Amcenestrant is an optimized oral selective ER degrader (SERD), which is being investigated in the AMEERA-3 (NCT04059484), an open-label phase II randomized study. In this touchONCOLOGY interview, Dr Sara Tolaney (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA) discusses the phase II study, investigating amcenestrant versus endocrine treatment of physician’s choice in patients with endocrine-resistant ER+/HER2− advanced breast cancer.
The abstract entitled ‘AMEERA-3, a phase II study of amcenestrant (AMC) versus endocrine treatment of physician’s choice (TPC) in patients (pts) with endocrine-resistant ER+/HER2− advanced breast cancer (aBC)‘ Abstract LBA14, was presented at European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2022.
