Study Overview: Eli Lilly and Company is conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial titled preEMBER: A Phase 2, Open-label Study Evaluating Imlunestrant in Premenopausal Women With Estrogen Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative Breast Cancer. The study aims to evaluate the impact of imlunestrant, a novel treatment, on premenopausal women with a specific type of early breast cancer, estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative. It seeks to provide new insights into treatment options for this patient group, a significant area of unmet clinical need.
Intervention/Treatment: This study examines three treatment arms: (1) Imlunestrant taken orally, (2) Imlunestrant combined with ovarian suppression via Goserelin injection, and (3) Tamoxifen, a standard oral treatment. The aim is to compare the efficacy of imlunestrant, alone or in combination, against Tamoxifen.
Study Design: This interventional study uses a randomized, parallel-assignment model without masking, meaning participants and researchers will know the treatment being given. The trial’s primary purpose is to evaluate the treatment’s effectiveness for premenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer.
Study Timeline: The study is not yet recruiting and is set to start December 11, 2025, with key milestones such as the primary completion date and study completion date still to be determined. The latest update to this trial was submitted on December 15, 2025.
Market Implications: This study underscores Eli Lilly’s investment in developing targeted oncology treatments, which could bolster its standing in the breast cancer therapeutic field. If successful, imlunestrant could provide a meaningful clinical edge against established treatments like Tamoxifen, offering growth opportunities for the company. Investors may view developments in this trial positively, especially as competition in the oncology space intensifies with advancements from other pharmaceutical players.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
