- Completion of all necessary screening procedures within 28 days prior to randomisation (except if written differently).
- Willingness to provide tissue and blood samples for immunomonitoring and translational research activities
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%. LVEF performed in routine is accepted if done within 6 months prior to beginning of screening
- Signed Informed Consent form (ICF) obtained prior to any study related procedure.
- Female
- Inclusion criterion for phase II only (all phase II subjects): 20. Tumour sample provided for central PD-L1 IHC assessment (Testing done during screening period).
- Inclusion criterion applicable to FRANCE only (Safety run-in and Phase II subjects) 21. Affiliated to the French Social Security System (applicable only to subjects treated in France)
- ECOG performance status ≤ 1
- Weight ≥ 35 kg
- Histological diagnosis of invasive breast adenocarcinoma that is estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) and HER2- negative as per the updated American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) - College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines and performed according to local testing. In addition, only tumours with Proliferation Index Ki67 ≥ 15% or histology grade III are accepted.
- Agreement to perform new study related biopsies to provide tissue samples
- MammaPrint genomic high risk score according to centralised testing, except for specific conditions as mentioned below. MammaPrint will only be tested for luminal B breast tumours with either Proliferation Index Ki67 ≥ 15% or histology grade III tumours. (Testing to be done during screening period)
- Tumour size: • If subject is cN0: tumour size ≥ 2 cm, as determined by MRI imaging. • If subject is cN1,cN2 or cN3: tumour size: ≥ 1.5 cm, as determined by MRI imaging. The requirement for an MRI is not applicable in the case of medical contraindications to perform MRI (e.g., obesity or claustrophobia). In this situation, tumour evaluations should be performed by ultrasound.
- Multifocal, multicentric unilateral or bilateral breast adenocarcinoma tumours are allowed provided that all biopsiable foci are ER+/HER2- according to local testing and all foci are able to receive SBRT treatment within the defined dosimetric constraints. In some cases a separate biopsy of every focus is not mandatory, but only if every of the following conditions are present. • small focal lesion • lesion in close proximity to the main primary cancer from which a biopsy was taken • the investigator and the radiologist consider the lesion to be clearly related to the main primary breast cancer from which a biopsy was taken • the lesion will be removed during the same lumpectomy than the main primary breast cancer For bilateral, multifocal or multicentric disease, the site selected for pre-treatment biopsy should correspond to the site of largest measurable disease meeting eligibility criteria. The location of tumour biopsy site (laterality, quadrant, position from the nipple and type of imaging modality to guide biopsy) should be collected.
