Breast Cancer Clinical Trial in Columbus, OH

About This Breast Cancer Study in Columbus

This phase IIA trial compares the effect of acolbifene versus low dose tamoxifen in preventing breast cancer in premenopausal women at high risk for developing breast cancer. The usual approach for patients at increased risk for breast cancer is to undergo yearly breast magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound in addition to yearly mammogram. Premenopausal women at very high lifetime risk for breast cancer (greater than 50%) can consider preventive removal (mastectomy) of both breasts. Premenopa

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Age \>= 35 years

Considered clinically premenopausal

Having regular menstrual cycles (between 21 and 35 days) unless a contraceptive device such as progestin containing intrauterine device (IUD) (e.g., Mirena IUD) or oral contraceptives is being used which suppresses menstrual periods, or premenopausal women who have undergone a hysterectomy, but have at least one intact ovary

Not considering pregnancy for at least 12 months

Women of child-bearing potential capacity who are heterosexually active must be willing to have used effective birth control precautions for 8 weeks prior to fine needle aspiration and be willing to continue for 8 weeks after study completion as tamoxifen may have teratogenic effects on the developing fetus. Reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have not been conducted with acolbifene. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she must stop study drug and inform her study physician immediately.

For women who are heterosexually active not using oral contraceptive (progestin alone or estrogen plus a progestin), two of the following are recommended but woman must agree to at least one of the following methods:

IUD non-hormonal or hormone containing (usually a progestin) intrauterine device (IUD) or rings. Any of these should have been inserted at least 8 weeks prior to RPFNA.

Barrier method (such as condoms and diaphragms or cervical caps with or without a spermicide)

Partner has had a vasectomy.

For women who are heterosexually active using oral contraceptive (progestin alone or estrogen plus a progestin), woman must agree to at least a non- hormonal IUD or a barrier method (below) or her partner must have had a vasectomy:

Non-hormonal IUD

Barrier method (such as condoms and diaphragms or cervical caps with or without a spermicide)

Partner has had a vasectomy

Must have increased breast cancer risk as predicted by any one or more of the conditions listed below or increased model calculated risk as below:

Any one or more of the following conditions associated with increased risk (condition must be documented in electronic medical record or copy of relevant pathology or genetic testing reports submitted with the eligibility checklist)

A prior biopsy at any time in the past showing ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), atypical hyperplasia. (If DCIS must have been treated by mastectomy or local excision +/- radiation with this treatment completed at least 3 months prior to screening with RPFNA)

High or moderate penetrance risk pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline gene mutation in ATM, BARD1, BRIP1, CDH1, CHEK2, MSH6, NBN, NF1, PTEN, PMS2, RAD51C, RAD51D, TP53, BRCA2, or PALB2

High polygenic risk score (Life-time risk of \>= 2x average or 25%)

Breast cancer in a first or second degree relative (female or male) with onset under age 50. First degree relative is defined as parent, sibling, or child. Second degree relative is defined as grandparent, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, half-sibling, grandchild or first cousin

Two or more affected first or second-degree relatives from either the maternal or paternal lineage without regard to age

Bilateral breast cancer or breast and ovarian cancer in the same first or second degree relative without regard to age.

High mammographic density defined as either visual estimate of area of density (VAS) \> 50%, or Volpara (Trademark) \>= 15% dense volume (Volpara d) or Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) assessment of extremely dense (BIRADs D)

Chest irradiation prior to age 30

Alternatively, instead of conditions listed above, an increased risk of breast cancer as calculated by International Breast Cancer Intervention Study Version 8 (IBIS 8), or Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) 3 by one or more of the following criteria:

10-year risk of breast cancer of \>= 3%

Increase in age specific 10-year relative risk by age group

Age 35-39 10-year relative risk of \>= 5X that for age group

Age 40-44 10-year risk of \>= 4X that for age group

Age 45 and up 10-year risk of \>= 2X

IBIS Version 8 Remaining lifetime risk of \>= 25% or \>= 2X that of population

A copy of the output of model calculations from IBIS 8 (https://ems-trials.org/riskevaluator/), or BCSC version 3.0 (https://tools.bcsc-scc.org/BC5yearRisk/calculator.htm) online tools, if used for qualifying risk assessment, or polygenetic risk score should be submitted with the eligibility checklist. Otherwise, these risk qualifying factors need to be documented in the medical record if that is considered the source document

Women must have at least 1 unaffected untreated breast for fine needle aspiration. Women may have had prior unilateral breast radiation or mastectomy for DCIS

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) current performance status (PS) ≤ 2 as documented within 3 months prior to randomization or Karnofsky score \>= 60%

Total bilirubin =\< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (measured within 180 days prior to randomization)

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\]) =\< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (measured within 180 days prior to randomization)

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (measured within 180 days prior to randomization)

Creatinine =\< 2.0 mg/dL (measured within 180 days prior to randomization)

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Confirmation that fixed (Cytolyt™) and frozen tissue specimens have been received in good condition at KUMC and are likely adequate for assessment of the primary endpoint. Confirmation will be provided by Protocol PI(s) and/or KUMC Laboratory personnel

Confirmation that a Volpara™ Score Card or a Volpara Data Manager (VDM)-generated Excel file has been received at KUMC and archived for assessment of the secondary endpoint. Confirmation will be provided by Protocol PI(s) and/or KUMC study coordinator. Alternatively, confirmation may be provided by site personnel that a raw image file in Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format has been archived at the site such that it can be later used for generation of a Volpara™ Score Card or Excel file

Prior treatment with acolbifene for more than 2 months

Prior treatment with tamoxifen for more than 2 months

Current use of prescription immunosuppressive drugs

History of allergic reactions attributed to tamoxifen or acolbifene or compounds of similar chemical composition
