2025 marked a real shift in breast cancer 💜

Across early stage and metastatic disease, studies are pointing toward more targeted, more personalized and potentially less toxic approaches, with progress seen across multiple subtypes 🙏

Breast cancer is complex and access and individual circumstances matter. But 2025 has shown that progress is happening, and it’s accelerating 🙌

This month we’ll be breaking down what these updates mean and who they may apply to so stay tuned 💜

Make sure to follow along and comment with any questions you’d like us to cover 💬

Metastatic Mondays: an important update for metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer💜

The EMBER-3 trial looked at the use of imlunestrant (a tablet SERD) in the treatment of ER+/ HER2- metastatic breast cancer🧑‍⚕️

The trial found⬇️

🔸Patients with an ESR1 mutation on imlunestrant alone went 5.5 months without the cancer growing or spreading, compared to 3.8 months on standard hormone therapy📈

🔸Longer follow-up showed most patients on imlunestrant alone with an ESR1 mutation lived 34.5 months, compared to 23.1 months (this result isn't statistically significant yet)📊

🔸All patients (with and without ESR1 mutation) on imlunestrant and abemaciclib went around 10.9 months without the cancer growing or spreading, compared to 5.5 months on standard treatment💊

🔸It also delayed time to chemotherapy by 27.8 months, compared to 15.5 months on standard treatment⏰

This could mean an all-oral chemotherapy free option after progression on hormone therapy. Imlunestrant alone is currently FDA approved in the US✅

Are you on trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) treatment?🤷‍♀️

Enhertu is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) used to treat certain types of metastatic breast cancer💊

It’s made up of👇

🔸Trastuzumab antibody: targets and binds to the
HER2 protein in cancer cells

🔸Chemotherapy deruxtecan: enters the cancer cell, causing cell death☠️

🔸Chemical linker: this binds the antibody and chemotherapy, and is cut by enzymes at cancer cells, releasing the deruxtecan drug

Enhertu can cause difficult side effects🤕 Tracking them can help you to understand your normal and get the support you need📲

Metastatic Mondays: an important update for metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer💜

Elacestrant combinations in are being tested in metastatic HR+/ HER2- breast cancer after the cancer has grown on hormone therapy💊

The phase 2 ELEVATE trial was for people whose cancer had grown on hormone therapy, many had already been treated with CDK 4/6 inhibitors👩‍⚕️

Elacestrant was combined with everolimus or with abemaciclib. The results showed⬇️

🔸Both combinations kept the cancer under control for months – Around 8.3 months with elacestrant and everolimus & around 14.3 months with elacestrant and abemaciclib

🔸These benefits were seen in tumors with and without ESR1 mutations

This points to a new oral hormone therapy ‘backbone’ that could help delay the need for IV chemo or ADC for some people with metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer🙏💊
