The European Commission's approval comes on the heels of the Medicinal Products for Human Use within the EMA's positive feedback given in July 2023. This validation positions ORSERDU as the premier and unique therapy explicitly recommended for managing ER+, HER2- tumors embodying ESR1 mutations.
ESR1 mutations occur due to the exposure to endocrine therapy, appearing in nearly 40% of ER+, HER2- mBC inflicted patients. These are a popular catalyst for resistance to the standard endocrine treatment, turning the tumors concealing these mutations more challenging to address until now.
"Patients suffering from metastatic breast cancer have long sought substantial, bearable alternatives that would treat their ailment while allowing them to dedicate their energies to things holding importance for them," asserted Elcin Barker Ergun, the Chief Executive Officer of the Menarini Group. "Our achievement lies in offering a cutting-edge breast cancer treatment that delivers effectiveness through a daily pill, signaling the first breakthrough in endocrine therapy in close to twenty years."
"This approval paves the way for us to have an unparalleled treatment alternative that directly counters the mutations that render this kind of breast cancer more challenging to manage, serving as a beacon of hope for our patients and their kin," expressed Giuseppe Curigliano, MD, PhD, a Medical Oncology Professor at the University of Milano, and the Director of the Early Drug Development division at the European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Italy.
