About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of High Dose Estradiol in Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Estradiol treatment for advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor negative and Her2/neu negative. The study will also use tumor tissue from your original diagnosis or from a biopsy you may have had for your cancer to look at hormone receptors in the lab. The tissue left over from your previous surgery or a previous biopsy will be used for research tests to check whether a different estrogen receptor (estrogen receptor beta) is seen in the tumor and if that makes estrogen work better.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine Tumor Objective Response (OR) Rates

    OR=complete response (CR) + partial response (PR) as defined by RECIST version 1.1, where CR=disappearance of all target lesions, and PR=At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical Benefit (CB)

    Defined as complete response, partial response, or stable disease at > 16 weeks

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  3. Median Overall Survival (OS)

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Estradiol in people with Female Breast Cancer, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 11 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 9 Dec 2019. 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Determine Tumor Objective Response (OR) Rates (time frame: Up to 4 years). 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 9 Dec 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
