Update on phase II study evaluating amcenestrant in ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer.- Sanofi
The Phase II AMEERA-3 clinical trial evaluating amcenestrant, an investigational optimized oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), did not meet its primary endpoint of improving progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by an independent central review.
The trial evaluated amcenestrant as monotherapy compared to endocrine treatment of physician’s choice in patients with locally advanced or metastatic estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer who progressed on or after hormonal therapies. No new safety signals were identified and the safety profile of amcenestrant in AMEERA-3 was consistent with earlier studies.
Sanofi will continue to assess data from the AMEERA-3 trial and work with investigators on the publication of the full results. The ongoing clinical trial program for amcenestrant continues as planned, including AMEERA-5 and AMEERA-6.
AMEERA-3 was an open-label, Phase II randomized trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of amcenestrant as a monotherapy compared to single-agent endocrine treatment of the physician’s choice in patients with ER+, HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with prior exposure to hormonal therapies. The primary objective of AMEERA-3 was to determine whether amcenestrant improved PFS assessed by an independent central review compared to endocrine monotherapy. The key secondary efficacy endpoint was overall survival and other secondary endpoints were objective response rate, disease control rate, clinical benefit rate and duration of response. The study also compared the overall safety profile in the two treatment arms and evaluated health-related quality of life in the two treatment arms based on patient-reported outcomes.
