19. Rising ctDNA (as defined in the protocol) detected during Step #1 (centrally determined);
20. Having received at least 6 months of AI + CDK4/6i;
21. Adequate bone marrow reserve and organ function as follows:

    1. Hemoglobin ≥9.0g/dL (90 g/L).
    2. Absolute neutrophil count ≥1000/mm3 (1.0×10\^9/L) or documented institutional normal range for starting abemaciclib.
    3. Total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN or ≤3×ULN in the presence of documented Gilbert's syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia).
    4. ALT and AST ≤3×ULN; for participants with hepatic metastases, ALT and AST ≤5×ULN.
    5. Alkaline phosphatase ≤2.5×ULN (≤ 5.0×ULN if bone or liver metastases present).
    6. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5×ULN or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min as determined by Cockcroft-Gault (using actual body weight).
22. Female participants must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test during the screening period if they are of childbearing potential and agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy during the study and for 4 weeks following the last dose of camizestrant (if applicable) and/or for 3 weeks after the last dose of CDK4/6inhibitor or must have evidence of nonchildbearing potential. In addition, female participants must refrain from egg cell donation and breastfeeding during this same period.

    1. Non-sterilized male partners of a participant who is a woman of childbearing potential must use a male condom plus spermicide from the time of screening throughout the total duration of the study until 4 weeks after last dose of camizestrant.
    2. Non-sterilised male participants (including males sterilised by a method other than bilateral orchidectomy, eg, vasectomy) who intend to be sexually active with a Female Of ChildBearing Potential (FOCBP) must be using an acceptable method of contraception, such as male condom plus spermicide (condom alone in countries where spermicides are not approved), from enrolment throughout the study until at least 1 week to avoid conception during treatment.
