Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Postmenopausal female patients
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer
  • Relapsed or progressed on prior treatment with aromatase inhibitor (AI)
  • Metastatic disease must be measurable
  • Patients receiving palliative radiation at the non-target lesions must have a 2 week wash out period following completion of the treatment prior to enrollment
  • Patient may have had one prior chemotherapy as part of first line therapy as long as it was received before initiation of prior AI
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status: 0 to 1
  • Laboratory parameters: a)Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL; platelets ≥ 100.0 x 10\^9/L; Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC ≥) 1.5 x 10\^9/L without the use of hematopoietic growth factors b)Creatinine less than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal for the institution c)Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) less than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal for the institution
  • Able to understand and give written informed consent and comply with study procedures

Exclusion Criteria

  • Relapse on treatment with non-steroidal AI after less than 12 months for patients in the adjuvant setting
  • Progressive disease after less than 3 months treatment with most recent AI for patients with metastatic disease
  • Rapidly progressive, life-threatening metastases
  • Any palliative radiotherapy to the measurable lesion
  • Previous treatment with SNDX-275 or any other histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor including valproic acid
  • Allergy to benzamides or inactive components of the study drug
  • A history of allergies to any active or inactive ingredients of exemestane
  • Any concomitant medical condition that precludes adequate study treatment compliance
  • Patient is currently enrolled in (or completed within 30 days before study drug administration) another investigational drug study
  • Patient is currently receiving treatment with valproic acid, Zolinza (vorinostat) or any other HDAC inhibitor or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methyltransferase inhibitor or any systemic anticancer treatment (with the exception of Lupron)

Arms & Interventions

Exemestane 25 mg + Entinostat 5 mg

Exemestane (Aromasin®) 25 mg tablets orally once daily plus an entinostat 5 mg tablet orally once per week on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 28-day treatment cycle until development of progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity or closure of the study by the Sponsor, whichever occurred first.

Intervention: entinostat

Exemestane 25 mg + Entinostat 5 mg

Exemestane (Aromasin®) 25 mg tablets orally once daily plus an entinostat 5 mg tablet orally once per week on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 28-day treatment cycle until development of progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity or closure of the study by the Sponsor, whichever occurred first.

Intervention: exemestane

Exemestane 25 mg + Placebo

Exemestane (Aromasin®) 25 mg tablets orally once daily plus a placebo-matching entinostat tablet orally once per week on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 28-day treatment cycle until development of progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity or closure of the study by the Sponsor, whichever occurred first.

Intervention: exemestane

Exemestane 25 mg + Placebo

Exemestane (Aromasin®) 25 mg tablets orally once daily plus a placebo-matching entinostat tablet orally once per week on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 28-day treatment cycle until development of progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity or closure of the study by the Sponsor, whichever occurred first.

Intervention: Placebo

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Progression-free Survival (PFS)

Time Frame: From date of randomization to discontinuation due to disease progression or death up to primary completion date (Median follow-up 6 months)

PFS is defined as the number of months from the date of randomization to the earlier of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR)(From date of randomization to discontinuation due to disease progression or intolerable Adverse Event (AE) up to primary completion date (Median follow-up 6 months))
  • Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)(First dose to within 30 days of last dose of study drug (Up to Approximately 2 Years))
  • Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)(From date of randomization to discontinuation due to disease progression or intolerable AE up to primary completion date (Median follow-up 6 months))
