Suppression of Ovarian Function and Either Tamoxifen or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Premenopausal Women With Resected Breast Cancer Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for certified medical advice, trips or professional assistance with a real medical doctor. We aren't docs. Always confer with your doctor about Suppression of Ovarian Function and Either Tamoxifen or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Premenopausal Women With Resected Breast Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Suppression of Ovarian Function and Either Tamoxifen or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Premenopausal Women With Resected Breast Cancer Clinical research trials and Suppression of Ovarian Function and Either Tamoxifen or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Premenopausal Women With Resected Breast Cancer health trials happen in many of cities across the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the effectualness of new does drugs. The intention of the studies / projects is to figure out particular human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect cures for all forms of circumstances, like Suppression of Ovarian Function and Either Tamoxifen or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Premenopausal Women With Resected Breast Cancer. Suppression of Ovarian Function and Either Tamoxifen or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Premenopausal Women With Resected Breast Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to undergo medical treatment options before they are available to the general public. Most times the subjects get treatment for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Suppression of Ovarian Function and Either Tamoxifen or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Premenopausal Women With Resected Breast Cancer clinical trial. Subjects frequently get the best healthcare possible for their Suppression of Ovarian Function and Either Tamoxifen or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Premenopausal Women With Resected Breast Cancer condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and could include more or frequent mD visits, health risks (possibly life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with exacting guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Suppression of Ovarian Function and Either Tamoxifen or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Premenopausal Women With Resected Breast Cancer



Suppression of Ovarian Function and Either Tamoxifen or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Premenopausal Women With Resected Breast Cancer

For Condition: stage 3A breast cancer,stage 2 breast cancer,stage 1 breast cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): International Breast Cancer Study Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI),Breast International Group
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast tumor cells. Suppression of ovarian function combined with hormone therapy may fight breast cancer by reducing the production of estrogen. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether suppression of ovarian function and hormone therapy are more effective with or without chemotherapy in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomizedphase III trial to compare the effectiveness of ovarian-function suppression and hormone therapy with or without chemotherapy in treating premenopausal women who have resected breast cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Compare ovarian function suppression and tamoxifen or exemestane with vs without adjuvant chemotherapy in premenopausal women with endocrine-responsive resected breast cancer. - Compare the disease-free and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens. - Compare sites of first treatment failure in patients treated with these regimens. - Compare the incidence of second nonbreast malignancies in patients treated with these regimens. - Compare the quality of life, including late side effects of early menopause, of patients treated with these regimens. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to participating center, number of positive axillary and/or internal mammary lymph nodes (0 vs 1 or more), method of ovarian function suppression (triptorelin vs oophorectomy vs ovarian irradiation), chemotherapy if randomized to arm II (not containing vs containing an anthracycline or taxane), and endocrine agent (tamoxifen vs exemestane vs selected by subsequent randomization in the TEXT trial). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients receive ovarian function suppression comprising triptorelin intramuscularly on day 1 every 28 days for 5 years, oophorectomy, or ovarian irradiation. Beginning when ovarian function has been suppressed, patients also receive oral tamoxifen or exemestane once daily for 5 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. - Arm II: Patients receive ovarian function suppression as in arm I and concurrent chemotherapy for at least 2 months (if an anthracycline is included) or at least 4 months (if no anthracycline is included). Beginning after the completion of chemotherapy or when ovarian function has been suppressed, patients also receive oral tamoxifen or exemestane as in arm I. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually for 4 years. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 5 years, and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,750 patients will be accrued for this study within 7 years.
