A Phase 2 study testing Biospecimen Collection, Electronic Health Record Review and Goserelin in people with Anatomic Stage I Breast Cancer AJCC v8 and Anatomic Stage II Breast Cancer AJCC v8, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
This phase II trial compares leuprolide to goserelin for reducing estrogen production by the ovaries in pre- or peri-menopausal women with breast cancer. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Both leuprolide and goserelin lower the amount of estrogen made by the body. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Phase 2 Interventional Trial of Ovarian Function Suppression for Breast Cancer (OFS)
This phase II trial compares leuprolide to goserelin for reducing estrogen production by the ovaries in pre- or peri-menopausal women with breast cancer. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Both leuprolide and goserelin lower the amount of estrogen made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. This study compares lower dose leuprolide, higher dose leuprolide, and goserelin for their ability to suppress the function of the ovaries to produce estrogen. Both doses of leuprolide may be as safe, tolerable and/or effective as goserelin in suppressing ovarian function in pre- or peri-menopausal women with breast cancer.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of participants with ultrasensitive estradiol concentration > 10 pg/ml
Analyses will primarily be descriptive reporting the overall and by treatment group proportions of women with ultrasensitive estradiol concentration and the corresponding exact binomial 95% confidence intervals over the first 24 weeks of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) therapy.
Measured: During the first 24 weeks of therapy
Secondary outcomes (8)
Proportion of participants with ultrasensitive estradiol concentration > 10 pg/ml
Will be described with corresponding 95% confidence intervals overall and by treatment group.
Measured: At 4 weeks after initial GnRHa treatment administration
Proportion of participants with ultrasensitive estradiol concentration > 10 pg/ml
Will be described with corresponding 95% confidence intervals overall and by treatment group.
Measured: Any time after 4 weeks of initial GnRHa treatment administration, assessed cycle 3 day 1-cycle 7 day 1 (cycle length = 28 days)
Change in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-(FACT)-Endocrine Subscale (ES) Trial Outcome Index
Will use linear mixed-effects models with fixed effects for study group, time, and their interaction. For each outcome, a random intercept for each participant will be included to account for within-subject correlation. This approach allows for estimation of longitudinal trends in FACT-ES scores and assessment of whether changes over time differ between treatment arms. Missing data will be handled using maximum likelihood estimation under the assumption of missing at random (MAR).
Measured: Up to 24 weeks
Change in FACT-ES Endocrine Symptom Subscale
Will use linear mixed-effects models with fixed effects for study group, time, and their interaction. For each outcome, a random intercept for each participant will be included to account for within-subject correlation. This approach allows for estimation of longitudinal trends in FACT-ES scores and assessment of whether changes over time differ between treatment arms. Missing data will be handled using maximum likelihood estimation under the assumption of MAR.
Measured: Up to 24 weeks
Percentage of participants reporting discomfort of 6/10 or higher on the Discomfort of Injection questionnaire
Will be described by study arm and with corresponding exact binomial 95% confidence intervals.
Measured: At the day following initial GnRHa injection
Percentage of participants reporting discomfort of 6/10 or higher on the Discomfort of Injection questionnaire
Will be described by study arm and with corresponding exact binomial 95% confidence intervals.
Measured: Before administration of the second GnRHa injection
Receipt of GnRHa therapy within ± 1 day of planned dosing
Planned dosing should be given every 28 days. The proportion of patients who receive GnRHa therapy within ± 1 day of planned dosing will be reported overall and by study arm with corresponding exact binomial 95% confidence intervals.
Measured: Up to 24 weeks
Incidence of adverse events (AEs)
AEs will be graded and described using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Will be reported using descriptive statistics for each GnRHa study arm.
Measured: Up to 24 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Biospecimen Collection, Electronic Health Record Review and Goserelin in people with Anatomic Stage I Breast Cancer AJCC v8 and Anatomic Stage II Breast Cancer AJCC v8, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center 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 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2026. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Cancer AnswerLine (1-800-865-1125, CancerAnswerLine@med.umich.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Proportion of participants with ultrasensitive estradiol concentration > 10 pg/ml (time frame: During the first 24 weeks of therapy). 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 23 Jun 2026.
