About this study

Official title: ANTI-MULLERIAN HORMONE (AMH) AS A MARKER OF OVARIAN RESERVE IN YOUNG BREAST CANCER PATIENTS RECEIVING CHEMOTHERAPY + GnRH ANALOGUE

This is a multicentre, prospective study willing to evaluate AMH levels changes in response to chemotherapy plus GnRHa.

In the present study we propose to determine AMH levels in breast cancer patients, aged <40yrs receiving adjuvant chemotherapy and ovarian suppression by means of GnRHa with the aim to assess the role of AMH as surrogate marker of the preservation of ovarian reserve exerted by GnRHa.

Read the detailed description

Patients will receive 4 to 8 cycles of chemotherapy according to Institutional guidelines. Triptorelin 3.75 will be administered as an intramuscular injection before chemotherapy and every 28 days thereafter for all the duration of chemotherapy in patients with ER negative tumors and for 2 to 5 years in patients with ER positive tumors according to Institutional guidelines. Patients with ER+ve tumour will receive tamoxifen for 5 years at the end of chemotherapy as standard care. A blood sample will be drawn after signed informed consent to determine baseline AMH levels. A blood sample for determination of AMH levels will be collected at the end of chemotherapy and at 12 months after the end of chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. AMH in response to chemotherapy plus GnRHa

    To evaluate AMH levels changes in response to chemotherapy plus GnRHa in order to assess the role of AMH as surrogate marker of the preservation of ovarian reserve exerted by GnRHa

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. AMH and menstrual cycle

    To correlate AMH behaviour with recovery of menstrual cycle (in the ER negative cohort);

    Measured: 18 months

  2. AMH after chemotherapy

    To compare AMH levels obtained at the end of chemotherapy and at 12 months after the end of chemotherapy in the two cohorts of ER positive and ER negative patients

    Measured: 18 months

  3. AMH levels >0.2 ng/mL at the 12-month time point

    Evaluate the proportion of patients with AMH levels >0.2 ng/mL at the 12-month time point.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Triptorelin in people with Breast Cancer, run by Armando Santoro, MD at 1 site in Italy.

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 8 inclusion and 7 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 10 Sep 2022. 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 Italy. 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 was stopped early (reason given: target population not reached). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

AMH in response to chemotherapy plus GnRHa (time frame: 18 months). 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 10 Sep 2022.
