What This Trial Is Studying

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of belzutifan (MK-6482) plus fulvestrant compared to everolimus plus endocrine therapy (ET) (investigator's choice of fulvestrant or exemestane) in adults with estrogen receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (ER+/HER2-) unresectable metastatic breast cancer. There is no formal hypothesis testing in this study.

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : * Has a diagnosis of estrogen receptor positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor negative (HER2-) invasive breast carcinoma that is either locally advanced disease not amenable to resection or metastatic disease not treatable with curative intent * Has documented radiographic confirmation of disease progression during or after the last administered endocrine therapy (ET) * Provides additional tissue from the same sample used to determine ER and HER2 status locally * Has received ET in the noncurative setting and has 1) Radiographic disease progression on 12 months or more of ET in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitor in the noncurative setting or 2) Received at least 2 lines of ET in the noncurative setting including CDK4/6 inhibitor where the CDK 4/6 inhibitor was discontinued due to intolerance * Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 assessed within 7 days of randomization * Participants who have AEs due to previous anticancer therapies must have recovered to ≤Grade 1 or baseline. Participants with endocrine-related AEs who are adequately treated with hormone replacement or participants who have ≤Grade 2 neuropathy are eligible * Participants who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive are eligible if they have…
