Lessons From EMERALD: Single-Agent Elacestrant for HR+/HER2– Metastatic Breast Cancer

Author(s)Hope S. Rugo, MD

Hope S. Rugo, MD, FASCO, discusses how elacestrant, an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader, demonstrated superior progression-free survival compared with standard endocrine therapy in patients with ER+/HER2– metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who had previously received CDK4/6 inhibitors in the phase 3 EMERALD trial.
