Summary

This study is being done to find out how safe and how well a new treatment works for people with HR+, HER2-negative breast cancer.

Eligible participants will be randomly allocated (by chance) to one of two treatment arms:

  • Arm A: BGB-43395 plus letrozole
  • Arm B: A targeted medicine of the Investigator's choice (either abemaciclib, palbociclib, or ribociclib) plus letrozole.
