Background and study aims
Cancer is a health condition where the body's cells start growing and multiplying in an uncontrolled and abnormal way. Instead of following the usual pattern of cell growth, these cells form a lump or mass called a tumor. Breast cancer is a health condition where cancer cells form in the breast. Despite how well the available treatments are working, the cancer ultimately returns in many patients after it improved for a while, or the cancer stops responding to the treatment. This study tests a medicine called giredestrant. It is being developed to treat breast cancer with estrogen receptors, which are little proteins found in the cancer cells. Giredestrant is an experimental medicine. This means health authorities (like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency) have not approved giredestrant for the treatment of breast cancer. This study aims to test how much giredestrant reaches the bloodstream and how long the body takes to get rid of it when it is given along with itraconazole or carbamazepine to healthy female participants who are unable to become pregnant.

 Who can participate? 
Healthy females of 18-65 years of age with breast cancer, who could not become pregnant took part in the study. Patients treated with any drug that specifically works on the estrogen receptors, which are little proteins found in the cancer cells, are unable to take part in this study.

People who are pregnant, or breastfeeding are unable to take part in the study.

 What does the study involve?
Participants will be screened to check if they can participate in the study. The screening period will take place approximately 5 weeks before the start of treatment.

Everyone who joins this study will be split into two groups, Group A and Group B. Both groups receive two treatment periods, Periods 1 and 2. Participants are able to take part in only one group of the study.

In Group A, participants are given giredestrant, as a pill by mouth on Day 1 of Period 1 and then on Day 4 of Period 2 along with itraconazole given as an oral liquid. Participants are given itraconazole on Days 1 to 14 of Period 2.

In Group B participants are given giredestrant, as a pill by mouth on Day 1 of Period 1 and then on Day 15 of Period 2 along with carbamazepine, also given as a pill by mouth. Participants are given carbamazepine on Days 1 to 21 of Period 2.

This is an open-label study. This means everyone involved, including the participant and the study doctor, will know the study treatment the participant has been given.

During this study, the participants are confined at the study site for at least 26 days (Group A) or at least 31 days (Group B). Participants received a follow-up telephone call from the study doctor to check on their well-being after approximately 8 to 10 days of completing the study treatment. Total time of participation in the study was about 6 weeks for group A and 7 weeks for group B, excluding the 5 weeks of screening. Participants had the right to stop study treatment and leave the study at any time if they wished to do so.

 What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? 
Taking part in the study may or may not make participants feel better. However, the information collected in the study can help other people with similar health conditions in the future.

It may not have been fully known at the time of the study how safe and well the study treatment worked. The study involves some risks to the participants. However, these risks are generally not greater than those related to routine medical care or the natural progression of the health condition. People interested in taking part are informed about the risks and benefits, as well as any additional procedures or tests they may need to undergo. All details of the study are described in an informed consent document. This includes information about possible effects and other options for treatment.

Risks associated with the study drugs
Participants may have unwanted effects of the drugs used in this study. These unwanted effects can be mild to severe, even life-threatening, and vary from person to person. During this study, participants will have regular check-ups to see if there are any unwanted effects.

Giredestrant:
Participants are told about the known unwanted effects of giredestrant and possible unwanted effects based on human and laboratory studies or knowledge of similar medicines. Known unwanted effects include pain or stiffness in the joints (arthralgia), frequent watery stools (diarrhea), the feeling of spinning, being unsteady and losing balance (dizziness), tiredness, muscle or bone pain, queasy feeling in the stomach that gives the sensation of wanting to vomit (nausea).

Itraconazole:
Participants are told about the known unwanted effects of itraconazole. Known unwanted effects include shortness of breath, headache, the feeling of spinning, being unsteady and losing balance, heartburn, runny nose, a persistent feeling of sadness, and loss of interest that can affect daily functioning (depression), hair loss, and fever.

Carbamazepine:
Participants are told about the known unwanted effects of carbamazepine. Known unwanted effects include increased thoughts of suicide, liver damage feeling of spinning, being unsteady, and losing balance, frequent watery stools, heart failure, blurred vision, and fainting.
