Participant is female or male adult ≥ 18 years old at the time of informedconsent(s).
Participant has a histologically and/or cytologically documented diagnosis of ER+breast cancer (ER expression >10% of tumor cell nuclei stain (regardless of PgRexpression) (based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample tested by a locallaboratory).
Participant has HER2-negative (as per ASCO-CAP guidelines Wolff et al 2018) breastcancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization test (ISH) or an IHC status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative ISH (e.g., FISH, CISH, or SISH) (based on themost recently analyzed tissue sample tested by a local laboratory) is required.
5a. Participant received no more than three prior endocrine therapies (single agent or in combination with targeted therapy) regimen/s in the metastatic setting of which at least one included endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK4/6i. In addition:
in case of confirmed presence of deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA1or BRCA2 mutation, the participant may also have received a PARP inhibitor-basedtherapy.
In case of HER2-low breast cancer (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+ with ISH negative as perASCO-CAP guidelines Wolff et al 2023), the participant may also have receivedtrastuzumab deruxtecan [Enhertu®]).
- Participant has metastatic breast cancer with radiologically confirmedprogression of disease after the most recent therapy 7. Participant must havemeasurable disease, i.e., at least one measurable lesion as per RECIST 1.1. (alesion at a previously irradiated site may only be counted as a target lesionif there is a clear sign of progression since the irradiation) as per localassessment.
Note: If only lytic bone lesions are present, they must have at least one lesion with a soft tissue component that can be evaluated by CT or MRI and meets the definition of measurability as per RECIST 1.1 criteria (participants with only one predominantly lytic bone lesion that has been previously irradiated are eligible if there is documented evidence of disease progression of the bone lesion after irradiation).
8a. Participant has at least one target lesion [as per RECIST 1.1 and based on the baseline stand-alone contrast-enhanced CT (or MRI)] with [68Ga]Ga-NeoB uptake greater than the physiological uptake of the liver at PET/CT or PET/MRI, as per local reading. In addition:
• Participants with liver or lung disease involvement must show [68Ga]Ga-NeoB uptake greater than the physiological uptake of the liver as follows:
If there is liver disease involvement (in the absence of lung involvement), in ≥ 50%of all CT measurable liver lesions (RECIST 1.1)
If there is lung disease involvement (in the absence of liver involvement), in ≥ 50%of all CT measurable lung lesions (RECIST 1.1)
Participants with both liver and lung disease involvement must show [68Ga]Ga-NeoBuptake above the liver in ≥ 50% of all CT measurable lesions either in liver or lung (RECIST 1.1) and in at least one measurable lesion in the remaining organ (lung orliver) 9a.

Highly effective contraception methods include:
Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of thesubject). Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal,post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
Bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy, total hysterectomy, orbilateral salpingectomy at least six weeks before taking study treatment. In case ofoophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has beenconfirmed by follow up hormone level assessment are they not considered to be ofchildbearing potential.
Bilateral tubal occlusion, Bilateral tubal ligation (at least six weeks beforetaking study treatment)..
Sterilization (vasectomy) of male partner(s) of the female participant at least 6months prior to screening provided partner(s) has(have) received medical assessmentof the surgical success.

If local regulations deviate from the recommendations provided above, local regulations apply and will be described in the ICF.
Women are considered not of child-bearing potential if they are post- menopausal or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy), bilateral salpingectomy or total hysterectomy at least six weeks prior to enrollment on study. In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow-up hormone level assessment is she considered to be not of child-bearing potential.
Note: Use of oral (estrogen and progesterone), injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or intrauterine system (IUS) or any other form of hormonal contraception for example hormone vaginal ring, or transdermal hormone contraception is not allowed in this study.
