Overview
11 DESCRIPTION Elacestrant hydrochloride is the salt form of elacestrant, an estrogen receptor antagonist, that has the chemical name: (6R)-6-(2-(N-(4-(2-(ethylamino)ethyl)benzyl)-N-ethylamino)-4-methoxyphenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ol dihydrochloride. Elacestrant hydrochloride is the dihydrochloride salt and the molecular formula is C 30 H 38 N 2 O 2 .2HCL.
Mechanism of Action
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Elacestrant is an estrogen receptor antagonist that binds to estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα). In ER-positive (ER+) HER2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer cells, elacestrant inhibited 17β-estradiol mediated cell proliferation at concentrations inducing degradation of ERα protein mediated through proteasomal pathway. Elacestrant demonstrated in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity including in ER+ HER2- breast cancer models resistant to fulvestrant and cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors and those harboring estrogen receptor 1 gene ( ESR1 ) mutations. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Elacestrant exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamics have not been fully characterized.
Indications
- 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ORSERDU 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. ORSERDU is an estrogen receptor antagonist indicated for: treatment of postmenopausal women or adult men, with ER-positive, HER2-negative, ESR1 -mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer with disease progression following at least one line of endocrine therapy ( 1 )

( 2.3 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for treatment of ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer with ORSERDU based on the presence of ESR1 mutation(s) in plasma specimen using an FDA-approved test [see Indications and Usage ( 1 ) and Clinical...
Contraindications

Side Effects
- 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Dyslipidemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] The most common (>10%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, of ORSERDU were musculoskeletal pain, nausea, increased cholesterol, increased AST, increased triglycerides, fatigue, decreased hemoglobin, vomiting, increased ALT, decreased sodium, increased creatinine, decreased appetite, diarrhea, headache, constipation, abdominal pain, hot flush, and dyspepsia.

Interactions
- 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers : Avoid concomitant use with ORSERDU ( 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors : Avoid concomitant use with ORSERDU ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on ORSERDU Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors with ORSERDU. Elacestrant is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use of a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor increase elacestrant exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions of ORSERDU.
