12. Any clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities, which may impair intake, transit or absorption of the study drugs, such as the inability to take oral medication in tablet form and malabsorption syndrome.
13. Any mental disorder that would limit the understanding or rendering of informed consent and/or compromise compliance with the requirements of this protocol.
14. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and in the judgement of the investigator would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
15. Participation in other studies within 4 weeks before the current study begins and/or during study participation.

Primary Outcome(s)

Primary end point(s): Primary Endpoint Phase 1B (Lead-in portion): Adverse Events as characterized by type, frequency, severity (as graded by NCI CTCAE v 4.0) timing, seriousness and relationship to study therapy

Primary Endpoint - Phase 2: Ki 67 (% positive tumor cells) as tested by IHC (central lab).

Secondary Objective: Phase 1B: • evaluate the safety profile of PF-04691502 in combination with letrozole.
• evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of PF-0461502 and letrozole when administered alone and in combination.
• characterize the effects, if any, of PF-0461502 combined with letrozole on QTc interval.
• evaluate genetic alterations, RNA and/or protein changes at baseline and after treatment with the 2 regimens, to explore novel patient selection biomarkers in ER positive, HER-2 negative early breast cancers.

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Phase 1B - The primary end point is Adverse Events as characterized by type, frequency, severity (as graded by NCI CTCAEv.4.0) timing, seriousness and relationship to study therapy. The timepoint of evaluation of adverse event is through continous monitoring until up to 28 days after last dose of study treatment or until a new antitumor agent is administered. Phase 2 - The primary end point Ki-67 (% positive tumor cells) as tested by IHC (central lab). The timepoint is baseline, week 2 and Week 6.
