Clinical summary
Summary
Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment arms. Treatment cycles are 28-days in length.
In Arm A (Experimental), participants will receive Inavolisib targeted therapy plus Fulvestrant hormone therapy. Inavolisib will be given as an oral tablet once daily, while Fulvestrant will be given on Days 1 and 15 Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle.
In Arm B (Active Comparator), participants will receive Alpelisib targeted therapy plus Fulvestrant hormone therapy. Alpelisib will be given as an oral tablet once day, while Fulvestrant will be given on DAys 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle.

- Confirmation of biomarker eligibility: detection of specified mutation(s) of PIK3CA via specified test
- Disease progression after or during treatment with a combination of CDK4/6i and endocrine therapy: <= 2 prior lines of systemic therapy in mBC setting; CDK4/6i based therapy does not need to be the last one received prior study entry; one line of chemotherapy in mBC setting allowed
