background
In ER+/HER2- mBCESR1 mutations are a driver of disease progression and can emerge during 1L treatment with ET1,2*
Up to 40% of patients acquire an ESR1 mutation2†

Tumor biology can change over time as it adapts to selective pressure of prior treatment4

While other mutations are primarily present before mBC diagnosis, ESR1 mutations may develop as a direct result of prior ET treatment, leading to poorer outcomes1,2,5-9

*Higher risk of disease progression for patients with ESR1-mutated, ER+/HER2- mBC based on data from 4 references: Clatot et al prospectively compared the risk of early progression according to circulating ESR1 mutations, CA-15.3, and cell-free DNA in patients with mBC treated with a 1L AI; Chandarlapaty et al conducted a secondary analysis of a phase 3 clinical trial comparing exemestane with exemestane + everolimus in patients with ER+/HER2- mBC who progressed following a nonsteroidal AI; Turner et al conducted a combined analysis of the phase 3 SoFEA and EFECT trials of fulvestrant vs exemestane to assess the clinical utility of baseline ESR1 ctDNA; Zundelevich et al conducted a retrospective cohort study of 130 archival tumor samples from 103 patients with ER+ breast cancer who were treated with ET prior to local or metastatic recurrence.7,10-12

ORSERDU in 2L
  • Test for ESR1m at each progression if not detected previously, as ESR1 mutations may emerge upon repeated exposure to endocrine therapy13,15,16

  • Select patients for treatment with ORSERDU based on the presence of an ESR1 mutation in plasma specimen (ctDNA) using an FDA-approved test13

  • ctDNA can provide a more complete biomarker profile through liquid biopsy14,17

  • Due to their emergent nature, ESR1 mutations are rarely found in primary tumors—testing archival tissue is considered inadequate18

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.

  • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, ORSERDU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ORSERDU and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ORSERDU and for 1 week after the last dose.

Adverse Reactions

  • Serious adverse reactions occurred in 12% of patients who received ORSERDU. Serious adverse reactions in >1% of patients who received ORSERDU were musculoskeletal pain (1.7%) and nausea (1.3%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.7% of patients who received ORSERDU, including cardiac arrest, septic shock, diverticulitis, and unknown cause (one patient each).

  • The most common adverse reactions (≥10%), including laboratory abnormalities, of ORSERDU were musculoskeletal pain (41%), nausea (35%), increased cholesterol (30%), increased AST (29%), increased triglycerides (27%), fatigue (26%), decreased hemoglobin (26%), vomiting (19%), increased ALT (17%), decreased sodium (16%), increased creatinine (16%), decreased appetite (15%), diarrhea (13%), headache (12%), constipation (12%), abdominal pain (11%), hot flush (11%), and dyspepsia (10%).

Drug Interactions

  • Concomitant use with CYP3A4 inducers and/or inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors with ORSERDU. Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers with ORSERDU.

Use in Specific Populations

  • Lactation: Advise lactating women to not breastfeed during treatment with ORSERDU and for 1 week after the last dose.

  • Hepatic Impairment: Avoid use of ORSERDU in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C). Reduce the dose of ORSERDU in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B).

The safety and effectiveness of ORSERDU in pediatric patients have not been established.

ORSERDU is available as 345 mg tablets and 86 mg tablets.

INDICATION

ORSERDU (elacestrant) is indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal women or adult men with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer with disease progression following at least one line of endocrine therapy.
