Mechanism of Action

Elacestrant is an estrogen receptor antagonist that binds to estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα). In ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer cells, elacestrant inhibited 17β-estradiol mediated cell proliferation at concentrations inducing degradation of ERα protein mediated through proteasomal pathway. Elacestrant demonstrated in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity including in ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer models resistant to fulvestrant and cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors and those harboring estrogen receptor 1 gene (ESR1) mutations.

Orserdu Indications

Indications

In postmenopausal women or adult men, with ER-positive, HER2-negative, ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer with disease progression following at least 1 line of endocrine therapy.

Orserdu Dosage and Administration

Adult

Select patients based on the presence of ESR1 mutation(s) in plasma specimen. Swallow whole. Take with food. 345mg once daily, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B): 258mg once daily. Dose modifications for adverse reactions: see full labeling.

Children

Not established.

Orserdu Warnings/Precautions

Warnings/Precautions

Risk for dyslipidemia. Monitor lipid profile prior to initiation and periodically during treatment. Hepatic impairment (severe): avoid; (moderate): reduce dose. Embryo-fetal toxicity. Advise females of reproductive potential and males (w. female partners) to use effective contraception during and for 1 week after the last dose. Pregnancy: exclude status prior to initiation. Nursing mothers: not recommended (during and for 1 week after the last dose).

Orserdu Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

The time to achieve peak plasma concentration (tmax) ranges from 1 to 4 hours. The elacestrant oral bioavailability is ~10%. 

Distribution

The estimated apparent volume of distribution is 5800L. Plasma protein binding of elacestrant is >99% and independent of concentration.

Metabolism

Primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP2A6 and CYP2C9.

Elimination

Fecal (82%), renal (7.5%). Half-life: 30 to 50 hours.

Orserdu Interactions

Interactions

Potentiated by moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, fluconazole, itraconazole); avoid. Antagonized by moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers (eg, efavirenz, rifampin); avoid. Potentiates P-gp or BCRP substrates (eg, digoxin, rosuvastatin); reduce dose of substrates when concomitant Orserdu.

Orserdu Adverse Reactions

Adverse Reactions

Musculoskeletal pain, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, decreased appetite, diarrhea, headache, constipation, abdominal pain, hot flush, dyspepsia, lab abnormalities (increased cholesterol, increased AST/ALT, increased triglycerides, decreased hemoglobin,  decreased sodium, increased creatinine).

Orserdu Clinical Trials

Clinical Trials

The approval was based on data from the randomized, open-label, active-controlled, multicenter phase 3 EMERALD study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03778931), which included 478 postmenopausal women and men with ER+, HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer with disease progression following at least 1 line of endocrine therapy; 228 patients had ESR1 mutations.

Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either elacestrant 345mg orally once daily (n=239), or investigator’s choice of endocrine therapy (n=239) which included fulvestrant (n=166) or an aromatase inhibitor (n=73; anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane). The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS).

Among the 228 patients with ESR1 mutations, the median PFS was 3.8 months (95% CI, 2.2-7.3) in the elacestrant arm and 1.9 months (95% CI, 1.9-2.1) in the fulvestrant or aromatase inhibitor arm (hazard ratio [HR], 0.55 [95% CI, 0.39-0.77]; 2-sided P =.0005).

In an exploratory analysis of PFS in patients without ESR1 mutations (n=250), elacestrant was found to reduce the risk of progression or death by 14% (HR, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.63-1.19), indicating that improvement was attributed to results seen in the population with ESR1 mutations.
