PF-06804103 + Palbociclib +Letrozole (pf-06804103-palbociclib-letrozole)
PF-06804103 + Palbociclib +Letrozole (generic name: pf-06804103-palbociclib-letrozole) is a Selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) + CDK4/6 inhibitor + aromatase inhibitor combination drug developed by Pfizer Inc.. It is currently in discontinued development.
Triple-agent therapy combining estrogen receptor degradation, CDK4/6 inhibition, and aromatase inhibition to block estrogen signaling and cell-cycle progression in HR+ breast cancer.
PF-06804103 combined with palbociclib and letrozole is a discontinued triple-agent hormonal therapy developed by Pfizer for hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative breast cancer. The regimen combines PF-06804103 (a selective estrogen receptor degrader, SERD) with palbociclib (a CDK4/6 inhibitor) and letrozole (an aromatase inhibitor), targeting multiple points in the estrogen signaling pathway to overcome endocrine resistance. The combination was evaluated in Phase 1 dose-escalation studies but was terminated before advancing to later-stage development, suggesting either safety concerns, lack of efficacy signals, or strategic portfolio decisions by Pfizer. This triple-agent approach represented an attempt to improve upon dual-therapy regimens (CDK4/6 inhibitor + endocrine therapy) by adding SERD-mediated estrogen receptor degradation. The discontinuation reflects the competitive landscape in HR+/HER2− breast cancer, where established combinations like palbociclib + letrozole and ribociclib + letrozole already dominate clinical practice. No commercial revenue was generated as the program did not reach regulatory approval.

Mechanism of action
This combination therapy targets hormone receptor-positive breast cancer through three complementary mechanisms. PF-06804103 acts as a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), binding to the estrogen receptor and promoting its proteasomal degradation, thereby eliminating both ligand-dependent and ligand-independent signaling. Palbociclib is a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor that blocks the G1/S cell-cycle checkpoint by preventing phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein, halting cancer cell proliferation. Letrozole is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that reduces circulating estrogen levels by blocking the conversion of androgens to estrogen in postmenopausal women. Together, these three agents create a multi-layered blockade: letrozole reduces estrogen availability, palbociclib prevents cell-cycle progression even when estrogen signaling occurs, and PF-06804103 degrades any remaining estrogen receptors, theoretically overcoming resistance mechanisms that develop with dual-therapy approaches.
