Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objectives of the Phase 1b Dose Escalation part of this study are to characterize the safety and tolerability of GS-5829 in combination with exemestane or fulvestrant and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the recommended Phase 2 dose of GS-5829 in combination with fulvestrant in women with advanced estrogen receptor positive, HER2-negative (ER+/HER2-) breast cancer.

The primary objective of the Randomized Phase 2 Dose Expansion portion of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GS-5829 in combination with fulvestrant compared to fulvestrant alone in women with advanced ER+/HER2- breast cancer.

This study was terminated early and the Phase 2 portion of the study was not conducted.

Eligibility Key Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed breast cancer with evidence of metastatic or locally advanced disease not amenable to resection or radiation therapy with curative intent and who have progressed during treatment with at least one prior hormonal therapy

- Phase 1b Dose Escalation - Individuals may have had unlimited prior hormonal therapy and a total of 2 prior chemotherapy regimens (adjuvant chemotherapy is considered 1 regimen). Individuals may have progressed on fulvestrant or exemestane.

- Randomized Phase 2 Dose Expansion - Individuals may have disease progression during treatment or within 12 months of completion of endocrine therapy (tamoxifen, and/or AI) in the adjuvant setting, or disease progression during treatment with endocrine therapy (tamoxifen, AI or CDK4/6 inhibitor plus AI) for advanced/metastatic disease. Individuals may have had unlimited prior hormonal therapy, but must be naive to fulvestrant in the metastatic setting. A total of 2 prior chemotherapies are allowed, however, only one for metastatic disease is permitted.

- Documentation of ER positive (= 1% positive stained cells by local standards) based on the most recent tumor biopsy, unless bone-only disease

- Minor surgical procedure(s) within 7 days of enrollment or randomization, or not yet recovered from prior surgery (placement of central venous access device, fine needle aspiration, or endoscopic biliary stent = 1 day before enrollment or randomization is acceptable)

- History of a concurrent or second malignancy, except for: adequately treated local basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; cervical carcinoma in situ; superficial bladder cancer; adequately treated Stage 1 or 2 cancer currently in complete remission; any other cancer that has been in complete remission for = 5 years

- Anti-tumor therapy (chemotherapy, chemoradiation, radiation, antibody therapy, molecular targeted therapy) within 21 days or 5 half-lives whichever is longer, of C1D1 (6 weeks for nitrosoureas, mitomycin C, or molecular agents with t1/2 > 10 days); 5 half-lives of any investigational drug; concurrent use of goserelin for pre-/peri-menopausal breast cancer and exemestane or fulvestrant per the protocol are permitted

- History of long QT syndrome or whose corrected QT interval (QTc) measured (Fridericia method) at screening is prolonged (> 470 ms). Individuals who screen fail due to this criterion are not eligible to be re-screened
