About this study

Official title: A Phase IB Randomized Study of an Antiestrogen in Women With Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen or LY353381 may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase I trial is studying how well tamoxifen works on the biomarkers of the tumor tissue, compared with LY353381, in treating women with newly diagnosed breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine whether LY353381 hydrochloride or tamoxifen administered in the interval between biopsy and re-excision alters the expression of tissue biomarkers relative to placebo controls in postmenopausal women with newly diagnosed breast cancer.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study.

  • Phase I: Patients are randomized to receive either oral LY353381 hydrochloride or oral placebo daily.

Upon completion of phase I, all treatment centers begin phase II of the study.

  • Phase II: Patients are randomized to receive either oral tamoxifen or oral placebo daily.

Treatment in both phases continues for 2-6 weeks (until scheduled lumpectomy or mastectomy) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 1 and 2 weeks after surgery.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 120 patients (60 per treatment phase) will be accrued for this study within 18 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing arzoxifene hydrochloride and tamoxifen citrate in people with Breast Cancer, run by University of Kansas Medical Center at 9 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005886, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jan 2017.
