          -  Have a diagnosis of HR+, HER2- breast cancer. Although not required as a protocol
             procedure, metastatic disease should be considered for biopsy whenever possible to

             dysfunction as assessed by symptoms and signs, laboratory studies, and rapid
             progression of the disease.

          -  Have inflammatory breast cancer.

          -  Are currently receiving or have previously received chemotherapy for locoregionally
             recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. (Note: Participants may be enrolled if they
             received prior [neo]adjuvant chemotherapy for localized disease.)

             or non-approved use of a drug or device (other than the IP/device used in this study),
             or concurrently enrolled in any other type of medical research judged not to be
             scientifically or medically compatible with this study. If a participant is currently
             enrolled in a clinical trial involving non-approved use of a device, then agreement
             with the investigator and Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) clinical research physician
             (CRP) is required to establish eligibility.

             such as yellow fever vaccine.

          -  Have serious preexisting medical conditions that, in the judgment of the investigator,
             would preclude participation in this study (eg, history of major surgical resection
             involving the stomach or small bowel, or preexisting Crohn's disease or ulcerative
             colitis).

          -  Have a personal history within the last 12 months of any of the following conditions:
             syncope of cardiovascular etiology, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation,
             or sudden cardiac arrest.

          -  Have a history of any other cancer (except nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma
             in-situ of the cervix), unless in complete remission with no therapy for a minimum of
             3 years.

          -  Have received an autologous or allogeneic stem-cell transplant.

          -  Have clinical evidence of active bacterial or fungal infection or active viral
             infection that, in the judgment of the investigator, would preclude participation in
             this study (eg, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] or viral hepatitis). Screening test
             is not required for enrollment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Progression Free Survival (PFS) (Abemaciclib + NSAI & Placebo NSAI)
Time Frame:Randomization to Measured Progressive Disease or Death (up to 26 Months)
Safety Issue:
Description:Progression-free survival time was measured from randomization until the date of objective progression as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 (RECIST v1.1), or death from any cause. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, with reference being the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions, or 1 or more new lesions. Patients who have neither progressed nor died were censored at the day of their last radiographic tumor assessment, if available, or date of randomization if no post-baseline radiographic assessment is available.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Progression Free Survival (PFS) (Abemaciclib + Fulvestrant and Placebo + Fulvestrant Arms)
Time Frame:Randomization to Measured Progressive Disease or Death (up to 26 Months)
Safety Issue:
Description:Progression-free survival time was measured from randomization until the date of objective progression as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 (RECIST v1.1), or death from any cause. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, with reference being the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions, or 1 or more new lesions. Patients who have neither progressed nor died were censored at the day of their last radiographic tumor assessment, if available, or date of randomization if no post-baseline radiographic assessment is available.
Measure:Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame:Randomization to Date of Death from Any Cause (Estimated up to 38 Months)
Safety Issue:
Description:
Measure:Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Response (BOR) of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [Objective Response Rate (ORR)]
Time Frame:Randomization to Measured Progressive Disease (up to 26 Months)
Safety Issue:
Description:Objective response rate is the percentage of participants with a BOR of CR or PR as defined by RECIST v1.1. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of new lesions. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum LD), no progression of non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions.
Measure:Duration of Response (DoR)
Time Frame:Date of CR or PR to Date of Objective Disease Progression or Death Due to Any Cause (Estimated up to 38 Months)
Safety Issue:
Description:
Measure:Percentage of Participants Who Exhibit Stable Disease (SD) or CR or PR [Disease Control Rate (DCR)]
Time Frame:Randomization to Measured Progressive Disease (up to 26 Months)
Safety Issue:
Description:Disease control rate (DCR) is the percentage of participants with a best overall response of CR, PR or SD as defined by RECIST v1.1. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of new lesions. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum LD), no progression of non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions. SD is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD) for target lesions, no progression of non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, with reference being the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions, or 1 or more new lesions.
Measure:Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Response of CR, PR, or SD With Duration of SD for at Least 6 Months [Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)]
Time Frame:Randomization to Measured Progressive Disease (up to 26 Months)
Safety Issue:
Description:Clinical benefit rate (CBR) is the percentage of participants with a BOR of CR or PR, or SD for at least 6 months. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions & no appearance of new lesions. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum LD), no progression of non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions. SD is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD for target lesions, no progression of non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, with reference being the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions, or 1 or more new lesions.
Measure:Change From Randomization in Symptom Burden on the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)
Time Frame:Baseline through 19 Months
Safety Issue:
Description:consists of 30 items covered by 1 of 3 dimensions: Global health status/quality of life (2 items) with scores ranging from 1 (Very Poor) to 7 (Excellent). Functional scales (15 total items addressing either physical, role, emotional, cognitive, or social functioning), each item scores ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much) Symptom scales (13 total items addressing either fatigue, nausea/vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, or financial impact), each item scores ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Raw scores are linearly converted to a 0-100 scale with higher scores reflecting higher levels of function/QOL or higher levels of symptom burden.
Measure:Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration Curve of Abemaciclib, Its Metabolites (M2 & M20)
Time Frame:C1D1 post dose, C2D1 post dose, C3D1 predose, C4D1 predose
Safety Issue:
Description:Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration Curve of Abemaciclib and its Metabolites LSN2839567 (M2) & LSN3106726 (M20) was reported. C=Cycle, D=day;
