FDA Approves Eli Lilly's Drug For Advanced Breast Cancer - Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY)

Imlunestrant reduces progression or death risk by 38% in ESR1-mutated metastatic breast cancer after endocrine therapy failure, based on EMBER-3 trial results.

  • The FDA authorized Eli Lilly's oral medication Inluriyo on Thursday for adults with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread and carries ESR1 genetic mutations.
  • The approval followed results from the EMBER-3 trial showing Inluriyo reduced disease progression or death risk by 38% versus standard endocrine therapies in ESR1-mutated patients.
  • Inluriyo delivers a median progression-free survival of 5.5 months compared to 3.8 months with endocrine therapy and joins Menarini's Orserdu as FDA-approved oral SERDs for this mutation.
  • Jacob Van Naarden called the approval an important step toward innovative all-oral treatments, while Komal Jhaveri highlighted it as a meaningful option for patients with treatment-resistant ESR1-mutated disease.
  • The therapy offers a new oral treatment with manageable side effects, but its full impact on breast cancer care remains to be seen as ongoing studies explore use in early breast cancer.
