*Cohort A: bireociclib plus letrozole/anastrozole group; Cohort B: bireociclib plus FULV first-line; Cohort C: bireociclib plus FULV second-line. Cohorts A & B for treatment naïve patients in the metastatic setting; Cohort C for patients who progressed on or after prior endocrine therapy. CBR clinical benefit rate; CI confidence interval; CR, complete response; DCR, disease control rate; FULV fulvestrant; NR not reached; ORR, objective response rate; PD, progressive disease; PFS progression-free survival; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease.
