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)."}
