Despite advances in the adjuvant treatment of early-stage estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer, there continues to be a risk of recurrence. The ELEGANT study is a Global, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label Phase 3 Study with the primary goal to evaluate the efficacy and safety of elacestrant versus standard endocrine therapy in participants with node-positive ER+/HER2- early breast cancer with high risk of recurrence. The main purpose of this study is to compare the Invasive Breast Cancer-Free Survival (IBCFS) over a period of up to 5 years. 4220 participants will be included in this study around the world. Participants will have equal chance to be assigned to receive either of the treatment combinations.
At the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, the Louisiana Oncology Society received the ASCO Jeffrey C Ward Affiliate Advocacy Award for advancing critical advocacy priorities that have translated into meaningful legislative victories. The Iowa Oncology Society and Washington State Medical Oncology Society were also recognized for their advocacy efforts in 2025 at the meeting, receiving second place awards.
