François-Clément Bidard, MD, PhD, on Advanced Breast Cancer With Emergent ESR1 Mutations: First-Line Option
ASCO 2026
François-Clément Bidard, MD, PhD, of Institut Curie, presents final progression-free survival 2 findings from the phase III SERENA-6 trial, which investigated the efficacy of camizestrant, a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), vs continued aromatase inhibition in patients with advanced breast cancer with emergent ESR1 mutations. Earlier reports from the trial showed improved progression-free survival with the SERD (Abstract LBA1007).
