Testing Low Dose Tamoxifen for Invasive Breast Cancer, the (LoTam) Trial

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This phase III trial compares the effect of low dose tamoxifen to usual hormonal therapy, including aromatase inhibitors, in treating post-menopausal women with hormone positive, HER2 negative early stage breast cancer. Tamoxifen is in a class of medications known as antiestrogens. It blocks the activity of estrogen (a female hormone) in the breast. This may stop the growth of some breast tumors that need estrogen to grow. Aromatase inhibitors, such as anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, prevent the formation of estradiol, a female hormone, by interfering with an aromatase enzyme. Aromatase inhibitors are used as a type of hormone therapy to treat postmenopausal women with hormone-dependent breast cancer. Giving low dose tamoxifen may be more effective compared to usual hormone therapy in treating post-menopausal women with hormone-positive, HER2 negative early stage breast cancer.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Unilateral invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast that is histologically confirmed
  2. * Invasive breast cancer is estrogen receptor positive in ≥ 10% of cells
  3. * HER2 negative by current American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines
  4. * The patient must have a multigene assay with a low-risk score, including any of the following (if more than one genomic assay was obtained, both are required to be low-risk):
  5. * Oncotype DX recurrence score ≤ 25
  6. * Mamma Print low risk
  7. * Prosigna risk of recurrence ≤ 40
  8. * Tumor size must be ≤ 3 cm by pathologic evaluation
  9. * Adequate surgical removal of all clinically evident disease in the breast with either breast conserving surgery or mastectomy. Negative margins on final pathology are required. Additional excisions may be performed to obtain clear margins before registration
  10. * No clinical (cN1, cN2, cN3) or pathologic (pN1mi, pN1, pN2, or pN3) evidence of lymph node involvement on either needle biopsy or surgical lymph node assessment. Patients with pN0(i+) or pN0 (mol+) are eligible
  11. * Surgical axillary staging (sentinel lymph node biopsy ± axillary lymph node dissection) is completed according to physician discretion
  12. * For patients with negative preoperative axillary ultrasonography, clinicians may selectively choose to forego surgical axillary staging. Ipsilateral axillary ultrasound showing no lymph node involvement with no evidence of lymphadenopathy or suspicious thickening is required in this scenario
  13. * No pathological tumor size \> 3 cm or pT4
  14. * No definitive clinical or radiologic evidence of metastatic disease
  15. * No palpable or radiographically suspicious axillary, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, or internal mammary lymph nodes, unless there is histologic confirmation that these lymph nodes are negative for tumor
  16. * No suspicious microcalcifications, densities, or palpable abnormalities in the ipsilateral or contralateral breast, unless biopsied and found to be benign
  17. * An interval of no more than 20 weeks between the date of surgery and the date of registration
  18. * Must have had a bilateral mammogram or MRI within 6 months prior to registration
  19. * Must be intending to take endocrine therapy for at least 5 years duration
  20. * No prior treatment with endocrine therapy or chemotherapy for the currently diagnosed breast cancer prior to registration. (Short course endocrine therapy of ≤ 6 weeks duration is acceptable after core biopsy and before surgery, if genomic testing is assessed on the biopsy core and meets eligibility requirements for a low-risk score.)
  21. * No use of oral hormone replacement therapy within 7 days prior to registration
  22. * Age ≥ 18 years
  23. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
  24. * Postmenopausal status confirmed as:
  25. * No spontaneous menses ≥ 1 year
  26. * No menses for \< 1 year with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol levels within a postmenopausal range according to institutional standards
  27. * Previous bilateral surgical oophorectomy
  28. * None of the following conditions:
  29. * Abnormal or dysfunctional uterine bleeding within 1 year prior to study enrollment
  30. * Any patient with known atypia or endometrial pathology that the opinion of the treating investigator would place the patient at undue risk of endometrial cancer with tamoxifen.
  31. * Any patient with a known hypercoagulable state that in the opinion of the treating investigator would put the patient at undue risk of venous thromboembolism with tamoxifen
  32. * No history of breast or thoracic radiotherapy for any previous condition. Patients may complete radiotherapy for the currently diagnosed breast cancer prior to registering for the study. In this scenario, registration must be completed within 12 weeks of completing breast radiotherapy
  33. * No previous history of ipsilateral invasive breast cancer or ipsilateral ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), regardless of the disease-free interval
  34. * No synchronous or previous contralateral invasive or non-invasive breast cancer
  35. * Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial
  36. * No patients with premenopausal status
  37. * No current treatment with any endocrine therapy for breast cancer prevention or osteoporosis, including raloxifene, tamoxifen, or other selective estrogen receptor modulator. Patients intending to continue oral hormone replacement are not eligible
  38. * HIV-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial
  1. Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  2. Severe psychiatric disorders
  3. Active substance abuse
  4. Unstable medical conditions
  5. Inability to comply with study requirements
