A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of 4-hydroxytamoxifen Topical Gel in Women With Mammographically Dense Breast

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2021

194 participants

Abstract

This randomized phase II trial studies how well afimoxifene works in reducing the risk of breast cancer in women with mammographically dense breast. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using afimoxifene may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells.

Conditions: Mammographically Dense Breast.

Primary outcome: Mammographic Breast Density Using Cumulus Software.

Enrollment: 194 participants.
