What KORSERDU is and what it is used for

What KORSERDU is

KORSERDU contains the active substance elacestrant which belongs to a group of medicines called selective estrogen receptor degraders.

What KORSERDU is used for

This medicine is used to treat postmenopausal women and adult men who have a specific type of breast cancer that is advanced or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). It can be used to treat breast cancer that is estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, meaning that the cancer cells have receptors for the hormone oestrogen on their surface, and that is human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, meaning that cancer cells have no or only a small amount of this receptor on their surface. KORSERDU is used as monotherapy (used on its own) in patients whose cancer has not responded to or progressed further following at least one line of hormonal treatment including a CDK 4/6 inhibitor and who have certain changes (mutations) in a gene called ESR1.

Your doctor will take a sample of your blood, which will be tested for these ESR1 mutations. A positive result is required for initiation of treatment with KORSERDU.

How KORSERDU works

Oestrogen receptors are a group of proteins found inside the cells. They are activated when the hormone oestrogen binds to them. By binding to these receptors, oestrogen can in some cases stimulate cancer cells to grow and multiply. KORSERDU contains the active substance elacestrant that binds to the oestrogen receptors in the cancer cells and stops them from working. By blocking and destroying oestrogen receptors, KORSERDU can reduce the growth and spread of breast cancer and help to kill cancer cells.

If you have any questions about how KORSERDU works or why this medicine has been prescribed for you, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

What you need to know before you take KORSERDU

Do not use KORSERDU if:

you are allergic to elacestrant or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking KORSERDU

if you have any liver disease (examples of liver disease include cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver impairment or cholestatic jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes due to a reduced flow of bile from the liver)). Your doctor will monitor you regularly and closely for adverse reactions.

By having advanced breast cancer you may have an increased risk of developing blood clots in your veins (a type of blood vessel). It is unknown if KORSERDU also increases this risk.

Children and adolescents

KORSERDU should not be given to children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Other medicines and KORSERDU

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. This is because KORSERDU can affect the way some other medicines work. Also, some other medicines can affect the way KORSERDU works.

KORSERDU with food and drink

Do not drink grapefruit juice or eat grapefruit while on treatment with KORSERDU as it may change the amount of KORSERDU in your body and increase the side effects of KORSERDU (see Section 3 “How to take KORSERDU”).

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility

This medicine should only be used in postmenopausal women and in men.

Pregnancy

KORSERDU may harm an unborn baby. You must not take KORSERDU if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby. If you think you may be pregnant or planning to have a baby, ask your doctor, or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.

If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you should use effective contraception while you are being treated with KORSERDU and for one week after stopping treatment with KORSERDU. Ask your doctor for suitable methods. If you are a woman who could become pregnant, your doctor will rule out an existing pregnancy before starting you on treatment with KORSERDU. This may include having a pregnancy test.

Breast-feeding

You must not breast-feed while on treatment with KORSERDU and for one week after the last dose of KORSERDU. During treatment, your doctor will discuss the potential risks of taking KORSERDU during pregnancy or breast-feeding.

Fertility

KORSERDU may impair fertility in women and men.

Driving and using machines

KORSERDU has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines. However, since fatigue, weakness, and difficulty sleeping have been reported in some patients taking elacestrant, caution should be observed by patients who experience those adverse reactions when driving or operating machinery.

How to take KORSERDU

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

KORSERDU should be taken with food, just avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with KORSERDU (see section 2 “KORSERDU with food and drink”). Taking KORSERDU with food may reduce nausea and vomiting.

Take your dose of this medicine at approximately the same time each day. This will help you to remember to take your medicine.

KORSERDU tablets should be swallowed whole. They should not be chewed, crushed or split prior to swallowing. Do not take a tablet that is broken, cracked or otherwise damaged.

The recommended dose of KORSERDU is 345 mg (one 345 mg film-coated tablet) once daily. Your doctor will tell you exactly how many tablets to take. In certain situations (i.e. in case of liver problems, side effects, or if you are also using certain other medicines), your doctor may instruct you to take a lower dose of KORSERDU, e.g. 258 mg (3 tablets of 86 mg) once daily, 172 mg (2 tablets of 86 mg) once daily, or 86 mg (1 tablet of 86 mg) once daily.

If you take more KORSERDU than you should

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you think you have accidentally taken more KORSERDU than you should. He or she will decide what to do.

If you forget to take KORSERDU

If you forget to take a dose of KORSERDU, take it as soon as you remember. You may still take a forgotten dose up to 6 hours after the time you should have taken it. If more than 6 hours have passed or if you vomit after taking the dose, skip the dose for that day and take the next dose at your usual time the next day. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one that you missed.

If you stop taking KORSERDU

Do not stop using this medicine without talking to your doctor or pharmacist. If treatment with KORSERDU is stopped, your condition may worsen.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
