For male patients: during the intervention period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of elacestrant, patients should refrain from heterosexual intercourse or use a condom (and should also be advised of the benefit for a female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception as a condom may break or leak), and they should refrain from donating sperm.\n- Female or male patients.\n- Age at study entry of at least 18 years.\n- Centrally confirmed locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that is HR-positive (ER and/or PgR ≥ 10% of stained cells at IHC) and HER2-negative (IHC 0 or 1+, or 2+ and ISH negative according to ASCO/CAP guidelines).\n- Patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious gBRCA1/2 detected upon local testing.\n- Willingness and ability to provide archived formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue (FFPE) block or a partial block from archived tumor or metastasis.\n- Indication for standard-of-care PARP inhibitor therapy and planned treatment with olaparib.\n- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0-2.\n- Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior anti-cancer therapy including endocrine therapy or surgical procedures to NCI CTCAE version 5.0 grade ≤ 1 (except alopecia or other toxicities not considered a safety risk for the patient at investigator’s discretion)."}
Exclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- Known hypersensitivity reaction to one of the compounds, excipients, or substances used in this protocol.\n- Active and current anticoagulation for treatment purposes of thrombotic events occurring < 6 months before enrolment is not allowed (prophylactic anticoagulation, however, is acceptable). Treatment with an anticoagulant for a thrombotic event occurring > 6 months before enrolment, or for an otherwise stable and allowed medical condition (e.g., well controlled atrial fibrillation) is acceptable, provided dose and coagulation parameters (as defined by local standard of care) are stable for at least 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug.\n- Known difficulty in tolerating oral medications or conditions which would impair absorption of oral medications such as: uncontrolled nausea or vomiting (i.e., CTCAE ≥ grade 3 despite antiemetic therapy), ongoing gastrointestinal obstruction/motility disorder, malabsorption syndrome, or prior gastric bypass.\n- History of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia in patients who have not undergone a hysterectomy.\n- Malignant disease other than breast cancer, active or being disease-free for less than 5 years (except carcinoma in situ of the cervix, DCIS, and non-melanomatous skin cancer adequately treated).\n- Uncontrolled significant active infections including HBV, HCV, and/or HIV.

Participants with positive hepatitis C antibody due to prior resolved disease can be enrolled only if they have both completed curative therapy and have a hepatitis C viral load < quantifiable limit.\n- Any severe, acute, uncontrolled, or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational or non-investigational products administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study. Moreover, patients who, by virtue of an order issued by judicial or administrative authorities, are committed to an institution or those who cannot take part in clinical trials are excluded from this study.\n- History of significant neurological or psychiatric disorders including psychotic disorders, dementia, or seizures that would prohibit the understanding and giving of informed consent.\n- Unable or unwilling to avoid medications, supplements (e.g., St. John’s wort), or foods (e.g., grapefruit, pomegranate, pomelos, star fruit, Seville oranges and their juices) that are moderate/strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 activity.

Male patients: intention to get a child during the study and for a predefined period after the end of treatment (as described in protocol). According to the treatment received during the study, required contraception timelines for female and male patient after the end of therapy differ (refer to the study protocol).\n- Any of the following within 6 months prior to enrolment: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, ongoing grade ≥ 2 cardiac dysrhythmias, prolonged QT corrected by Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) grade ≥ 2, uncontrolled atrial fibrillation of any grade, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, heart failure of New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or greater, or cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack.\n- Uncontrolled hypertension at the time of screening (systolic BP > 140 mmHg or diastolic BP > 90 mmHg that has not been adequately treated or controlled)."}
