Trial summary

We hypothesized that subjects with CYP2D6*10 alleles may have a lower steady state levels of endoxifen due to reduced conversion of tamoxifen to endoxifen. Primary objectives: To determine the steady state pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen and its metabolites To test the effects of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 on… Read more about this study

About this study

We hypothesized that subjects with CYP2D6*10 alleles may have a lower steady state levels of endoxifen due to reduced conversion of tamoxifen to endoxifen.

Primary objectives:

  • To determine the steady state pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen and its metabolites
  • To test the effects of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 on plasma concentration of tamoxifen and its metabolites in hormone receptor positive women who are taking tamoxifen as adjuvant treatment for breast cancer.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the steady state pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen and its metabolites

  2. To test the effects of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 on plasma concentration of tamoxifen and its metabolites in hormone receptor positive women who are taking tamoxifen as adjuvant treatment for breast cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by National University Hospital, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 6 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 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 Singapore. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the steady state pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen and its metabolites. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 Apr 2012.
