  4. Adult females, pre- and/or post-menopausal, and adult males -Pre-menopausal (and peri-menopausal i.e., those that do not meet the criteria for post-menopausal defined below) women can be enrolled if amenable to treatment with an LHRH agonist.

  5. Histologically confirmed HR+/HER2- breast cancer determined from the most recent tumour sample (primary or metastatic), as per the American Society of Clinical Oncology and College of American Pathologists guideline recommendations. To fulfil the requirement of HR+ disease, a breast cancer must express ER with or without co-expression of progesterone receptor. 1)ER+ defined as ≥1% of tumour cells stain positive for ER on immunohistochemistry (IHC) or, if no percentage is available, then an Allred IHC score of ≥3/8, 2)Progesterone receptor positive defined as ≥1% of tumour cells stain positive for progesterone receptor on IHC or, if no percentage is available, then an Allred IHC score of ≥3/8; or progesterone receptor negative defined as <1% of tumour cells stain positive for progesterone receptor on IHC or, if no percentage is available, then an Allred IHC score of ≤2/8; or progesterone receptor unknown, 3)or the investigator assesses the condition as HR+ status and 4)HER2- defined as 0 or 1+ intensity on IHC, or 2+ intensity on IHC and no evidence of amplification on in situ hybridisation (ISH), or if IHC not done, no evidence of amplification on ISH.

  1. Patients must have at least 1 measurable lesion.

  2. Patients must be eligible for fulvestrant therapy as per local investigator assessment.

  3. Known HIV infection that is not well controlled. (All of the following criteria are required to define an HIV infection that is well controlled: undetectable viral RNA load, CD4+ count of >350, no history of AIDS-defining opportunistic infection within the past 12 months, and on anti-HIV medications for at least 4 weeks. Teams should consider adding appropriate information into sections for AE monitoring and the concomitant medication tables.[HIV inclusion criteria may be adjusted to lower CD4+ count values if clinically indicated if the patient has a potentially curable malignancy or for interventions in a later stage of development that have demonstrated prior activity within a given cancer, please adjust if necessary.])

  4. Known active hepatitis B or C infection, positive hepatitis C antibody, positive hepatitis B virus surface antigen. Participants positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA. Patients receiving antiretroviral therapies which are strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 will be excluded due to the potential for drug-drug interaction with capivasertib as per Table 19 Drug Interactions that affect Capivasertib.

History of hypersensitivity to active or inactive excipients of capivasertib, fulvestrant and LHRH agonists (if applicable, i.e., concomitant LHRH agonist required in this study) or drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to capivasertib, fulvestrant or LHRH agonists (if applicable, i.e., concomitant LHRH agonist required in this study)

  10. Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that, in the investigator's opinion, gives reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, render the patient at high risk from treatment complications or interferes with obtaining informed consent.

  11. Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff and/or staff at the study site).

  12. More than 2 lines of endocrine therapy for inoperable locally advanced or metastatic disease in Cohort 1; More than 1 lines endocrine therapy for inoperable locally advanced or metastatic disease in Cohort2 For Cohort 2, Patients must receive fulvestrant ≤ 1L endocrine treatment for ABC and progression <6 months after the first dosing of fulvestrant.

For patients with breast cancer recurrence or progression while on, or within 12 months of the end of (neo)adjuvant treatment with an ET will be limited to approximately 10%.

NOTE: If an attempt to downstage a locally advanced tumour with endocrine therapy was made in the absence of metastatic breast cancer (neoadjuvant), and the tumour operated upon, then this does not count as a line of therapy for ABC. In contrast, if the tumour remained inoperable, this treatment should be included as a line of therapy for ABC. Adjuvant endocrine therapy is not considered a line of therapy for ABC. In addition, switching drugs within a line of therapy to manage toxicities in the absence of progressive disease does NOT count as a new line of therapy.

  1. More than 1 line of chemotherapy for inoperable locally advanced or metastatic disease (Patients experienced recurrence or progression during chemotherapy of ABC will be limited to a maximum approximately of 15% of the total study population; once this limit is met the enrolment of this group of patients should be terminated). Adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy are not classed as lines of chemotherapy for ABC

  2. Prior treatment with any of the following: a)AKT, PI3K and mTOR inhibitors b)Fulvestrant, and other SERDs in Cohort1 c)Nitrosourea or mitomycin C within 6 weeks prior to study treatment initiation d)Any other chemotherapy, immunotherapy, immunosuppressant medication (other than corticosteroids) or anticancer agents within 3 weeks prior to study treatment initiation. A longer washout period may be required for drugs with a long half-life (e.g., biologics) as agreed by the sponsor e)Systemic therapy: Prior exposure to any chemotherapy or anti-cancer agents other than those specified in the protocol (e.g. hormonal therapy such as LHRH agonists) without appropriate washout period before enrolment, for example, enrolment within 3 half-lives of a small molecule anti-cancer agent, or within 4 weeks for any antibody-based anticancer agents. f)Potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment (3 weeks for St John's wort) or drugs that are sensitive to CYP3A4 inhibition within 1 week prior to study treatment initiation. g)Any concomitant medication that may interfere with fulvestrant safety and efficacy based on the prescribing information of fulvestrant and local clinical guidelines.

  3. Participation in another clinical study with a non-marketed investigational medicinal product (IMP) administered in the last 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer (for IMPs which are a previously marketed drug, regardless of indication.)

  4. Judgment by the investigator that the patient should not participate in the study if the patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements.

  5. Pregnant women (confirmed with positive pregnancy test) or breast-feeding women or women who are planning to become pregnant.
