About this study

Official title: A Clinical Study for the Evaluation of the Association Between CYP2D6 Genetic Polymorphisms and the Treatment Effect of Tamoxifen in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer

Primary objectives of this study is to evaluate the effects of CYP2D6 genotypes on time to progression after tamoxifen treatment in pre- or postmenopausal women with metastatic breast cancer. Furthermore, we will evaluate the effects of CYP2D6 genotypes on clinical benefit and response duration to tamoxifen administration in pre- or postmenopausal women with metastatic breast cancer and also evaluate the effects of CYP2D6 genotypes on the steady state plasma concentration of tamoxifen and its metabolites

Being tested
Tamoxifen
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tamoxifen in people with Breast Cancer and Metastatic Disease, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 2 sites in South Korea.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Korea. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was stopped early (reason given: planned to design a prospective study). Results are not available in the source record.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

efficacy of tamoxifen (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 10 Feb 2010.
