About this study

Official title: An Observational Trial of the Effect of Pharmacogenomics Differences in Phase I and II Metabolism of Tamoxifen on Efficacy and Toxicity

This study will be an open-label prospective observational trial designed to test associations between polymorphisms of candidate genes and tamoxifen. Pre- and post-menopausal women taking tamoxifen as standard therapy or chemopreventive therapy will be included in this study.

Read the detailed description

This study will be an open-label prospective observational trial designed to test associations between polymorphisms of candidate genes (focusing initially on the UGT2B7 enzyme) and tamoxifen (TAM) toxicity. Pre- \& post-menopausal women (aged ≥18 years) taking TAM (20 mg/day) as standard therapy or chemopreventive therapy will be included in this study. Patients will be enrolled after they complete all primary surgery, radiation, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients will be excluded if they are undergoing other adjuvant endocrine therapies. Other reasons for exclusion will include patients who are pregnant or lactating, or are currently on corticosteroids, phenobarbital, or megestrol acetate. The goal will be to recruit a total of 45 eligible patients over a 1 year accrual period. The investigators expect to treat ~50 new patients per year with TAM at the standard dose of 20 mg/day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Ductal Carcinoma in Situ, run by Milton S. Hershey Medical 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Hot flashes (time frame: 2 years). 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 14 Mar 2019.
