Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: GDC-9545 |
Drug: GDC-9545
GDC-9545 is taken orally once per day on Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle.
Other Names:
Drug: LHRH Agonist Only premenopausal and male participants will receive a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist on Day 1 of each 28-day treatment cycle. The investigator will determine and supply the appropriate LHRH agonist locally approved for use in breast cancer. |
Active Comparator: Physician's Choice of Endocrine Monotherapy
The physician's choice of endocrine monotherapy will be limited to fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor.
|
Drug: Fulvestrant or an Aromatase Inhibitor (Physician's Choice)
Physician's choice of endocrine monotherapy (fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor) is taken in accordance with the local prescribing information for the respective product. Drug: LHRH Agonist Only premenopausal and male participants will receive a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist on Day 1 of each 28-day treatment cycle. The investigator will determine and supply the appropriate LHRH agonist locally approved for use in breast cancer. |
- Progression-Free Survival, as Determined by the Investigator According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 40 months) ]
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause (up to 40 months) ]
- Objective Response Rate, as Determined by the Investigator According to RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: From randomization until disease progression or death (up to 40 months) ]The objective response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) on two consecutive occasions at least 4 weeks apart.
- Duration of Response, as Determined by the Investigator According to RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: From first occurrence of documented objective response to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 40 months) ]
- Clinical Benefit Rate, as Determined by the Investigator According to RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: From randomization until disease progression or death (up to 40 months) ]The clinical benefit rate is defined as the percentage of participants with stable disease for ≥24 weeks or a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).

- Time to Deterioration in Pain Presence and Interference, Defined as the Time to First Documented ≥10-Point Increase from Baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 Linearly Transformed Pain Scale Score [ Time Frame: From Baseline until treatment discontinuation (up to 40 months) ]EORTC QLQ-C30 = European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30
- Time to Deterioration in Physical Functioning (PF), Defined as the Time to First Documented ≥10-Point Decrease from Baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 Linearly Transformed PF Scale Score [ Time Frame: From Baseline until treatment discontinuation (up to 40 months) ]
- Time to Deterioration in Role Functioning (RF), Defined as the Time to First Documented ≥10-Point Decrease from Baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 Linearly Transformed RF Scale Score [ Time Frame: From Baseline until treatment discontinuation (up to 40 months) ]
- Time to Deterioration in Global Health Status and Quality of Life (GHS/QoL), Defined as the Time to First Documented ≥10-Point Decrease from Baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 Linearly Transformed GHS/QoL Scale Score [ Time Frame: From Baseline until treatment discontinuation (up to 40 months) ]
- Number of Participants with Adverse Events, Severity Determined According to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v5.0) [ Time Frame: From Baseline until 30 days after final dose of study drug (up to 40 months) ]
- Number of Participants with Vital Sign Abnormalities Over the Course of the Study [ Time Frame: Assessed at Baseline and predose on Day 1 of every cycle (1 cycle is 28 days) until 30 days after the final dose of study drug (up to 40 months) ]Vital signs include respiratory rate, pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure while the patient is in a seated position, and temperature.
- Number of Participants with Clinical Laboratory Test Abnormalities for Hematology Parameters Over the Course of the Study [ Time Frame: Assessed at Baseline and predose on Day 1 of every cycle (1 cycle is 28 days) until 30 days after the final dose of study drug (up to 40 months) ]
