UK: Enobosarm Has Antitumor Activity in ER-Positive, HER2-Negative Advanced Breast Cancer
The oral selective androgen receptor modulator enobosarm has antitumor activity and can yield clinical benefit in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer, according to a study published online Feb. 8 in The Lancet Oncology.
Carlo Palmieri, M.B.B.S., Ph.D., from The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust in Liverpool, England, and colleagues examined the activity and safety of enobosarm in women with ER-positive, HER2-negative, and androgen receptor (AR)-positive disease. Postmenopausal women with previously treated ER-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer were enrolled in a randomized trial conducted at 35 centers in nine countries. Participants were randomly allocated to receive 9 mg or 18 mg of oral enobosarm daily (72 and 64 patients, respectively). The evaluable population included 50 and 52 patients, respectively).
