Chidamide in Combination With Abemaciclib and Endocrinotherapy（Doctor's Choice） in Breast Cancer Patients Previously Treated With Palbociclib

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of chidamide in combination with abemaciclib and endocrinotherapy（doctor's choice） in locally advanced/metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer who had failed prior palbociclib therapy

Phase I (Stage Ib). To evaluate the safety and tolerability of chidamide in combination with abemaciclib and endocrinotherapy（doctor's choice） in locally advanced/metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer and to determine the recommended phase II dose of this combination regimen.

Stage 2 (Phase II). To determine the efficacy and safety of chidamide in combination with abemaciclib and endocrinotherapy（doctor's choice） in locally advanced/metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer with the recommended phase II dose.
