About this study

Official title: Breast Cancer Survivors: Exercise and Raloxifene

RATIONALE: Raloxifene and exercise may improve bone health and quality of life in breast cancer survivors. Assessing bone health and quality of life may improve the ability to plan treatment.

PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of raloxifene with or without exercise compared with exercise alone in women who have been previously treated for breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the effects of raloxifene with or without exercise versus exercise alone on bone reabsorption rate, bone formation rate, and bone density in women previously treated for breast cancer.
  • Determine the effects of these regimens on the quality of life of these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to one of four treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients are asked to exercise 5 days a week with instruction. Patients also receive oral placebo once daily.
  • Arm II: Patients receive oral raloxifene once daily.
  • Arm III: Patients are asked to exercise as in arm I. Patients also receive oral raloxifene once daily.
  • Arm IV: Patients receive oral placebo once daily. All patients receive oral calcium supplements once daily. Treatment continues in all arms for 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and every 3 months during study.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 240 patients (60 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing raloxifene and quality-of-life assessment in people with Breast Cancer and Menopausal Symptoms, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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?
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 28 May 2012.
