About this study

Official title: Prognostic Evaluation of Changing Endocrine Therapy in Perimenopausal and Recently Postmenopausal Women With Early-stage Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer

It suggests in the Guideline that the postmenopausal women with breast cancer who have taken selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) therapy for 2-3 years could benefit from changing endocrine therapy to aromatase inhibitors (AIs). This is a prospective, randomized and non-inferior trial to evaluate the prognosis of changing endocrine therapy from SERMs to AIs in perimenopausal and recently postmenopausal women with early-stage hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.

Conditions

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Anastrozole, Tamoxifen and Toremifene in people with Breast Cancer, run by Peking Union Medical College 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 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Qiang Sun, Doctor (8610-69152700, birds90@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease free survival (time frame: 10 years). 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 25 May 2016.
