A drug used to treat hormone-receptor positive (HR+), HER2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer that is advanced or has spread to other parts of the body.

It is used with an aromatase inhibitor in postmenopausal women who have not been treated with hormone therapy. It is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer.
