Intervention

Drug:

GDC-9545 will be administered orally, once daily, on Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.
• Palbociclib
Palbociclib will be administered orally, once daily, at the label-recommended dose of 125 mg on Days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.
• LHRH Agonist
The LHRH agonist (leuprolide acetate, goserelin acetate, or triptorelin pamoate) will be administered by injection once every 4 weeks on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle, according to the label. The investigator will choose the appropriate LHRH agonist approved for use in breast cancer.
