EMBER-4

About this trial

The main purpose of this study is to measure how well imlunestrant works compared to standard hormone therapy in participants with early breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and human epidermal receptor 2 negative (HER2-). Participants must have already taken endocrine therapy for two to five years and must have a higher-than-average risk for their cancer to return. Study participation could last up to 10 years. Eligible patients will be randomly put into one of two treatment groups in this study:
Experimental Arm: Imlunestrant
Active Comparator Arm: Investigator’s Choice of Endocrine Therapy

Patient Profile

Patients (18 years and older) who have previously received 2 to 5 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy for ER+, HER2- early breast cancer and whose breast cancer has an increased risk of recurrence.

Where’s this trial being run?

Beacon Hospital, Beaumont Hospital, Bon Secours Cork, Cork University Hospital, Sligo University Hospital, St James’s Hospital, St Vincents University Hospital, University Hospital Galway, and University Hospital Waterford
