Target
Estrogen signaling plays an important role in organ development and growth. In certain cancers, abnormal estrogen signaling via the estrogen receptor is a component of tumor growth.5 Disruption of estrogen signaling by selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) is one of the treatment options for patients with estrogen-receptor-positive (ER+) cancers.
Molecule
Imlunestrant is an orally available SERD that suppresses estrogen signaling and subsequently inhibits cell proliferation in ER-expressing tumor models.6,7
Clinical Development
Imlunestrant is being investigated in clinical trials in patients with ER+ breast cancer or endometrial cancer.
