Brief Summary:
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the possibility that a topical drug could restore nipple sensitivity and improve sexual quality of life in breast cancer survivors.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Sexual Dysfunction Sexual Arousal Disorder Sexual Dysfunction, Physiological Breast Cancer Nipple Disorder Neuropathy Cancer of Breast Drug: AB-101 Drug: Placebo Early Phase 1

Detailed Description:
Approximately, 80% of breast cancer survivors undergoing will suffer from a permanent reduced reduction in nipple sensitivity and associated lowerdecrease in sexual quality of life. Currently, there are no treatments for restoring nipple sensitivity and the associatedto improve lower sexual quality of life this condition. It would thus be of great clinical benefit to post breast surgery patients if a provide a new safe and , effective , topical , on-demand, treatment for this condition can be developed.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Delayed Orgasm Grade [ Time Frame: [baseline, week 8] ]

    Change in Delayed Orgasm Grade (CTCAE v4.0 - Common Terminology of Adverse Events) CTCAE v4.0 is the NIH Common Terminology of Adverse Events v4.0

    Delayed Orgasm is defined as: A disorder characterized by sexual dysfunction characterized by a delay in climax.

    This is a binary grading system:

    Grade 0:Delay in achieving orgasm not adversely affecting relationship Grade 1:Delay in achieving orgasm adversely affecting relationship
