| Brief Title † | Bexarotene in Preventing Breast Cancer in Women at Genetic Risk | ||||
| Official Title † | A Multicenter Randomized Double-Blind Trial Of Targretin Capsules Modifying Immunophenotypic Markers Related To Breast Cancer Progression In Breast Tissue From Genetically Identified High Risk Patients | ||||
| Brief Summary | RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy uses certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. It is not yet known whether bexarotene is effective in preventing breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of bexarotene in preventing breast cancer in women who are at genetic risk of developing breast cancer. |
||||
| Detailed Description | OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to menopausal status (women with a uterus who have not had a menstrual period for more than 1 year vs any woman over 55 years old vs women 55 years and under without a uterus whose follicle-stimulating hormone is in the postmenopausal range). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Patients are followed at 30 days. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients (50 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 4 years. |
