Clinical Takeaways

  • Elacestrant improves PFS vs SOC in patients with ESR1m, irrespective of PIK3CAm or HER2-low status

  • Hyperglycemia is a target side effect of the PIK3CA inhibitors and needs to be monitored closely

  • T-DXd can be considered for patients with HER2-low mBC after ≥1 line of ChT

  • Recognise the efficacy and safety profiles of SERDs for patients with advanced or metastatic BC, and understand their place in the treatment landscape for patients with BC
  • Implement optimization of treatment selection, and make the appropriate sequencing decisions
  • Be able to identify and manage adverse events

Dr. Bardia is an internationally renowned breast oncologist known for his pioneering clinical and translational research in the field of cancer therapeutics, particularly antibody drug conjugates.
