ORSERDU (elacestrant hydrochloride)

Estrogen Receptor Antagonists Genetically Validated
Priority Review Fast Track
Oncology Approved 2023-01-27

Orserdu is used for postmenopausal women and adult men with advanced or metastatic breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative. It specifically helps patients whose tumors have an ESR1 mutation and have progressed after at least one previous line of endocrine therapy. This medication provides a therapeutic option for managing cancer that has continued to grow despite earlier hormonal treatments.

How ORSERDU Works

This drug works by binding to estrogen receptor-alpha to block the signals that drive cancer cell proliferation. It also triggers the degradation of the estrogen receptor protein through the proteasomal pathway, which helps stop tumor growth. This mechanism is effective even in cancer cells that have developed resistance to other common treatments or carry specific ESR1 mutations.

ORSERDU Target & Pathway

Pro

Target

HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) Growth Factor Receptor

A receptor tyrosine kinase that promotes cell growth and division. Approximately 20% of breast cancers overexpress HER2, leading to aggressive tumor growth. Targeting HER2 blocks these growth signals and can trigger immune-mediated destruction of cancer cells.

Pathway Context

HER2 forms dimers with other HER family members to activate growth signaling

HER3 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 3)
EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) receptor

A receptor that triggers cell growth, proliferation, and survival when activated. Mutations or overexpression of EGFR drive many cancers, particularly lung cancer. Blocking EGFR stops the growth signals that fuel tumor progression.
