Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The study consists of 2 parts. Part 1 is dose escalation and will first administer SY-5609 alone to participants with select advanced solid tumors and then in combination with fulvestrant to participants with HR positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Part 2 is a dose expansion and will first administer SY-5609 in combination with gemcitabine and then SY-5609 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in participants with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) .

Participants must have failed prior treatment with a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor in combination with hormonal therapy in a previous line of therapy (Group 2 only). 4. Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed PDAC with measurable metastatic lesion(s) (Groups 3 and 4 only). 5. Participants must have at least 1 measurable lesion by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. 6. All toxicities (except alopecia) from prior cancer treatments must have resolved to ≤ Grade 1 before enrollment. 7. For women of childbearing potential (WCBP): negative serum β human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test within 1 week before the first dose of SY 5609 8. Adequate organ and marrow function 9. Participants must be willing and able to comply with all aspects of the protocol 10. Participants must provide written informed consent before any study-specific screening procedures. 11. Albumin ≥ 3.0 grams/deciliters (g/dL) (Groups 3 and 4 only). Exclusion Criteria: 1.
