Month 12
Incidence of Participants Who Have Discontinued Giredestrant for Any Reason at 12 Months
At 12 months
Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events, with Severity Determined According to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events, version 6.0 (NCI CTCAE v6.0)
From baseline until 28 days after the final dose of study drug (up to 4 years, 7 months)
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in the ESR1 mutation (ESR1m) Subgroup
From randomization to first occurrence of progressive disease (PD) or death (up to 5 years)

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of PD, as determined by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), or death from any cause during the study.

PFS in the Full Analysis Set (FAS) Population
From randomization to first occurrence of PD or death (up to 5 years)
Progression-Free Survival, as Determined by the Investigator According to RECIST v1.1, in the ESR1m Subpopulation and ITT Population
From randomization until the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 42 months)

The Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population consists of all randomized participants, and the ESR1m subpopulation is defined as participants in the ITT population whose tumors harbor a detectable Estrogen Receptor 1 (ESR1) mutation at baseline as measured in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).

Invasive Disease-Free Survival (IDFS), Excluding Second Primary Non-Breast Cancers
From randomization to first occurrence of an IDFS event (up to 10 years)
Progression-Free Survival (PFS), as Determined by the Investigator According to RECIST v1.1
From randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 78 months)
Percentage of Participants Who Have Regression at 6 Months
Baseline, 6 Months

The percentage of participants who have regression is defined as participants who have a decrease in the proportion of cancer in their endometrial biopsy or the proportion of cancer is not increased, but there is an increase in non-cancer/non-atypical hyperplasia at the 6-month assessment compared with baseline.

Number of Participants with at Least One Adverse Event, with Severity Determined According to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0 (NCI-CTCAE v5.0)
From Baseline until 30 days after the final dose of study drug (up to 1 year, 6 months)
Progression-Free Survival (PFS), as Determined by the Investigator According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
From randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (duration of follow-up, median [range]: 7.9 [0.0-14.1] months)

PFS was defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause (whichever occurs first). Disease progression was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, unequivocal progression in non-target lesions, and/or appearance of new lesions. Kaplan-Meier methodology was used to estimate median PFS. The 95% confidence interval for the median was computed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley. Participants without the occurrence of disease progression or death as of the clinical cutoff were censored at the time of the last tumor assessment prior to the clinical cutoff or at the time of randomization plus 1 day for those without post-baseline assessment.

Relative Percent Change in Ki67 Scores From Baseline to Week 2
Baseline, Week 2

Ki67 is a proliferation biomarker with prognostic value in ER-positive breast cancer. Ki67 scores were centrally assessed with immunohistochemistry and defined as a percentage of positively stained tumor cell nuclei among the total number of tumor cells assessed, with a potential range of 0-100%. A score of 0% indicates no tumor cell nuclei with Ki67 staining and a score of 100% indicates all tumor cell nuclei are positively stained with Ki67. The relative percentage change was calculated using Ki67 scores at Baseline and Week 2. Relative Percent Change was defined as Week 2 Ki67 percentage score/Baseline Ki67 percentage score\*100. A smaller value of relative percentage change indicates improvement.

Percentage of Participants with Objective Response, Defined as a Complete or Partial Response, as Determined by the Investigator According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)

Change From Baseline in Tumor Cell Proliferation, as Measured by the Proportion of Nuclei Staining Ki67-Positive at Surgery Relative to Baseline in Pre- and Post-Treatment Tumor Biopsy Samples
Baseline and Surgery (Day 15)

The biological response to the study treatment was assessed by measuring changes in cell proliferation (Ki67 expression) using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded histopathology sections of the tumor biopsy specimens taken at baseline and at day of surgery. Baseline was defined as a sample taken prior to initiation of study drug. The results show the proportion of nuclei staining Ki67-positive (Ki67+) in the tumor biopsy sample taken post-treatment (at surgery) relative to that in the pre-treatment sample (at baseline).

Change From Baseline in Tumor Cell Proliferation, as Measured by the Difference in the Percentage of Nuclei Staining Ki67-Positive at Surgery Compared With Baseline in Pre- and Post-Treatment Tumor Biopsy Samples
Baseline and Surgery (Day 15)

The biological response to the study treatment was assessed by measuring changes in cell proliferation (Ki67 expression) using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded histopathology sections of the tumor biopsy specimens taken at baseline and at day of surgery.

Frequently asked questions about Giredestrant

What is Giredestrant used for?

Giredestrant is an investigational oral medicine being studied for estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, including early breast cancer and locally advanced or metastatic disease, and for grade 1 endometrial cancer. It is being developed as an endocrine therapy for hormone receptor-driven tumors.

What does Giredestrant target?

Giredestrant targets ESR1, the estrogen receptor alpha. It is a degrader, meaning it binds the receptor and promotes its breakdown rather than only blocking it. This targeted degradation is intended to reduce estrogen receptor signaling that drives ER-positive tumor growth.

Who is developing Giredestrant?

Giredestrant is being developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades over the counter in the United States under the ticker RHHBY. Roche is running the clinical program across early and advanced breast cancer and endometrial cancer.

What phase is Giredestrant in?

Giredestrant is investigational and remains in clinical development. Its program spans Phase 1 through Phase 3, with Phase 3 studies in ER-positive, HER2-negative early and advanced breast cancer, a completed Phase 2 study in grade 1 endometrial cancer, and earlier-phase work. It is not an approved therapy.

What clinical trials is Giredestrant in?

Giredestrant trials include NCT07827573 in early breast cancer, NCT07541079 in patients intolerant to adjuvant aromatase inhibitors, NCT06065748 comparing it with fulvestrant plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor in advanced breast cancer, and the completed Phase 2 NCT05634499 in grade 1 endometrial cancer. Total enrollment across these studies is about 6,191 participants.

Is Giredestrant the same as GDC-9545?

Yes. Giredestrant is also known as GDC-9545, and the name GDC-9545 appears in study listings and tablet formulations, including fasted treatment arms and a carbon-14 labeled version used in pharmacokinetic work. Searches for GDC-9545 refer to the same Roche compound.
