Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- 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 received hepatitis B virus (HBV) antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention and have undetectable HBV viral load prior to randomization

- Has a known germline BRCA mutation (deleterious or suspected deleterious) and has received previous treatment with poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibition either in the adjuvant or metastatic setting
- Has received prior fulvestrant in the adjuvant, unresectable locally advanced, or metastatic setting
- Has received any line of cytotoxic chemotherapy or PARP inhibitor in the unresectable or noncurative advanced/metastatic setting
- Has received prior radiotherapy for non-central nervous system (CNS) disease or required corticosteroids for radiation-related toxicities including radiation pneumonitis, within 14 days of the first dose of study intervention
- Is currently receiving either a strong inhibitor or inducer of CYP3A4 that cannot be discontinued for the duration of the study
- Has received prior systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks before randomization
- Has received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention
- Has concurrent active Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C virus infection
- Has clinically significant cardiac disease, including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction within 6 months from Day 1 of study medication administration, or New York Heart Association Class III or Class IV congestive heart failure
