A study to learn more about how well elinzanetant works and how safe it is compared to placebo for the treatment of hot flashes caused by anti-cancer therapy in women with, or at high risk for developing hormone-receptor positive breast cancer
EU CTIS ID: 2023-508265-33-00
What this study is testing
To evaluate the efficacy of elinzanetant for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms (VMS) caused by adjuvant endocrine therapy in women with, or at high risk for developing hormone receptor positive breast cancer
- Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)
A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Females aged 18 to 70 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Women experiencing vasomotor symptoms (VMS) caused by adjuvant endocrine therapy that they are expected to use for the duration of the study a) Tamoxifen with or without the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues or b) Aromatase inhibitors with or without the use of GnRH analogues
- Women must have a. a personal history of hormone-receptor positive breast cancer or b. a high risk for developing breast cancer.
- Participant has completed Hot Flash Daily Diary (HFDD) for at least 11 days during the two weeks preceding baseline visit, and participant has recorded at least 35 moderate to severe hot flash (HF) (including night-time HF) over the last 7 days that the HFDD was completed (assessed at the Baseline Visit).
- Contraceptive use by women (except for post-menopausal women or Women of Non childbearing potential [WONCBP]) should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
You likely can't join if
- Initial diagnosis of metastatic hormone-receptor positive breast cancer (stage IV) or recurrence under adjuvant endocrine therapy of hormonereceptor positive breast cancer.
- Current or history (except complete remission for 5 years or more prior to signing informed consent) of any malignancy, except for hormone-receptor positive breast cancer (Stage 0-III), basal and squamous cell skin tumors.
- Surgery or non-surgical (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy) treatment for breast cancer within the last 3 months prior to signing informed consent (except use of tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, GnRH analogues).
- Any clinically significant prior or ongoing history of arrhythmias, heart block and QT prolongation either determined through clinical history or on electrocardiogram (ECG) evaluation.
- Any active ongoing condition that could cause difficulty in interpreting VMS such as: infection that could cause pyrexia, pheochromocytoma, carcinoid syndrome.
- Any unexplained vaginal bleeding.
