About this study

The study is a prospective randomized control clinical trial which is sponsored by the researchers. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Gonadotropin-Releasing hormone agonist on ovarian function for premenopausal breast cancer patients during chemotherapy. The premenopausal breast cancer patients will be randomly (1:1) enrolled to receive standard chemotherapy with the GnRH agonist goserelin (goserelin group) or standard chemotherapy without goserelin (chemotherapy alone group). All patients are stratified according to age (<35years vs.36-44years), hormone receptor status (HR+ or ER+ vs.HR- and ER-), chemotherapy regimen(3-4 cycles vs.6-8 cycles, and cyclophosphamide-based vs.noncyclophosphamide).The follow-up time will be at least 2years. The ovarian failure, follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol and anti-Mullerian hormone, pregnancy outcomes and disease-free and overall survival will be compared between two groups to evaluate the effectiveness of protect against ovarian failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. ovarian failure

    Ovarian failure is defined as amenorrhea for the preceding 6 months and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and E2 levels in the post -menopausal range 2 year after the end of chemotherapy.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Ovarian dysfunction

    Ovarian dysfunction is defined as amenorrhea for the preceding 3 months and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and E2 levels in the post -menopausal range 1 year or 2year after the end of chemotherapy.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Time to the resumption of menstrual activity

    Time to the resumption of menstrual activity will be assessed at 3month,1 year and 2year after the end of chemotherapy.

    Measured: 2 year

  3. pregnancy

    whether pregnancy will be accessed at 1year, 2year, 3year, 4year, 5year after the end of chemotherapy

    Measured: 5 year

  4. DFS OS

    Disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) will be assessed at 5years after the end of chemotherapy.

    Measured: 5 year

  5. FSH,E2,AMH

    FSH, estradiol, and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels in the postmenopausal range will be assessed at 3month,1 year and 2year after the end of chemotherapy.

    Measured: 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing goserelin and standard chemotherapy in people with Breast Cancer, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

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 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 17 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

ovarian failure (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 17 Oct 2017.
