Scientists track breast cancer Drug's journey through healthy women
NCT ID NCT04940026
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study gave a single dose of a radioactive-labeled version of the experimental breast cancer drug amcenestrant to 6 healthy postmenopausal women. The goal was to track how the drug is absorbed, broken down, and eliminated from the body. The results will help guide future dosing and development of the drug for breast cancer treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- amcenestrant (also known as SAR439859)
- What this could lead to
- This study helps researchers understand how amcenestrant moves through the body, which is important for future breast cancer treatment dosing.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study in healthy volunteers, not patients. It only looks at drug processing, not whether the drug works against cancer.
