Camizestrant demonstrated highly statistically significant improvement in PFS in 1L advanced HR+ve breast cancer with an emergent ESR1 tumour mutation in SERENA-6 Ph 3 trial
Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology Haematology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “These impressive results demonstrate the versatility of camizestrant in combination with all the widely approved CDK4/6 inhibitors to provide a well-tolerated new potential treatment option in the first-line setting for the one in three patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer whose tumours develop ESR1 mutations during treatment with an aromatase inhibitor in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. This critical read-out moves us one step closer to realising the potential of camizestrant to become a new standard-of-care as we look to shift the treatment paradigm and establish this new endocrine therapy backbone in HR-positive breast cancer.”

“Between 2017 and 2023, the socioeconomic burden of HER2-positive breast cancer in ten major economies was nearly $590 billion, projected to increase to nearly $1,000 billion by 2032,” said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., Roche’s Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Product Development. “At-home treatment may help alleviate the pressure
Richard Saynor, CEO of Sandoz, said: “The global burden of cancer continues to grow and the potential to address unmet patient needs has never been greater. This agreement offers us the chance to reach many more millions of patients, while helping to drive the long-term sustainability of healthcare systems.”
“Beyond the second-line monotherapy opportunity, we and our partners at Pfizer have removed plans for a Phase 3 first-line combination trial with atirmociclib, as well as the planned Phase 3 second-line combination trial with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, from our joint development plan,” continued Dr. Houston. “This decision was made following
“The interim PFS analysis results demonstrated that, compared to the current standard treatment, KN026 in combination with chemotherapy significantly improved PFS, reduced the risk of disease progression or death, and showed a trend toward OS benefit. Detailed data from this study will be presented at an upcoming international academic conference.”
