    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Progression-free survival (PFS) [Baseline up to 3.5 years]

      The time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of objective progression of disease (PD), clinically diagnosed symptomatic deterioration, or death due to any cause in the absence of documented PD, whichever occurs first.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Survival (OS) [From the randomization of the last patient up to 3 years]

      The time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause.

    2. Survival Probabilities at 1 year, 2 year, and 3 year [From the randomization of the last patient up to 3 years]

      The probability of survival 1 year, 2 or 3 years after the date of randomization based on the Kaplan-Meier estimate.

    3. Objective Response (OR) [Baseline up to 3.5 years]

      Complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) ver.1.1 recorded from randomization until disease progression or death due to any cause.

    4. Duration of Response (DR) [Baseline up to 3.5 years]

      The time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    5. Clinical Benefit Response (CBR) [Baseline up to 3.5 years]

      CR or PR or SD >=24 weeks according to the RECIST version 1.1 recorded in the time period between randomization and disease progression or death of any cause.

    6. Change From Baseline Between Treatment Comparison in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Functional Scale Scores [Baseline up to 3.5 years]

      The EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire composed of five multi-item functional subscales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive , and social functioning), three multi-item symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain), a global quality of life (QOL) subscale, and six single item symptom scales assessing other cancer-related symptoms (dyspnea, sleep disturbance, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and the financial impact of cancer). The questionnaire employs 28 4-point Likert scales with responses from "not at all" to "very much" and two 7-point Likert scales for global health and overall QOL. Responses to all items are then converted to a 0 to 100 scale. For functional and global QOL scales, higher scores represent a better level of functioning/QOL. For symptom-oriented scales, a higher score represents more severe symptoms. A 10-point or higher change in scores from baseline is considered clinically significant.

    7. Change From Baseline Between Treatment Comparison in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Breast Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ BR23) Functional Scale Scores [Baseline up to 3.5 years]

      The EORTC-QLQ-BR23 is a 23-item breast cancer-specific companion module to the EORTC-QLQ-C30 and consists of four functional scales (body image, sexual functioning, sexual enjoyment, future perspective) and four symptom scales (systemic side effects, breast symptoms, arm symptoms, upset by hair loss). QLQ-BR23 questionnaire employs 4-point scales with responses from 'not at all' to 'very much'. All scores are converted to a 0 to 100 scale. For functional scales, higher scores represent a better level of functioning.

    8. Trough plasma concentrations of palbociclib [Cycle 1/Day 15 and Cycle 2/Day 15]

      Ctrough for palbociclib

    9. Trough plasma concentrations of tamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen, N-desmethyltamoxifen and endoxifen [Cycle 2/Day 15 and Cycle 3/Day 15]

      Ctrough for tamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen, N-desmethyltamoxifen and endoxifen

    10. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [From the first dose of the investigational product until 28 days after the last dose of study drugs]
