About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Exemestane (Aromasin) With Tamoxifen on the Rate of Clinical Response Menopausal in Patients With Locally Advanced Breast Tumors

This is a Phase II non-randomized, open, uncontrolled and bi-centric study of hormonal induction by exemestane (Aromasin) + tamoxifen to evaluate the effectiveness of exemestane (Aromasin) with tamoxifen on the rate of clinical response menopausal in patients with tumors of locally advanced breast. Hormone therapy will be administered at a dose of 25mg/day for exemestane and 20 mg / day for 4 months for tamoxifen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Exemestane and tamoxifen in people with Breast Neoplasms, run by Institut Claudius Regaud at 2 sites in France.

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 20 inclusion and 12 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 12 Jun 2009. 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 France. 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 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?

Evaluate the objective response rate (complete response and partial response) (time frame: June 2006). 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 12 Jun 2009.
