Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Sequential Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Dose escalation and expansion, first-in-human study to evaluate safety and tolerability of AZD9833 alone (Parts A and B) or in combination with palbociclib (Parts C and D) or with everolimus (Parts E and F) or with abemaciclib (±anastrozole) (Parts G and H) or with capivasertib (Parts I and J) or with ribociclib (±anastrozole) (Parts K and L) or with anastrozole (Parts M and N) in women with endocrine-resistant ER+ HER2- breast cancer not amenable to curative treatment.
