FLORENCE, Italy and NEW YORK, May 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Menarini Group ("Menarini"), a leading international pharmaceutical and diagnostics company, and Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. ("Stemline"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Menarini Group, focused on bringing transformational oncology treatments to cancer patients, announced that new data related to elacestrant and tagraxofusp will be presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.

 

New data exploring the safety and preliminary efficacy of elacestrant in combination with capivasertib in patients with ER+/HER2- PI3K/AKT/PTEN- pathway altered metastatic breast cancer (mBC) from the phase 1/2 ELEVATE study will be presented. Additional details on ongoing studies of elacestrant in combination, in the advanced setting, will be shared: ADELA (pivotal phase 3 combination with everolimus); ELECTRA (phase 1b/2 combination with abemaciclib in patients with brain metastases); and CAPELA (phase 2 combination with capecitabine). Lastly, an update from the ELEGANT study, exploring elacestrant as adjuvant treatment in node-positive early breast cancer with high risk of recurrence, will be presented at the congress.

 

Also accepted for presentation is new phase 2 tagraxofusp combination data in patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), which will be presented by Naveen Pemmaraju, MD, Professor, Department of Leukemia, Division of Cancer Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Additionally, Stemline's partner, Karyopharm Therapeutics, will present a late-breaking oral presentation from the phase 3 SENTRY trial of selinexor in JAKi naïve patients with myelofibrosis (MF). Selinexor is marketed in the U.S. by Karyopharm Therapeutics, and in the EU by Stemline.

 

"The extensive oncology data that will be presented, encompassing both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, highlights our dedication to tackling the most difficult-to-treat cancers with high unmet needs," said Elcin Barker Ergun, CEO of the Menarini Group. "Our focus remains on accelerating innovation to provide transformational, targeted therapies that offer meaningful advances to patients and the healthcare communities dedicated to their care."

About The Elacestrant Clinical Development Program
Elacestrant is also being investigated in several company-sponsored clinical trials in breast cancer disease, alone or in combination with other therapies. ELEGANT (NCT06492616) is a phase 3 trial evaluating the effectiveness of elacestrant versus standard endocrine therapy in women and men with node-positive, ER+, HER2- early breast cancer with high risk of recurrence. ADELA (NCT06382948) is a phase 3 randomized, double-blinded trial evaluating elacestrant in combination with everolimus in patients with ER+, HER2- mBC with ESR1-mut tumors. ELEVATE (NCT05563220) is a phase 1b/2 clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of elacestrant combined with alpelisib, everolimus, capivasertib, palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib. ELECTRA (NCT05386108) is an open-label phase 1b/2, multicenter study evaluating elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in patients with ER+, HER2- breast cancer. The phase 2 portion evaluates this treatment regimen in patients with brain metastases. ELCIN (NCT05596409) is a phase 2 trial evaluating the efficacy of elacestrant in patients with ER+, HER2- advanced/metastatic breast cancer who received one or two prior hormonal therapies and no prior CDK4/6 inhibitors in the metastatic setting. Elacestrant is also being evaluated in additional investigator-led trials, in trials conducted in collaboration with other companies, in metastatic breast cancer as well as in early disease.
