AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for premenopausal women aged 18 to 55 with early-stage or advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It tests how well ZOLADEX 10.8 mg switches off the ovaries.

Age
18 to 55 years
Sex
Women only
Disease stage
Hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (ER+ or PR+, 1% to 100% of tumor nuclei positive). Two groups: early-stage (Stage I, II or III, T1-T4, N0-N3, M0) or locally advanced or metastatic disease that cannot be cured by surgery or radiation.
Earlier treatment
Earlier radiotherapy, chemotherapy, CDK4/6 inhibitors, PIK3CA/AKT inhibitors, bisphosphonates, endocrine therapy and HER2-targeted therapy are allowed. Side effects of earlier radiotherapy or chemotherapy must have recovered to Grade 1 or less (alopecia is excepted; for chemotherapy, peripheral neuropathy or paresthesia up to Grade 2). People who took a GnRH agonist or other endocrine therapy must have been premenopausal before starting it, within 6 months before joining. Tamoxifen or other SERMs must be stopped before joining.
Biomarker or test result
Estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PR) positive breast cancer. Must be premenopausal. A negative pregnancy test is needed.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Postmenopausal, naturally or after surgery
  • Both ovaries removed, or earlier radiotherapy to the ovaries
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • BMI below 18 or above 35.0 kg/m^2
  • Expected survival under 6 months, or ECOG performance status 3 or higher
