A global registrational study, the third Evaluation of Lasofoxifene in ESR1 Mutations (ELAINE) trial is assessing the efficacy of oral lasofoxifene and Eli Lilly and Company’s CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib (Verzenio®) compared to fulvestrant and abemaciclib in 400 pre- and post-menopausal subjects with locally advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer with an ESR1 mutation.
“Sermonix looks forward to updating our peers at ASCO 2024 about the progress of ELAINE-3, which is actively enrolling in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Israel,” said Dr. David Portman, Sermonix founder and chief executive officer. “In previous trials, lasofoxifene demonstrated compelling anti-tumor activity against tumors with increasingly prevalent ESR1 mutations and potential benefit on quality of life with respect to vaginal and sexual health. We are excited to gain a greater understand of lasofoxifene’s potential as ELAINE-3 progresses, and hopefully bring it one important step closer to patients.”
