About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, One-Sequence Study to Evaluate the Steady-State Comparative Bioavailability of Quarterly Letrozole SIE and Once Daily 2.5 mg Oral Letrozole (Femara®) in Post-Menopausal Women Treated With Endocrine Therapy for Hormone Receptor-Positive Early Breast Cancer. (SIE-1)

The study aims to compare the amount of the drug letrozole that gets into the bloodstream after multiple doses of the quarterly injection Letrozole SIE, versus multiple doses of the standard oral daily tablet of letrozole (Femara®), in women who have gone through menopause and have received treatment for hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer. Participants must have completed at least five years of hormone therapy with at least two of those years with letrozole before starting their participation in the study. Women who have completed four years of hormone therapy are also eligible if their doctor considers them at low risk of cancer returning.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the steady-state comparative bioavailability of quarterly injectable Letrozole SIE compared to United States (US)-sourced oral Femara® in the US-sourced arm and of quarterly injectable Letrozole SIE compared to European Union (EU)-sourced oral Femara® in the EU-sourced arm, in post-menopausal women treated with endocrine therapy for hormone-receptor positive (HR+) early breast cancer (EBC). The study also aims to characterize the elimination phase of Letrozole SIE after multiple doses.

The study consists of four periods: Screening, Treatment Period 1 (TP1), Treatment Period 2 (TP2) and Extension Period. After the Screening Period, participants will be randomized to two different arms: US-sourced oral Femara® or EU-sourced oral Femara® for 14 days to achieve the steady-state concentrations of letrozole in TP1. After receiving the latest oral letrozole dose, participants from both arms will start TP2. In TP2, quarterly injectable Letrozole SIE will be administered to achieve steady-state. After TP2, a subset of participants (up to 60 participants, regardless of which study arm they belong to) will continue in the study for the assessment of the elimination phase of Letrozole SIE after multiple doses during the Extension Period.

It is estimated that approximately 120 subjects should be randomized.

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

  1. Area under the concentration-time curve within a dosing interval at Steady-State (SS AUCtau)

    Individual and mean area under the concentration-time curve within a dosing interval at steady-state

    Measured: After multiple doses of Letrozole SIE until Day 281 TP2 and after multiple doses of US-sourced oral Femara® or EU-sourced oral Femara® on Day 14 TP1

Secondary outcomes (14)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing US-sourced oral Femara® + Letrozole SIE and EU sourced oral Femara® + Letrozole SIE in people with Hormone Receptor Positive Early Breast Cancer, run by Rovi Pharmaceuticals Laboratories at 21 sites in 3 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 9 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in Spain, Serbia, 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Clinical Operations. Laboratorios Farmacéuticos ROVI (+34913756230, departamento.medico@rovi.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Area under the concentration-time curve within a dosing interval at Steady-State (SS AUCtau) (time frame: After multiple doses of Letrozole SIE until Day 281 TP2 and after multiple doses of US-sourced oral Femara® or EU-sourced oral Femara® on Day 14 TP1). 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 Oct 2026.
