1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Palbociclib + letrozole or + fulvestrantExperimental Treatment8 Interventions
Palbociclib should be taken by mouth with food on a 5 days on/2 days off schedule (meaning: on Days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, and 22-26 of each 28-day cycle). Patients who are receiving letrozole will take it daily by mouth, every day of each 28-day cycle. Patients who are receiving fulvestrant will receive it as two intramuscular injections (one into each buttock) on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 of each cycle thereafter. Goserelin is given as a subcutaneous injection every 28 days. It is preferred to be given on Day 1 of each cycle, but it may be administered on any day of the treatment cycle to accommodate its specific Q28-day cycle. It will be given to pre- or peri-menopausal women only. Optional research biopsy at baseline and progression Blood for research at baseline, cycle 1 day 15, cycle 2 day 1, every 2-3 months (to coincide with imaging studies), and time of progression
