March 10, 2026 updated by: Eisai Co., Ltd.

An Open-label Phase 1b Study of E7090 Monotherapy and in Combination With Other Anticancer Agents in Subjects With ER+, HER2- Recurrent/Metastatic Breast Cancer

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of E7090 as monotherapy and in combination with other anticancer agents in participants with ER+, HER2- recurrent/metastatic breast cancer and to determine the recommended dose (RD) of E7090 in combination with other anticancer agents for subsequent phase studies.
