Giredestrant after aromatase inhibitor intolerance in early ER+/HER2- breast cancer
Official title: A Phase IIIb, Single-Arm, Open-Label Study Evaluating Adherence, Tolerability, and Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) of Giredestrant in Patients With ER+/HER2- Early Breast Cancer Who Are Intolerant to Adjuvant Aromatase Inhibitor Therapy
Run by Genentech, Inc. · NCT07541079 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests switching to giredestrant for postmenopausal women with ER+/HER2- early breast cancer who had AI intolerance, to see if it’s tolerable and can improve patient-reported outcomes.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Postmenopausal women with ER+/HER2- Stage I–III early breast cancer who previously used an AI for at least 6 months and had intolerable AI-related adverse events.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not respond to giredestrant or who continue to experience intolerable side effects may not derive benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 3 interventional trial evaluating adherence, tolerability, and patient-reported outcomes after switching to giredestrant as adjuvant endocrine therapy in adults with ER+/HER2- early breast cancer who are intolerant to prior AI therapy. Eligible participants have Stage I–III disease, are postmenopausal, and have documented AI intolerance with ongoing AI-related adverse events. The study assesses how well patients adhere to giredestrant, the side effect profile, and patient-reported quality of life and symptoms over time. Giredestrant is given as the adjuvant endocrine therapy option for participants at risk of recurrence according to investigator assessment. Safety and efficacy signals will be interpreted in the context of tolerability and patient experience.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, switching to giredestrant could offer a tolerable endocrine therapy option with good adherence and improved patient-reported outcomes for those intolerant to AI therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Prior endocrine therapies targeting ER have shown benefits in adaptive strategies, but this specific AI intolerance-switch approach to giredestrant is a novel/interventional strategy with limited prior results.
