About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This phase IV trial studies whether adding semaglutide to structured lifestyle support improves heart and blood vessel health in postmenopausal obese breast cancer survivors (BCS) who are taking an aromatase inhibitor. In postmenopausal BCS who are taking an aromatase inhibitor, obesity raises the risk of heart and blood vessel problems. Semaglutide is a medicine approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for weight loss and for lowering the risk of heart events in people with heart disease. The structured lifestyle support in this trial includes counseling on nutrition and physical activity which provides specific recommendations for individuals to follow.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Arm I (LM)Existing treatment, for comparison
Patients receive recommendations for a structured lifestyle intervention over 24 weeks consisting of the following: 1) a low-calorie diet based on their Harris-Benedict predicted resting energy expenditure, reduced by 500 kcal/day; (2) a physical activity goal of ≥ 10,000 steps/day; (3) ≥ 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise with resistance training; and (4) limited liquid calorie intake (e.g., sodas, juices, alcohol). Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection, vascular function testing, and DEXA on study.
Treatment: Biospecimen Collection, Dual X-ray Absorptiometry, Functional Assessment, and Lifestyle Counseling
- Arm II (LM+Sema)Treatment being tested
Patients receive recommendations for a structured lifestyle intervention over 24 weeks consisting of the following: 1) a low-calorie diet based on their Harris-Benedict predicted resting energy expenditure, reduced by 500 kcal/day; (2) a physical activity goal of ≥ 10,000 steps/day; (3) ≥ 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise with resistance training; and (4) limited liquid calorie intake (e.g., sodas, juices, alcohol). Patients also receive semaglutide SC QW for up to 24 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection, vascular function testing, and DEXA on study.
Treatment: Biospecimen Collection, Dual X-ray Absorptiometry, Functional Assessment, Lifestyle Counseling, and Semaglutide
