How imlunestrant is dosed

From the FDA label for Inluriyo (application NDA218881). Other imlunestrant products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.

Select patients for treatment based on the presence of ESR1 mutations. ( 2.1 ) The recommended dosage is 400 mg orally once daily, on an empty stomach. ( 2.2 ) Reduce the dose in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment ( 2.4 , 8.6 ) Dosage modifications may be required. ( 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for treatment of ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer with INLURIYO based on the presence of ESR1 mutation(s) in a plasma specimen using an FDA-approved test [see Indications and Usage ( 1 ) and Clinical Studies (14.1)] . Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of ESR1 mutations in breast cancer is available at: https://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics . 2.2 Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended dosage of INLURIYO is 400 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Take on an empty stomach at least 2 hours before food, or 1 hour after food [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Take INLURIYO tablets at approximately the same time daily. Swallow the tablets whole. Do not split, crush, or chew the tablets. Pre/perimenopausal women and men should receive a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH) according to current clinical practice standards. If patient misses a dose by 6 or more hours or vomits, instruct the patient to take the next dose the following day…

Imlunestrant side effects

The most common (incidence ≥10%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities were: hemoglobin decreased, musculoskeletal pain, calcium decreased, neutrophils decreased, AST increased, fatigue, diarrhea, ALT increased, triglycerides increased, nausea, platelets decreased, constipation, cholesterol increased, and abdominal pain. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Eli Lilly and Company at 1-800-LillyRx (1-800-545-5979) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of INLURIYO was evaluated in 651 patients with ER+, HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with endocrine therapy with or without a prior CDK4/6 inhibitor in EMBER-3 [see Clinical Studies (14.1)] . Patients received INLURIYO 400 mg orally, once daily (n=327), or standard of care (n=324) consisting of either fulvestrant (n=292) or exemestane (n=32). Among patients who were treated with INLURIYO, the median duration of exposure was 5.6 months (range: 0.2 to 28.6 months) in EMBER-3. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 10% of patients who received INLURIYO.…

None. None. ( 4 )

Imlunestrant drug interactions

Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use with INLURIYO. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the INLURIYO dosage. ( 2.5 , 7.1 ) Strong CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use with INLURIYO. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, increase the INLURIYO dosage ( 2.5 , 7.1 ). 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on INLURIYO Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of INLURIYO with strong CYP3A inhibitors. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, reduce the dosage of INLURIYO [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Imlunestrant is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of a strong CYP3A inhibitor increases imlunestrant exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of INLURIYO-associated adverse reactions. Strong CYP3A Inducers Avoid concomitant use of INLURIYO with strong CYP3A inducers. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, increase the dosage of INLURIYO [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. Imlunestrant is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of a strong CYP3A inducer decreases imlunestrant exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce effectiveness of INLURIYO. 7.2 Effects of INLURIYO on Other Drugs P-gp or BCRP Substrates Avoid concomitant use unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for P-gp or BCRP substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions. Imlunestrant inhibits both P-gp and BCRP. Imlunestrant increases exposure of P-gp and BCRP substrates, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].

Every imlunestrant product we track (1)

Same active ingredient — different manufacturer, form, price and FDA recall record. That last one is what our independent score measures.

Only one: Inluriyo.

Can you crush or split imlunestrant?

At least one imlunestrantproduct is labelled to be swallowed whole — crushing an extended-release tablet releases the whole day’s dose at once. Which applies depends on the form you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is imlunestrant?

INLURIYO tablets contain imlunestrant, an estrogen receptor antagonist.

Can you take imlunestrant with other medicines?

It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run imlunestrant against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.

What forms does imlunestrant come in?

Across the brands we track, imlunestrant is currently marketed as tablet, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.

Is there a generic imlunestrant?

We do not currently list a generic-labelled imlunestrant product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
