Exploring Secondary Treatment Options for Metastatic ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer
As resistance to endocrine and CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy grows, elacestrant offers a promising targeted option for patients with ESR1 mutations driving treatment failure.
The presentation places the EMERALD trial within the broader treatment context of metastatic ER+/HER2– disease. As resistance to endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors grows, second-line options remain limited.
Elacestrant emerged as a potential solution by directly targeting ESR1 mutations, which drive endocrine resistance. The trial findings inform how clinicians may optimize sequencing strategies and enhance patient outcomes through more targeted, mutation-informed care.
