Primary Objective:
To determine whether Amcenestrant (SAR439859) in combination with palbociclib improvesprogression free survival (PFS) when compared with letrozole in combination with palbociclib in participants with ER+, HER2- advanced breast cancer who have not received any prior systemic anticancer therapies for advanced disease.
Secondary Objective:
- To compare the overall survival in both treatment arms
- To evaluate the objective response rate in both treatment arms
- To evaluate the duration of response in both treatment arms
- To evaluate the clinical benefit rate in both treatment arms
- To evaluate progression-free survival on next line of therapy
- To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of amcenestrant, and palbociclib
- To evaluate health-related quality of life in both treatment arms
- To evaluate the time to first chemotherapy in both treatment arms
- To evaluate safety in both treatment arms

- Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: From randomization date to date of first documentation of progression OR death (up to approximately 4 years) ]Progression-free survival is defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of first documented tumor progression as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) or death (due to any cause), whichever come first.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: From randomization date to date of death (up to approximately 6 years) ]Overall survival is defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of documented death (due to any cause).
- Objective Response Rate [ Time Frame: From randomization date to end of treatment (up to approximately 4 years) ]Objective response rate is defined as the proportion of participants who have a CR or PR, as best overall response determined as per RECIST 1.1, from the date of randomization to the date of until disease progression, death, cutoff date, initiation of post-treatment anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first.
- Duration of Response [ Time Frame: From randomization date to end of treatment (up to approximately 4 years) ]Duration of response is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until progressive disease (PD) as determined as per RECIST 1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Clinical Benefit Rate [ Time Frame: From randomization date to end of treatment (up to approximately 4 years) ]Clinical benefit rate is defined as the proportion of participants who have a confirmed CR, PR, or SD for at least 24 weeks determined as per RECIST 1.1, from the date of randomization until disease progression, death, cutoff date, initiation of post-treatment anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first
- PK parameter: Plasma concentrations [ Time Frame: From randomization date to end of treatment (up to approximately 4 years) ]Plasma concentrations of Amcenestrant and palbociclib.
- Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: From Baseline up to end of study (approximately 6.5 years) ]Incidence of participants with TEAEs, SAEs and laboratory abnormalities according to NCI CTCAE V5
- Time to First Chemotherapy [ Time Frame: From randomization date to end of treatment (up to approximately 4 years) ]Time to chemotherapy is defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the start date of the first chemotherapy after study treatment discontinuation.
- Health state utility and health status will be assessed using the European Quality of Life Group questionnaire with 5 dimensions and 5 levels per dimension (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: From Baseline to 90 days after end of treatment (up to approximately 4 years) ]Change From Baseline between treatment comparison Using the European Quality of Life- 5-Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D 5L).
- Disease-specific HRQL will be assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) core quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: From Baseline to 90 days after end of treatment (up to approximately 4 years) ]Change From Baseline between treatment comparison in Quality of Life Using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30).
- Disease- and treatment-related quality of life will be assessed using the EORTC breast cancer module (QLQ-BR45) questionnaire [ Time Frame: From Baseline to 90 days after end of treatment (up to approximately 4 years) ]Change From Baseline between treatment comparison in Quality of Life Using the EORTC QLQ-BR45 (Breast) Questionnaire.
