How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (ORSERDU). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Elacestrant is an 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.

Half-life30–50 h
Mostly cleared after≈ 8 daysfive half-lives — our arithmetic
How the body breaks it down

Elacestrant is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP2A6 and CYP2C9.

With food

Effect of Food Administration of ORSERDU 345 mg with a high-fat meal (800 to 1000 calories, 50% fat) increased Cmax by 42% and AUC by 22% compared to fasted administration.
