* Radiological evidence of progression more than 12 months of the end of (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy (endocrine sensitive criteria).
10. Evidence of measurable disease as per RECIST v.1.1, or non-measurable, but evaluable, disease, including bone-only disease with at least one lytic or mixed lytic-blastic bone lesion.
11. For patients receiving tamoxifen or toremifene, a washout period of 35 days (5 half-lives) prior to randomization is required
12. Patients must agree to provide and have available a FFPE tissue biopsy sample taken at the time of presentation with recurrent or metastatic disease. If this is not available, archived primary breast cancer specimen may be submitted
13. Adequate bone marrow and organ function:
* Hematological (without platelet, red blood cell transfusion, and/or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support within seven days before treatment initiation): White blood cell (WBC) count \> 3.0 x 109/L; absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L; platelet count ≥ 100.0 x109/L; and hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL.
* Hepatic: Serum albumin ≥ 2.5 g/dL; total serum bilirubin \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) except for patients with Gilbert's syndrome who may be included if the total serum bilirubin is ≤ 3 x ULN or direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN; alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 3 x ULN in patients with liver and/or bone metastases); aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN (≤ 3 x ULN in patients with liver metastases); international normalized ratio (INR) \< 1.5. Prothrombin time (PT) or Prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)/partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, except for subjects receiving coumarin-derivative anticoagulants, factor Xa inhibitors, or other similar anticoagulant therapy, who must have PT-INR within therapeutic range as deemed appropriate by the Investigator from product safety requirements (PSR).
* Renal: Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min as calculated by Cockcroft- Gault equation.
14. Patient must be available and willing to participate in the treatment and follow-up assessments as required.
15. Women of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days before Study treatment initiation. In addition, they must agree to use one highly effective method of birth control from the time of screening until 4 weeks after the last dose of Study treatments. Female patients must refrain from egg cell donation and breastfeeding during this same period. Non-sterilized male partners of heterosexually active females of childbearing potential participants must use a male condom from the time of enrollment of their female partner, throughout their participation in the Study, and until 4 weeks after their female partner's last dose of Study intervention.
16. Male participants who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must be surgically sterile or using an acceptable highly effective method of contraception from the time of screening until 21 days after the last administration of the Study drug. Male participants must not donate or bank sperm during this same period. Female partners of childbearing potential of male participants must agree to use one highly effective method of contraception from the time of screening until 4 weeks after the last dose of Study treatments.
17. ECOG performance status of 0-1.
18. Minimum life expectancy of ≥ 6 months.
6. History of another primary malignancy except for the following:
1. Malignancy treated with curative intent with no known active disease ≥ 3 years before the first dose of Study treatment, and of very low potential risk for recurrence.
2. Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo malignancy without evidence of disease.
3. Other exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
Note: For other cancers considered to have a low risk of recurrence, discussion with the Medical Monitor is required.
7. Known allergy or hypersensitivity reaction to any investigational medicinal products (IMPs) or their incorporated substances.
Note: Ribociclib is contraindicated for patients with hypersensitivity/allergy to peanut or soya.
8. History of malabsorption syndrome or other condition that would interfere with enteral absorption (ongoing gastrointestinal obstruction/motility disorder, malabsorption syndrome, or prior gastric bypass) or results in the inability or unwillingness to swallow pills.
9. Palliative radiotherapy with a limited field of radiation within two weeks or with wide field of radiation or radiation to more than 30% of the bone marrow within four weeks prior to Study enrollment.
10. Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 14 days before Study enrollment.
11. Known abnormalities in coagulation such as bleeding diathesis, or any history of coagulopathy within six months before Study enrollment, including history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
12. Pregnant or lactating women or patients not willing to apply highly effective contraception as defined in the protocol.
13. Current known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) detectable viral load, hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV). Patients with past HBV infection or resolved HBV infection (defined as having a negative hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] test and a positive hepatitis B core antibody \[HBcAb\] test, accompanied by a negative HBV DNA test) are eligible. Patients positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is negative for HCV RNA.
14. Any other active uncontrolled infection at the time of screening. Known substance abuse or any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled psychiatric or medical condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate patient participation.
