What is Orserdu?
From the FDA label:Elacestrant hydrochloride is the salt form of elacestrant, an estrogen receptor antagonist, that has the chemical name: (6R)-6-(2-(N-(4-(2-(ethylamino)ethyl)benzyl)-N-ethylamino)-4-methoxyphenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ol dihydrochloride. Elacestrant hydrochloride is the dihydrochloride salt and the molecular formula is C 30 H 38 N 2 O 2 .2HCL. The relative molecular mass is 531.56 g/mol. The chemical structure of elacestrant hydrochloride is shown below: Elacestrant hydrochloride is a white to off-white to grey solid and is freely soluble in 0.01N HCI. ORSERDU (elacestrant) 345 mg film-coated tablet contains 400 mg of elacestrant hydrochloride (approximately 345 mg of elacestrant free base). ORSERDU (elacestrant) 86 mg film-coated tablet contains 100 mg of elacestrant hydrochloride (approximately 86 mg of elacestrant free base). Both tablet strengths contain the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, magnesium stearate (non-bovine), microcrystalline cellulose, and silicified microcrystalline cellulose. The tablets also contain Opadry II Blue (polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, FD&C Blue #1 and talc). Chemical Structure
How to use
Select patients for treatment with ORSERDU based on the presence of ESR1 mutations. ( 2.1 ) The recommended dosage of ORSERDU is one 345 mg tablet taken orally, once daily, with food ( 2.2 ) Dose interruption, reduction, or permanent discontinuation may be required due to adverse reactions. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for treatment of ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer with ORSERDU based on the presence of ESR1 mutation(s) in plasma specimen using an FDA-authorized test [see Indications and Usage ( 1 ) and Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . Information on FDA-authorized tests for detection of ESR1 mutations in breast cancer is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. 2.2 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of ORSERDU is 345 mg taken orally with food once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Take ORSERDU at approximately the same time each day. Take with food to reduce nausea and vomiting [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Swallow ORSERDU tablet(s) whole. Do not chew, crush, or split prior to swallowing. Do not take any ORSERDU tablets that are broken, cracked, or that look damaged. If a dose is missed for more than 6 hours or vomiting occurs, skip the dose and take the next dose the following day at its regularly scheduled time. 2.3 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended…
Side effects
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Dyslipidemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] The most common (>10%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, of ORSERDU were musculoskeletal pain, nausea, increased cholesterol, increased AST, increased triglycerides, fatigue, decreased hemoglobin, vomiting, increased ALT, decreased sodium, increased creatinine, decreased appetite, diarrhea, headache, constipation, abdominal pain, hot flush, and dyspepsia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. at 1-877-332-7961 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials 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 ORSERDU was evaluated in 467 patients with ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer following CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy in EMERALD, a randomized, open-label, multicenter study [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . Patients received ORSERDU 345 mg orally once daily (n=237) or standard of care (SOC) consisting of fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor (n=230). Among patients who received ORSERDU, 22% were exposed for 6 months…
Warnings
Important safety information
Dyslipidemia : ORSERDU may cause hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Monitor lipid profile prior to starting treatment and periodically thereafter. ( 5.1 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : ORSERDU can cause fetal harm. Advise of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.2 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Dyslipidemia Hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia occurred in patients taking ORSERDU at an incidence of 30% and 27%, respectively. The incidence of Grade 3 and 4 hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia were 0.9% and 2.2%, respectively [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Monitor lipid profile prior to starting and periodically while taking ORSERDU. 5.2 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, ORSERDU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Administration of elacestrant to pregnant rats resulted in adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality and structural abnormalities, at maternal exposures below the recommended dose based on area under the curve (AUC). Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ORSERDU and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ORSERDU and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] .

Interactions
Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers : Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors : Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on ORSERDU Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors with ORSERDU. Elacestrant is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use of a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor increase elacestrant exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions of ORSERDU. Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers with ORSERDU. Elacestrant is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use of a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer decreases elacestrant exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may decrease effectiveness of ORSERDU. 7.2 Effect of ORSERDU on Other Drugs P-gp Substrates Reduce the dosage of P-gp substrates per their Prescribing Information when minimal concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening adverse reactions. Elacestrant is a P-gp inhibitor. Concomitant use of ORSERDU with a P-gp substrate increased the concentrations of P-gp substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the adverse reactions associated with a P-gp substrate. BCRP Substrates Reduce the dosage of BCRP substrates per their Prescribing Information when minimal concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening adverse reactions. Elacestrant is a BCRP inhibitor. Concomitant use of ORSERDU with a BCRP substrate increased the plasma concentrations of BCRP substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the adverse reactions associated with a BCRP substrate.
