About this study

Official title: Breast Cancer Survivors With Obesity - Semaglutide's Impact on Preclinical Markers of Cardiovascular Disease

This phase IV trial studies whether adding semaglutide to structured lifestyle support improves heart and blood vessel health in postmenopausal obese breast cancer survivors (BCS) who are taking an aromatase inhibitor. In postmenopausal BCS who are taking an aromatase inhibitor, obesity raises the risk of heart and blood vessel problems. Semaglutide is a medicine approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for weight loss and for lowering the risk of heart events in people with heart disease. The structured lifestyle support in this trial includes counseling on nutrition and physical activity which provides specific recommendations for individuals to follow.

Being tested
Biospecimen Collection, Dual X-ray Absorptiometry, Functional Assessment, Lifestyle Counseling, Semaglutide

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Biospecimen Collection, Dual X-ray Absorptiometry and Functional Assessment in people with Anatomic Stage I Breast Cancer AJCC v8 and Anatomic Stage II Breast Cancer AJCC v8, run by Mayo Clinic 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 7 inclusion and 20 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Trials Referral Office (855-776-0015, mayocliniccancerstudies@mayo.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in PWV between arms (Aim 1) (time frame: Baseline to 24 weeks). The study lists 3 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 17 Aug 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
