Open-Label, Phase II, Multicenter Study of Lasofoxifene Plus Abemaciclib for Treating Women With Metastatic ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer and an ESR1 Mutation After Disease Progression on Prior Therapies: ELAINE 2

Open-Label, Phase II, Multicenter Study of Lasofoxifene Plus Abemaciclib for Treating Women With Metastatic ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer and an ESR1 Mutation After Disease Progression on Prior Therapies: ELAINE 2

Lasofoxifene plus abemaciclib had an acceptable safety profile, was well tolerated, and exhibited meaningful antitumor activity in women with ESR1-mutated, ER+/HER2- mBC after disease progression on prior CDK4/6i. Observed decreases...

Lasofoxifene plus abemaciclib led to meaningful PFS, ORR, and CBR in ESR1-mutant mBC. Lasofoxifene plus abemaciclib was active for ESR1-mutated breast tumors that progressed with ET and CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Mechanism of CDK4/6 Inhibitor Resistance in Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer and Alternative Treatment Strategies

Mechanism of CDK4/6 Inhibitor Resistance in Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer and Alternative Treatment Strategies

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38030174/

Breast cancer (BC) is a common malignancy in women, with hormone receptor (HR)-positive subtype responsible for approximately 70% of cases. Currently, patients with metastatic HR-positive BC rely on endocrine therapy...

CDK4/6 inhibitors are currently the effectual standard therapy in combination with endocrine therapy in HR-positive breast cancer. Despite that, issues regarding resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors in a clinical setting is an inevitable issue.

Machine Learning-Based Models for the Prediction of Breast Cancer Recurrence Risk

Source : https://bmcmedinformdecismak.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12911-023-02377-z

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy diagnosed in women worldwide. The prevalence and incidence of breast cancer is increasing every year; therefore, early diagnosis along with suitable relapse detection...

CA125 expression levels affected the risk of recurrence, with higher expression levels associated with a higher five-year risk of recurrence and a shorter progression-free survival in patients.
