PRIMARY ENDPOINT IN EMERALD: PFS IN PATIENTS WITH ESR1-MUTATED mBC1

PFS in Patients Taking ORSERDU™ (elacestrant) vs SOC Endocrine Monotherapy
  • Absolute difference in mPFS of 1.9 months between SOC and ORSERDU arms1

  • In EMERALD, 73% in the SOC arm were treated with fulvestrant3

  • In a post hoc analysis, patients on fulvestrant achieved 1.9 months mPFS, while patients on ORSERDU achieved 3.8 months3

  • Post hoc analysis data are observational in nature. There was no prespecified statistical procedure controlling for type 1 error.

  • Due to low bioavailability, fulvestrant is only available as an IM injection5,6

  • Fulvestrant is not indicated to treat ESR1-mutated disease5

Selected Important Safety Information

Warnings and Precautions

  • Dyslipidemia: Hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia occurred in patients taking ORSERDU at an incidence of 30% and 27%, respectively. The incidence of Grade 3 and 4 hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia were 0.9% and 2.2%, respectively. Monitor lipid profile prior to starting and periodically while taking ORSERDU.

Please see additional Important Safety Information below. Please see full Prescribing Information.


In ESR1-mutated, ER+/HER2- mBC following progression on ETPost hoc analysis: ORSERDU showed longer mPFS for patients previously treated with ET + a CDK4/6i for 12 months or more vs SOC4*

POST HOC ANALYSIS: mPFS IN PATIENTS WITH ≥12 MONTHS PRIOR ET + CDK4/6i4

mPFS in Patients Taking ORSERDU™ (elacestrant) vs SOC Endocrine Monotherapy
  • Absolute difference in mPFS of 6.7 months between SOC and ORSERDU arms4

The results of these post hoc analyses of mPFS by duration of CDK4/6i are observational in nature and should be interpreted with caution. There was no prespecified statistical procedure controlling for type 1 error. All patients in the study had prior ET + CDK4/6i.
