Giredestrant is an investigational oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) being developed for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer.[1][2] It is a potent, nonsteroidal compound that antagonizes estrogen effects by competitively binding to both wild-type and mutant estrogen receptors with nanomolar potency.[1][3] Giredestrant works by inducing an inactive conformation of the estrogen receptor ligand-binding domain and promoting proteasome-mediated degradation of the receptor protein.[1][4][5]
Research
In clinical trials, giredestrant has been evaluated in patients with ER+ breast cancer, including those with ESR1 mutations, both as a single agent and in combination with other therapies.[2][6] Its orally bioavailable.[3][4]
