What is Elacestrant?

Elacestrant is used to treat advanced hormone-related breast cancer in postmenopausal women and adult men when cancer has progressed or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) after other treatments have failed.

Your doctor will make sure you have the correct tumor type to be treated with elacestrant.

Elacestrant may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

  • high cholesterol or triglycerides;
  • liver disease.

Elacestrant can harm an unborn baby if the mother or the father is using this medicine.

  • If you are a woman, you may need a pregnancy test to make sure you are not pregnant. Use birth control while using this medicine and for at least 1 week after your last dose.
  • If you are a man, use birth control if your sex partner is able to get pregnant. Keep using birth control for at least 1 week after your last dose.
  • Tell your doctor right away if a pregnancy occurs.

Elacestrant may affect fertility in men or women. Pregnancy could be harder to achieve while either parent is using this medicine.

Do not breastfeed while using this medicine, and for at least 1 week after your last dose.

How should I use Elacestrant

You will need frequent blood tests to check your cholesterol and triglycerides before and during treatment with elacestrant.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What should I do if I missed a dose of Elacestrant (Oral)?
