US FDA approves Lilly Inluriyo-Verzenio combo for ESR1-mutated metastatic breast cancer

18. Sep 2026

Description

(AWP Alliance News) - Eli Lilly secured full FDA clearance for Inluriyo in combination with Verzenio to treat adults with ER-positive, HER2-negative, ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer with disease progression following at least one line of endocrine therapy. The label requires an FDA-authorized test to detect the ESR1 mutation.

The decision was supported by the Phase 3 EMBER-3 trial, where the combination delivered median progression-free survival of 11.1 months versus 5.5 months with Inluriyo alone.
