Elacentra Tablet contains Elacestrant 345 mg, an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) used in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It is specifically indicated for patients whose disease has progressed following prior endocrine therapy. Elacestrant provides a targeted hormonal treatment option that works by directly acting on estrogen receptors involved in tumor growth.

Therapeutic Uses
Elacentra Tablet is indicated for:
-
HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer
-
Patients with progression after endocrine-based therapies
-
Endocrine-resistant breast cancer (as determined by oncologist)
-
Cases involving ESR1 mutation-positive tumors (based on testing)
-
Long-term hormonal therapy in selected patients
Treatment is individualized based on disease stage, prior therapies, and molecular profiling.
Mechanism of Action
Elacestrant is a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) that works by:
-
Binding to estrogen receptors in breast cancer cells
-
Blocking estrogen-driven signaling pathways
-
Promoting degradation of estrogen receptors
-
Reducing cancer cell growth and survival
-
Helping overcome resistance to previous hormone therapies
By targeting the estrogen receptor pathway, it helps slow or control tumor progression in hormone-sensitive cancers.
