• Availability of archived tumor tissue or willingness to undergo a baseline tumor biopsy, and in the first 10 study subjects, to determine baseline tumor biomarker levels and a willingness to undergo a second tumor biopsy at C1D15 to assess treatment-induced changes in tumor biomarker levels

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior treatment with a CDK4/6-targeted agent

• Anticancer therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, biologics, irradiation) within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is greater) of screening

• Major surgery within 28 days of screening

• Requirement for systemic treatment with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 at study entry
