Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria:
1. Patient is an adult, female = 18 years old and < 60 years old at the
time of informed consent and has signed informed consent before any
trial related activities are conducted and according to local guidelines.
2. Confirmed negative serum pregnancy test (ß-hCG) before starting
study treatment or patient has had a hysterectomy.
3. Patient is premenopausal or perimenopausal at the time of study
entry.
4. Patient has advanced (locoregionally recurrent or metastatic) breast
cancer not amenable to curative therapy (e.g. surgery and/or
radiotherapy).
5. Patients who received (neo) adjuvant therapy for breast cancer are
eligible:
• If the patient has never received any prior endocrine therapy OR if =
12 months have elapsed since the patient's last dose of adjuvant
therapy, then the patient is eligible to receive tamoxifen + goserelin OR
a NSAI + goserelin for advanced breast cancer based on the
investigator's choice.
• if tamoxifen or fulvestrant was the last prior (neo) adjuvant therapy
and the last dose was given < 12 months prior to randomization, then
the patient is eligible to receive a NSAI (letrozole or anastrazole) +
goserelin for advanced breast cancer.
• If letrozole, anastrozole, or exemestane was the last prior (neo)
adjuvant therapy and the last dose was given < 12 months prior to
randomization, then the patient is eligible to receive tamoxifen +
goserelin for advanced breast cancer.
6. Patients who received = 14 days of tamoxifen or a NSAI (letrozole or
anastrozole) with or without goserelin or goserelin <= 28 days for
advanced breast cancer prior to randomization are eligible. Patients
must continue treatment with the same hormonal agent + goserelin
during the study. No treatment interruption is required for these
patients prior to randomization.
Note: Patients receiving goserelin for reasons other than for advanced
breast cancer treatment are eligible (e.g. endometriosis). Patients who
received <= 28 days goserelin for advanced breast cancer are eligible.
7. Patients who have received up to 1 line of chemotherapy for advanced
breast cancer and have been discontinued 28 days before randomization
are eligible.
Note: if a cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen was discontinued for reasons
other than disease progression and lasted less than 21 d, this regimen
does not count as a prior line of chemotherapy.
8. Patient has a histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis
of estrogen-receptor positive and/or progesterone receptor positive
breast cancer by local laboratory (based on most recently analyzed
biopsy).
9. Patient has HER2-negative breast cancer (based on most recently
analyzed biopsy) defined as a negative in situ hybridization test or an

Exclusion criteria:
1. Patient who has received a prior CDK4/6 inhibitor.
2. Patient has a known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of
LEE011 or goserelin or hormonal treatment assigned (tamoxifen, NSAI
(letrozole or anastrozole)).
3. Patient is postmenopausal.
4. Patients who currently have inflammatory breast cancer on screening.
5. Patient who received any prior hormonal anti-cancer therapy for
advanced breast cancer, except for = 14 days of tamoxifen or NSAI or
goserelin >= days for advanced breast cancer prior to randomization.
6. Patient who has not had resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior
anti-cancer therapy to NCI CTCAE version 4.03 Grade =1 (except
alopecia or other toxicities not considered a safety risk for the patient at
investigator's discretion).
7. Patient has a concurrent malignancy or malignancy within 3 years of
randomization, with the exception of adequately treated basal cell skin
carcinoma, squamous cell skin carcinoma, non-melanomatous skin
cancer or curatively resected cervical cancer.
8. Patient with CNS metastases.
Note: CNS involvement must be ruled out by assessments if a patient has
any signs or symptoms indicating potential CNS metastases
9. Patient has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease
that may significantly alter the absorption of the study drugs (e.g.,
ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection)
10. Patient has a known history of HIV infection (testing not mandatory)
11. Patient has any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical
condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, contraindicate
patient participation in the clinical study (e.g., chronic pancreatitis,
chronic active hepatitis, etc.)
12. Clinically significant, uncontrolled hearth disease and/or
cardiac repolarization abnormality.
13. Patient is currently receiving any of the substances described in the
protocol and cannot be discontinued 7 days prior to the start of the
treatment.
14. Patient has had major surgery within 14 days prior to starting study
drug or has not recovered from major side effects.
15. Patient is currently receiving warfarin or other Coumadin derived
anti-coagulant, for treatment, prophylaxis or otherwise. Therapy with
heparin, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), or fondaparinux is
allowed.
16. Patient is currently receiving or has received systemic
corticosteroids = 2 weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not
fully recovered from side effects of such treatment.
17. Patient is concurrently using other antineoplastic agents (except for
patients who are receiving = 14 days of tamoxifen or NSAI or goserelin
<= 28 days for advanced breast cancer
