                Pregnancy & Lactation

                Pregnancy

                Based on animal studies and its mechanism of action, elacestrant can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant females

                Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential before initiating

                Animal studies

                • Oral administration of elacestrant to pregnant rats during organogenesis caused embryo-fetal mortality and structural abnormalities at maternal exposures below the recommended dose based on AUC

                Contraception

                • Advise females of reproductive potential (including partners of men being treated with elacestrant) to use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week after last dose

                Infertility

                • Based on findings from animal studies, may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential

                Lactation

                Data are unavailable on presence of drug in human milk, effects on milk production, or breastfed children

                Advise lactating females to not breastfeed during treatment and for 1 week after last dose

                Pregnancy Categories

                A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

                B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

                C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

                D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

                X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

                NA: Information not available.

                Mechanism of Action

                Estrogen receptor antagonist that binds to estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα)

                In ER-positive (ER+) HER2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer cells, elacestrant inhibited 17β-estradiol mediated cell proliferation at concentrations inducing degradation of ERα protein mediated through proteasomal pathway

                Elacestrant demonstrated in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity including in ER+ HER2- breast cancer models resistant to fulvestrant and cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors and those harboring estrogen receptor 1 gene (ESR1) mutations

                • Taking 345 mg with a high-fat meal (800-1000 calories, 50% fat) increased Cmax by 42% and AUC by 22% compared with fasted administration

                Distribution

                Half-life: 30-50 hr

                Clearance: 186 L/hr
