Study Summary

This trial looks at whether a drug combo could improve breast cancer treatment, specifically for those with ER+/HER2- and metastatic breast cancer who've had prior CDK4/6 inhibitor exposure.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have tried at least two endocrine therapies, including a CDK4/6 inhibitor. They should be in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1), have no severe heart issues, and not be at immediate risk due to visceral spread. Participants must not have had recent chemotherapy, major surgery, or certain other treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if elacestrant's effectiveness improves when combined with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, abemaciclib, ribociclib) in patients previously treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. It aims to overcome resistance often seen in this common subtype of breast cancer after standard treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include nausea, fatigue, blood disorders like low white cell count which can increase infection risk; liver function changes; potential cardiac issues; and possible allergic reactions similar to those from drugs related to elacestrant.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has the Elacestrant Monotherapy regimen achieved regulatory sanction?

"Elacestrant Monotherapy is presumed to be a relatively safe intervention, so it merited a score of 2 on our scale. This correlates with the fact that this experiment has reached Phase 2, as there exist some data confirming safety but none which suggest efficacy."
