Impact of Formulation Change on Ovarian Suppression in Young Breast Cancer Patients.

A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study-Impact of Formulation Change on Ovarian Suppression in Young Breast Cancer Patients (IFOCOS)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled, phase II study. The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of endocrine therapy modification (switching from a 3-month to a 1-month GnRHa) versus continuation of the 3-month GnRHa on E2 control at 3 months in young patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and iOFS.

Prior treatment

  • Concomitant use of hormonal agents other than estrogen, progesterone, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM), or selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERD);
  • Failure to comply with follow-up or psychiatric disorders.
    • Step 2:Randomized treatment phase
    • a)Prior conversion from a 3-month GnRHa to a 1-month GnRHa.

Other illness

  • Bilateral breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer, or distant metastasis;
  • History of ovarian resection or ablation; planned pregnancy or breastfeeding;
  • Other malignancies within the past 5 years (except for curatively treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal cell carcinoma);

Other

  • Step 1:iOFS detection phase
  • Use of GnRHa for ovarian function preservation;
  • Severe uncontrolled comorbidities;

Who the study is looking for

  • Step 1:iOFS detection phase
  • Female, aged ≥18 and ≤45 years;
  • Histologically confirmed hormone receptor-positive (HR+) (estrogen receptor \[ER\] and/or progesterone receptor \[PR\] ≥1%) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) early invasive breast cancer (stage I-III according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer \[AJCC\], version 8);
  • Completed curative surgery, with prior (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy completed if applicable;
  • Currently receiving adjuvant therapy with a 3-month GnRH agonist (GnRHa) plus aromatase inhibitor (AI) or tamoxifen (TAM), with or without CDK4/6 inhibitors (excluding abemaciclib due to its potential interference with estradiol monitoring), for ≥1 dose, and presenting with estradiol (E2) ≥30 pg/mL within 28 days prior to enrollment (measured by CLIA).
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0-1; adequate bone marrow, hepatic, renal, and cardiac function.
  • Voluntarily sign a written informed consent form before the trial screening.
    • Step 2:Randomized treatment phase
  • iOFS confirmed using the SEMS assay (E2 ≥30 pg/mL);
  • Ongoing adjuvant therapy with a 3-month GnRHa plus AI or TAM, with or without CDK4/6 inhibitors.
  • No evidence of disease progression.
