This is a randomized, 2-arm, open-label, multicenter, international phase II trial. A total of 196 patients will be included. The study will include patients with metastatic Hormone Receptor positive / Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER2) negative breast cancer with progressive disease after endocrine treatment. Patients will be randomized (1:1) between two treatment arms: A. palbociclib + fulvestrant and b. capecitabine.

Progression free survival (PFS), as assessed locally by the investigator.
Time to progression will be measured according to the RECIST criteria (version 1.1). Response criteria are essentially based on a set of measurable lesions identified at baseline as target lesions, and - together with other lesions that are denoted as non-target lesions - followed until disease progression.
Time frame: Time from the date of randomization to the date of progression, assessed up to 5 years.
Health related quality of life score EuroQol (EQ-5D)
Change from baseline to Health related quality of life score EuroQol (EQ-5D)
Time frame: Baseline to progression up to 2 years
Health related quality of life score EORTC QLQ-C30
European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Instrument (EORTC QLQ-C30).
Time frame: Baseline to progression up to 2 years
Health related quality of life score EORTC QLQ-BR23
European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Breast Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ-BR23).
Time frame: Baseline to progression up to 2 years
Correlation of efficacy measures with tumor Biomarkers
PgR IHC status (10% cut-off), will be correlated with PFS
Time frame: Correlative analyses will be performed after the end of the trial. PFS is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of progression assessed up to 5 years..
Correlation of efficacy measures with tumor Biomarkers
Ki67 IHC status, will be correlated with PFS
Time frame: Correlative analyses will be performed after the end of the trial. PFS is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of progression assessed up to 5 years.

Correlation of efficacy measures with tumor Biomarkers
ESR1 DNA somatic mutation status, will be correlated with PFS
Time frame: Correlative analyses will be performed after the end of the trial. PFS is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of progression assessed up to 5 years.
Correlation of efficacy measures with tumor Biomarkers
Somatic mutations in cancer genes identified by sequencing, will be correlated with PFS
Time frame: Correlative analyses will be performed after the end of the trial. PFS is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of progression assessed up to 5 years.
Correlation of efficacy measures with tumor Biomarkers
SET index, will be correlated with PFS
Time frame: Correlative analyses will be performed after the end of the trial. PFS is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of progression assessed up to 5 years.
Overall survival (OS)
Overall survival from time of randomization to death from any cause.
Time frame: Time from randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years.
1-year survival
1-year survival rate from time of randomization to death from any cause.
Time frame: Time from randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years.
2-year survival
2-year survival rate from time of randomization to death from any cause.
Time frame: Time from randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years.
Objective response
Objective tumor response will be measured according to the RECIST criteria (version 1.1). Response criteria are essentially based on a set of measurable lesions identified at baseline as target lesions, and - together with other lesions that are denoted as non-target lesions - followed until disease progression.
Time frame: From randomization until end of treatment, assessed up to 5 years.
Duration of response
Response duration will be measured from the time measurement criteria for complete response (CR)/ partial response (PR) (whichever is first recorded) are first met until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented.
Time frame: From randomization until end of treatment, up to 5 years.
Clinical Benefit Rate
Clinical Benefit Rate is defined as CR+PR+stable disease (SD) for \> 24 weeks
Time frame: From randomization until end of treatment, up to 5 years.
Frequency of adverse events (AE)
Adverse events will be recorded and graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 4.0
Time frame: From randomization until 28 days after the last dose of study medication, assessed up to 5 years.
