This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international, multi-center trial. Men and postmenopausal women will be randomized to either alpelisib plus fulvestrant or alpelisib-matching placebo plus fulvestrant. Randomization will follow a 1:1 randomization ratio and be stratified by presence of lung and/or liver metastases (yes vs. no) and setting at last prior CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy (adjuvant vs metastatic).
Study treatment with alpelisib plus fulvestrant or alpelisib-matching placebo plus fulvestrant will be initiated on Cycle 1 Day 1, and will continue until disease progression per RECIST v1.1 as per BIRC assessment, start of new antineoplastic therapy, death, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal of consent. A cycle is defined as 28 days.
