Camizestrant is an experimental medication that is being evaluated for the treatment of breast cancer.[1] It is an estrogen receptor alpha antagonist and a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD).[2]
Camizestrant is an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (ngSERD) and complete estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist.[1] It blocks the activity of estrogen receptor alpha encoded by both wild-type and mutated ESR1 and induces proteasome-dependent degradation of estrogen receptor alpha, without agonizing estrogen receptor alpha.[1]
