Elacestrant

NCT03778931 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a large randomized trial comparing elacestrant with active standard-of-care treatment, but it was open-label rather than double-blind. The primary progression-free survival endpoints, assessed by blinded imaging review, were statistically significantly better with elacestrant in both ESR1-mutant and all participants, but the lack of participant and investigator blinding limits the strength of the evidence.
