Deslorelin Combined With Low-Dose Add-Back Estradiol and Testosterone in Preventing Breast Cancer in Premenopausal Women Who Are at High Risk for This Disease
Biomarkers, Breast Density And Risk Reduction Perspectives In BRCA Carriers

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. Deslorelin combined with low-dose add-back estradiol and testosterone (given to replace hormones suppressed by deslorelin) may be effective in preventing breast cancer in at-risk women.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving deslorelin together with estradiol and testosterone works in preventing breast cancer in premenopausal women who are at high risk for this disease.

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the effects of deslorelin in combination with low-dose add-back estradiol and testosterone on the breast of premenopausal women with or without a BRCA gene mutation who are at high risk for breast cancer.
  • Correlate changes in mammographic and MRI densities with tissue morphometrics and biomarkers in participants treated with this regimen.
  • Determine cell proliferation and changes in estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, or aromatase expression in participants treated with this regimen.
  • Determine perspectives about risk reduction options in participants treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the impact of this regimen on the quality of life of these participants.
  • Analyze the expression of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in breast tissue of these participants before and after treatment with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

Participants receive intranasal deslorelin, estradiol, and testosterone once daily for 6-10 months.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, at 6 and 10 months, and then every 6 months until 2 years after study registration.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 10 participants will be accrued for this study.
