, to see whether a study fits.Read more → procedures.
- +Every attempt should be made to obtain a biopsy of metastatic breast cancer tissue, when safe and feasible, to provide histological or cytological confirmation of ER+/HER2- disease as assessed by a local laboratory, according to American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists guidelines, using slides, paraffin blocks, or paraffin samples. If a biopsy is done, it may undergo genomic testing at some point to assess for ESR1 mutations and correlation with ctDNA results. If a biopsy is not possible or inappropriate from a clinical standpoint, the ER and HER2 status from the subject's most recent biopsy must confirm that the subject is ER+ and HER2
- +Subjects may have received 1 cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen in the metastatic disease setting prior to study entry, but must have recovered from chemotherapy acute toxicity excluding alopecia and Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy.
- +Definitively treated (e.g., radiotherapy, surgery),

About This Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the combination of lasofoxifene and abemaciclib compared to fulvestrant and abemaciclib for the treatment of pre- and postmenopausal women and men who have previously received ribociclib or palbociclib-based treatment and have locally advanced or metastatic estrogen receptor positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer with an estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) mutation. The main question the study aims to answer is: • To compare the efficacy of the combination of lasofoxifene and abemaciclib with that of fulvestrant and abemaciclib Participants will receive either receive 5 mg/d of oral lasofoxifene plus oral abemaciclib 150 mg twice a day or the combination of fulvestrant 500 mg intramuscular (IM) on Days 1, 15, and 29 and then once monthly thereafter plus oral abemaciclib 150 mg twice a day.
