The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

imlunestrant. An orally available selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, imlunestrant specifically targets and binds to the estrogen receptor (ER) and induces a conformational change that results in ER degradation. This prevents ER-mediated signaling and inhibits both the growth and survival of ER-expressing cancer cells. NCI Drug Dictionary

Treatments listed in the registry
