Camizestrant + CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) for the treatment of emergent ESR1 mutations during first-line (1L) endocrine-based therapy (ET) and ahead of disease progression in patients (pts) with HR+/HER2– advanced breast cancer (ABC): Phase 3, double-blind ctDNA-guided SERENA-6 trial. (ASCO 2025) - P3 | " Pts with HR+/HER2– ABC who had received ≥6 months of 1L AI (anastrozole/letrozole) + CDK4/6i (abemaciclib/palbociclib/ribociclib) were enrolled and had ctDNA tested for ESR1m every 2–3 months, coinciding with routine imaging. Camizestrant + CDK4/6i guided by emergence of ESR1m during 1L AI + CDK4/6i in pts with HR+/HER2– ABC resulted in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS. SERENA-6 is the first global Phase 3 trial to demonstrate clinical utility of using ctDNA to detect and treat emerging resistance, ahead of disease progression. These findings represent a potential new treatment strategy to optimize and improve 1L patient outcomes."

Adjuvant ribociclib (RIB) plus nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI) in patients (pts) with HR+/HER2− early breast cancer (EBC): NATALEE 5-year outcomes (ESMO 2025) - "Methods Pts with HR+/HER2− EBC were randomized 1:1 to RIB (400 mg/d; 3 weeks on/1 week off for 3 y) + NSAI (letrozole 2.5 mg/d or anastrozole 1 mg/d for 5 y) or NSAI alone. Men and premenopausal women received goserelin...Conclusions In this 5-year landmark analysis with mature efficacy data, RIB + NSAI reduced the risk of invasive and distant disease recurrence compared with NSAI alone, including in pts with high-risk N0 disease. A positive trend for OS in favor of RIB + NSAI continues to emerge."

Giredestrant vs standard-of-care endocrine therapy as adjuvant treatment for patients with estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer: Results from the global Phase III lidERA Breast Cancer trial (SABCS 2025) - P3 | "Giredestrant, a next-generation oral selective estrogen receptor antagonist and degrader (SERD), was shown to be more potent than other SERDs (Liang 2021; Bardia 2023) and demonstrated superior antiproliferative activity vs anastrozole in the neoadj coopERA BC trial (Hurvitz 2023)... Pts with Stage I-III ER+ HER2- eBC were randomized 1:1 to giredestrant 30 mg oral daily (with an LHRH agonist in pre- and peri-menopausal women, and men) or standard-of-care ET (tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitor) for 5 years (yr)... lidERA BC is the first Phase III trial to demonstrate benefit with an oral SERD in eBC. Giredestrant tx resulted in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful IDFS improvement vs standard-of-care ET in ER+, HER2- eBC. OS trended in favor of the giredestrant arm, and DRFI was improved vs standard-of-care ET."

Adjuvant ribociclib plus nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor therapy in patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative early breast cancer: 5-year follow-up of NATALEE efficacy outcomes and updated overall survival. (PubMed, ESMO Open) - "This prespecified 5-year follow-up of efficacy outcomes from NATALEE demonstrated that ribociclib + NSAI continued to reduce the risk of recurrence beyond the 3-year treatment window, supporting its use as adjuvant therapy in patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative EBC. An ongoing positive trend for improved OS in favor of ribociclib + NSAI was observed."

Treatment of ER-positive breast cancer with FDA-approved aromatase inhibitors. (PubMed, Cancer Treat Res Commun) - "The current FDA-approved SERMs include tamoxifen, toremifene, and raloxifene, while the only SERD that has been approved to date is fulvestrant. Various generations of AIs are available for the treatment of hormone-positive breast cancers, including exemestane, letrozole, and anastrozole. Aromatase inhibitors are often utilized following relapse with therapies such as tamoxifen. Herein, we focus on and review the major FDA-approved aromatase inhibitors used to treat ER-positive breast cancer."

Postoperative Adjuvant Anastrozole for 10 or 5 Years in Patients With Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer: AERAS, a Randomized Multicenter Open-Label Phase III Trial. (PubMed, J Clin Oncol) - "Continuing adjuvant anastrozole for an additional 5 years after 5 years of initial treatment with anastrozole or tamoxifen followed by anastrozole was well tolerated and improved DFS. Although no difference in overall survival was observed as in other trials, extended anastrozole therapy could be one treatment choice in postmenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer."

Updated results and an exploratory analysis of ESR1m circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) dynamics from SERENA-6, a phase 3 trial of camizestrant (CAMI) + CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) for emergent ESR1 mutations (ESR1m) during first-line (1L) endocrine-based therapy and ahead of disease progression in patients (pts) with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC) (SABCS 2025) - "Methods SERENA-6, a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trial, enrolled pts with HR+/HER2- ABC who had received ≥6 months of 1L AI (anastrozole/letrozole) + CDK4/6i (palbociclib/ribociclib/abemaciclib). No new safety signals were observed. These results further support an early switch to CAMI + CDK4/6i during 1L therapy to delay disease progression."

Hepatic steatosis and fibrosis are associated with metabolic factors rather than endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients. (PubMed, Transl Gastroenterol Hepatol) - "Patients were divided into four groups: no hormone therapy (n=55, 32.2%), tamoxifen only (n=72, 42.1%), anastrozole only (n=16, 9.4%), and both drugs (n=28, 16.4%). Metabolic factors were independently associated with SLD development and progression, regardless of hormone therapy exposure. Patients in continuous use of endocrine therapy had no dynamic changes in liver stiffness after 24 months of follow-up."

SEVERE SHORT STATURE IN AN ADOLESCENT MALE WITH LARON SYNDROME DUE TO A NOVEL GHR VARIANT: INITIAL RESPONSE TO RECOMBINANT IGF-1 AND AROMATASE-INHIBITOR TREATMENT (WRMC 2026) - "An aromatase-inhibitor was added (initially letrozole, then anastrozole due to high T) to delay epiphyseal fusion and augment growth potential. This unique case of severe LS involves a novel homozygous missense variant in the GHR affecting the EC GH binding domain and highlights the potential of meaningful linear growth in response to combined rhIGF-1 and aromatase-inhibitor treatment. Further follow-up is needed to evaluate the full effect of treatment on adult height. The presence of normal GHBP is unusual in LS but has rarely been seen in GHR variants involving EC binding domain."

The prognostic and predictive value of the luminal-like subtype in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer: an analysis of the DATA trial. (PubMed, ESMO Open) - P3 | "In patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, the luminal B-like subtype was associated with a significantly worse prognosis when compared with the luminal A-like subtype. Extended anastrozole therapy halved the risk of DR and BCSM in patients with luminal A-like tumours, whereas no effect was seen in patients with luminal B-like tumours."

Surgical outcomes in the ALTERNATE trial (Alliance A011106) -a randomized phase 3 neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) trial in postmenopausal women with clinical stage II/III estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and HER2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (BC) (SABCS 2025) - P3 | "In this analysis we assess the surgeons' approach in the context of NET. The ALTERNATE trial is a phase III study that randomized postmenopausal patients (pts) with clinical stage II/III ER+ HER2- BC to receive neoadjuvant anastrozole (A), fulvestrant (F), or both for 6 mos. With NET, 69.9% of pts achieved BCS, including 43.8% deemed ineligible pre-NET. Given the low rate of pCR to NET, there should not be the expectation of pCR in +LNs. Based on the procedures performed in pts with +SLNs, it appears that surgeons were applying ACOSOG Z0011 criteria for pts having BCS, but were less likely to omit ALND for +LN in pts having mastectomy."
