About this study

Official title: The Effects of Adjuvant Zoladex Plus Tamoxifen on Breast Density in Pre- or Peri-menopausal Women With Early-stage Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare Zoladex plus tamoxifen with tamoxifen alone as adjuvant hormonal therapy in pre- or perimenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer in terms of breast density, estrogen levels, lipidemia, endometrial thickness and ultrasonographic abnormalities.

Read the detailed description

After the completion of primary treatment(surgery and/or adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy could be given concurrently with study medication), eligible patients will be randomized to receive Zoladex plus tamoxifen or tamoxifen alone. The duration of study medication along with the follow-up will be 18 months, or until disease recurrence,or discontinuation of study therapy (as a result of an adverse event, a patient's request, or an investigator's decision), further treatment will be at investigator's discretion.

During the study period, contralateral mammograms and transvaginal ultrasound will be undertaken at baseline and after 6, 12 and 18 months of study medications. Mammographic density assessment will be undertaken by a single radiologist. Serum measurements including estrogen levels and lipidemia will be obtained at baseline and after 3, 6, 12 and 18 months of study medications.

Being tested
tamoxifen, Goserelin
Keywords
breast carcinoma; goserelin; Mammographic density

    In the monotherapy arm, patients receive once-daily oral dose of tamoxifen 20 mg.

  • GoserelinDrug

    Also called ZOLADEX

    In the combination arm, patients receive ZOLADEX 3.6 mg by subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks along with once-daily oral dose of tamoxifen 20 mg

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing tamoxifen and Goserelin in people with Mammography and Estrogen, run by Zhejiang Cancer Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 16 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 8 Aug 2011. 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 China. 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?

Mammographic percentage density at 18months (time frame: 18months after enrolled). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00827307, 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 8 Aug 2011.
