[177Lu]Lu-NeoB in Combination With Ribociclib and Fulvestrant in Participants With ER+, HER2- and GRPR+ Advanced Breast Cancer

The study comprises of a dose escalation part and, a concurrent backfill part.

• The dose escalation part will estimate the RD of [177Lu]Lu-NeoB in combination with ribociclib and fulvestrant; four provisional dose levels are planned to be tested: 100 millicurie (mCi) (initial dose), 150mCi, 200 mCi and 250mCi in cohorts of 3 to 6 participants. After inclusion of each cohort of 3 to 6 participants, the incidence rate of DLTs will be compared to the pre-defined toxicity rate boundaries to decide whether the next cohort will receive a lower, higher or same dose or whether the trial will be terminated.
• The backfill part will allow enrollment to a previously cleared dose level (during escalation part) in order to obtain additional safety, tolerability as well as preliminary efficacy data. During the backfill part, the cumulative incidence rate of DLTs will also be compared to the pre-defined toxicity rate boundaries to determine if escalation should be restarted from a lower dose level.
• The recommended dose (RD) will be determined considering all available data from the escalation and backfill part.

During screening, study participants will receive the investigational imaging agent [68Ga]Ga-NeoB. An additional administration of the [68Ga]Ga-NeoB will be performed potentially at Cycle 2 Day 15, and within 4-8 weeks from the last administration of [177Lu]Lu-NeoB for a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) or PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Study treatment will include [177Lu]Lu-NeoB on day 1 of each 28-day cycle (+ =< 3 days) for 6 cycles, ribociclib (once daily; days 1 to 21 in a 28-day cycle) and fulvestrant (C1D1, C1D15, C2D1 and every 28 days thereafter) until disease progression. Pre- and perimenopausal women and men will additionally receive goserelin on day 1 of every cycle.

During the treatment period participants will be required to attend a site visit approximately every 28 days, on the first day of each cycle (as well as on C1D2, C1D3, C1D8, C1D15, C2D15, C3D3 and C5D3), to undergo study treatment administration, dosimetry and safety assessments.

Radiologic tumor assessments (chest, abdomen, and pelvis CT or MRI) are performed every 8 weeks (± 7 days) until end of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-NeoB treatment. After the end of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-NeoB treatment, imaging assessments will be performed as clinically indicated at the discretion of the investigator.

The end of study is defined as the date of the last visit, scheduled procedure or follow up (or date of death, WoC or lost to follow up, whichever occurs first) of the last participant in the study globally.

Key Inclusion criteria:

• Adult female or male >= 18 years of age at the time of informed consent
• Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of estrogen-receptor positive with ER >10% (regardless of progesterone receptor (PgR) expression) breast cancer by local laboratory testing (based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample)
• HER2 negative breast cancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization test or an immunohistochemistry (IHC) status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization (e.g. fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH), or silver in situ hybridization (SISH)) test is required by local laboratory testing (based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample)
• Participant has advanced (loco regionally recurrent not amenable to curative therapy (e.g. surgery and/or radiotherapy) or metastatic) breast cancer

Participants may be:

• relapsed with documented evidence of relapse on or within 12 months from completion of (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy (+/- CDK4/6 inhibitor) with no treatment for advanced disease OR
• relapsed with documented evidence of relapse more than 12 months from completion of (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy and then subsequently progressed with documented evidence of progression after one line of endocrine therapy (except fulvestrant) (+/- CDK4/6 inhibitor) for advanced disease OR
• advanced breast cancer at diagnosis that progressed with documented evidence of progression after one line of endocrine therapy (except fulvestrant) (+/- CDK4/6 inhibitor) Note: Participant who relapsed with documented evidence of relapse on/or within 12 months from completion of (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy and then subsequently progressed with documented evidence of progression after one line of endocrine therapy (with either an antiestrogen or an aromatase inhibitor) for advanced disease will NOT be included in the study. At least one target lesion (i.e., a measurable lesion as per RECIST 1.1) in the baseline stand-alone CT or MRI, showing [68Ga]Ga-NeoB uptake on PET/CT or PET/MRI scoring 2 or higher, based on the Visual Scoring Scale.

• Adequate bone marrow and organ function as defined by the laboratory values.
• Standard 12-lead ECG values defined as the mean of the triplicate ECGs and assessed locally:
• QT interval corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) interval at screening < 450 msec
• Mean resting heart rate 50-90 bpm (determined from the ECG)
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1

Key Exclusion criteria:

• More than one line of prior treatment in the advanced/metastatic setting. Participant shouldn't have received prior fulvestrant treatment.
• Documented evidence of prior ribociclib dose reduction due to safety reasons either in adjuvant setting or for advanced disease.
• Relapse or disease progression within 6 months of receiving a CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy either in adjuvant setting or for advanced disease. Symptomatic visceral disease or any disease burden that makes the participant ineligible for ribociclib plus endocrine treatment per the Investigator's best judgment.
• Presence of central nervous system (CNS) involvement unless meeting BOTH of the following criteria: 1) At least 4 weeks from prior therapy completion (including radiation and/or surgery) to starting the study treatment. 2) Clinically stable CNS tumor at the time of screening and not receiving steroids and/or enzyme inducing anti-epileptic medications for brain metastases.
