AstraZeneca’s Camizestrant Shows Promising Results in Advanced Breast Cancer Trial

AstraZeneca ( (GB:AZN) ) has shared an update.

AstraZeneca announced positive interim results from the SERENA-6 Phase III trial, where its drug camizestrant, combined with CDK4/6 inhibitors, showed significant improvement in progression-free survival for patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with emergent ESR1 mutations. This marks the first time a next-generation oral SERD has demonstrated such benefits in the first-line setting, potentially shifting clinical practice and offering a new standard-of-care for these patients. The trial’s design, using ctDNA to guide treatment switches, highlights a novel approach in managing endocrine resistance, with implications for future breast cancer therapies.
