Virginia Kaklamani, MD, a professor of medicine at UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses new results from the EMERALD trial of the novel selective estrogen reuptake degrader (SERD) elacestrant presented at the 2022 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (GS3-01). The study found a difference in efficacy based on how long patients with metastatic breast cancer took CDK4/6 inhibitors prior to starting elacestrant, with longer CDK4/6 inhibition associated with longer progression-free survival on the SERD. Dr. Kaklamani also talks about other research on novel SERDs presented at the meeting.
Dr. Kaklamani reported relationships with Pfizer, Gilead, Genentech, Exact Sciences, Novartis, AstraZeneca, Daiichi Sankyo, Seagen, Puma, Menarini, and Eisai.
