This is a video synopsis/summary of a Peer Exchange featuring Mabel Mardones, MD; Rena Callahan, MD; William Gradishar, MD; and Gregory Vidal, MD, PhD.
Mardones discusses toxicities associated with oral selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) with Vidal, Callahan, and Gradishar. Vidal addresses cardiovascular, reproductive, and bone health, noting potential toxicities in some oral SERDs but emphasizing their overall well-tolerated nature and how they provide clinicians with effective alternatives to chemotherapy. Callahan delves into nausea and gastrointestinal toxicities, citing a learning curve and advising patients to take the drug with food to minimize adverse effects. The patient-reported outcomes data presented at the 2023 European Society for Medical Oncology Congress suggests an improvement in patient-reported nausea and vomiting, enhancing the overall experience. Gradishar emphasizes that oral SERDs, particularly elacestrant, maintain quality of life with minimal adverse effects and improved tolerability compared with chemotherapy. Vidal highlights the evolving landscape of prior authorization, acknowledging initial challenges but noting improved processes, voucher programs, and timely access to drugs, which streamlines the patient experience. This discussion offers a comprehensive view of the toxicities associated with oral SERDs and insights into managing patient experiences in clinical practice.
