Elacestrant in metastatic breast cancer: Is the “standard of care” meeting standard requirements?
The EMERALD trial was an open label phase 3 trial evaluating elacestrant, the first oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), as compared to “standard of care”, in ER+/HER2- (hormone receptor positive, no HER2 overexpression) advanced or metastatic breast cancer.The EMERALD trial restricted...
