This study is conducted to evaluate the benefit of adding palbociclib in hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer patients, regardless of menopausal status, treated with tamoxifen (with or without goserelin) versus tamoxifen alone (with or without goserelin).

Progression-free survival (PFS)
The time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of objective progression of disease (PD), clinically diagnosed symptomatic deterioration, or death due to any cause in the absence of documented PD, whichever occurs first.
Time frame: Baseline up to 3.5 years
Overall Survival (OS)
The time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause.
Time frame: From the randomization of the last patient up to 3 years
Survival Probabilities at 1 year, 2 year, and 3 year
The probability of survival 1 year, 2 or 3 years after the date of randomization based on the Kaplan-Meier estimate.
Time frame: From the randomization of the last patient up to 3 years
Objective Response (OR)
Complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) ver.1.1 recorded from randomization until disease progression or death due to any cause.
Time frame: Baseline up to 3.5 years
Duration of Response (DR)
The time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Time frame: Baseline up to 3.5 years
Clinical Benefit Response (CBR)
CR or PR or SD \>=24 weeks according to the RECIST version 1.1 recorded in the time period between randomization and disease progression or death of any cause.
Time frame: Baseline up to 3.5 years

Change From Baseline Between Treatment Comparison in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Functional Scale Scores
The EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire composed of five multi-item functional subscales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive , and social functioning), three multi-item symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain), a global quality of life (QOL) subscale, and six single item symptom scales assessing other cancer-related symptoms (dyspnea, sleep disturbance, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and the financial impact of cancer). The questionnaire employs 28 4-point Likert scales with responses from "not at all" to "very much" and two 7-point Likert scales for global health and overall QOL. Responses to all items are then converted to a 0 to 100 scale. For functional and global QOL scales, higher scores represent a better level of functioning/QOL. For symptom-oriented scales, a higher score represents more severe symptoms. A 10-point or higher change in scores from baseline is considered clinically significant.
Time frame: Baseline up to 3.5 years
Change From Baseline Between Treatment Comparison in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Breast Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ BR23) Functional Scale Scores
The EORTC-QLQ-BR23 is a 23-item breast cancer-specific companion module to the EORTC-QLQ-C30 and consists of four functional scales (body image, sexual functioning, sexual enjoyment, future perspective) and four symptom scales (systemic side effects, breast symptoms, arm symptoms, upset by hair loss). QLQ-BR23 questionnaire employs 4-point scales with responses from 'not at all' to 'very much'. All scores are converted to a 0 to 100 scale. For functional scales, higher scores represent a better level of functioning.
Time frame: Baseline up to 3.5 years
