Summary

The study is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, Phase 3 clinical trial with
the primary objective of demonstrating the superiority of palbociclib in combination with
fulvestrant (Faslodex®) over fulvestrant alone in prolonging PFS in women with HR+, HER2
negative metastatic breast cancer whose disease has progressed after prior endocrine
therapy. The safety between the two treatment arms will also be compared. During study
treatment, pre- and perimenopausal women must be receiving therapy with the LHRH agonist
goserelin (Zoladex® or generic).
**Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials have an opportunity to contribute to scientists’ knowledge about cancer and to help in the development of improved cancer treatments.
