Sermonix Pharmaceuticals Receives U.S. Patent for Lasofoxifene as Method for Treating Aromatase-Resistant ER+ Breast Cancer in the Absence of ESR1 Mutations
“This new patent signals Sermonix’s continued momentum toward the broader study of and potential use of lasofoxifene beyond that in the ESR1-mutated setting, including use in earlier lines of therapy in patients with wild-type (WT) ER,” said Dr. David Portman, Sermonix founder and chief executive officer. “There is great medical need for efficacious and well-tolerated new therapies for this large population of breast cancer patients with WT ER who recur in the adjuvant setting or progress in the advanced setting on aromatase inhibitors. We look forward to investigating lasofoxifene’s potential as an effective therapy option for all hormone-treatment resistant breast tumors.”
