Elacestrant HCl (Elacestrant Hydrochloride) Core Information
Generic Name: Elacestrant Hydrochloride (Elacestrant HCl) Chinese Name: Elacestrant Hydrochloride Development Code: RAD1901 Trade Name: Orserdu (FDA Approved) CAS Number: 1349723-93-8 Molecular Formula: C₃₀H₄₀Cl₂N₂O₂ (dihydrochloride) Molecular Weight: 531.56 g/mol Chemical Name: (6R)-6-[2-[ethyl[[4-[2-(ethylamino)ethyl]phenyl]methyl]amino]-4-methoxyphenyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthol dihydrochloride
Drug Type and Mechanism of Action
Drug Type: Oral Selective Estrogen Receptor Degrader (SERD)
Mechanism of Action:
Potently binds to ERα (IC₅₀=48 nM), competitively blocking estrogen signaling
Induces ERα conformational change and is completely degraded by the proteasome, directly reducing intracellular ER levels
Maintains strong degradation activity against **ESR1 mutations (Y537S/D538G)** resistant receptors
Oral administration, no injection or refrigeration required
Core Clinical Value (Latest as of 2026)
Approved Indication (FDA, 2023-01):
For ER-positive, HER2-negative, ESR1-mutated advanced/metastatic breast cancer;
Suitable for postmenopausal women/adult men who have previously failed at least one line of endocrine therapy
Key Clinical Data (EMERALD Study):
ESR1 mutation subgroup: Median PFS 3.78 months vs 1.87 months in the control group, 45% reduction in risk of progression
Previous 1st-line endocrine therapy + ESR1 mutation: Median PFS reached 8.6 months
Dosing Regimen: 345 mg, once daily Once daily, taken orally with food.
Safety: Primarily mild to moderate nausea (35%), fatigue (19%), and musculoskeletal pain (14%); grade 3–4 adverse reactions occurred in only 6.3%.
