Panelists discuss how real-world data from the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium demonstrated that elacestrant's performance in actual clinical practice even exceeded the promising results from the clinical trial.

The conversation shifts to real-world data and experiences with elacestrant, presenting insights from the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Rikal shares findings from the Komodo Health research database, which demonstrated promising real-world progression-free survival outcomes. The real-world data showed a time-to-next treatment of 6.43 months and a progression-free survival of 6.8 months overall, with even more impressive results of 9.4 months for patients without prior fulvestrant exposure.
The panelists discuss the excitement surrounding combination therapy trials for elacestrant, highlighting several ongoing studies exploring its potential in various combinations. These include trials combining elacestrant with antiandrogens, CDK 4/6 inhibitors, and other targeted therapies. Marti-Smith expresses optimism about these combination approaches, believing that targeting different areas might provide more comprehensive cancer treatment and potentially improve patient outcomes.
The discussion also explores innovative trial designs, such as monitoring for estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) mutation emergence and proactively switching therapies. Traina mentions trials such as EMBER 3 and SERENA that aim to track circulating tumor DNA for ESR1 mutations and implement strategic therapy switches. These approaches represent a forward-thinking method of personalized medicine, potentially allowing patients to remain on effective treatments for longer periods by addressing resistance mechanisms as they develop.

Addition of Inavolisib Improves OS in PIK3CA-Mutant, HR+/HER2– Breast Cancer
May 23rd 2025The phase 3 INAVO120 trial showed that overall survival significantly improved with the addition of inavolisib to palbociclib and fulvestrant in PIK3CA-mutant, hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative, endocrine-resistant advanced breast cancer.
