Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer clinical trials at UCSD
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
AMXT 1501 and DFMO in Combination With Standard Therapies in Advanced Solid Tumors
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary effectiveness of AMXT 1501 and DFMO when combined with standard treatments for advanced solid tumors. The trial includes two groups: - Cohort 1: Patients with ER+ / HER2- breast cancer receiving fulvestrant and capivasertib - Cohort 2: Patients with unresectable or metastatic cutaneous melanoma receiving pembrolizumab The Phase 1b portion will find the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). The Phase 2 portion will further evaluate clinical activity at the RP2D using response criteria for solid tumors (RECIST 1.1). The study will also evaluate pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, disease control, and overall safety.

Testing Low Dose Tamoxifen for Invasive Breast Cancer, LoTam Trial
Sorry, currently not accepting new patients, but might later
This phase III trial compares the effect of low dose tamoxifen to usual hormonal therapy, including aromatase inhibitors, in treating post-menopausal women with hormone positive, HER2 negative early stage breast cancer. Tamoxifen is in a class of medications known as antiestrogens. It blocks the activity of estrogen (a female hormone) in the breast. This may stop the growth of some breast tumors that need estrogen to grow. Aromatase inhibitors, such as anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, prevent the formation of estradiol, a female hormone, by interfering with an aromatase enzyme. Aromatase inhibitors are used as a type of hormone therapy to treat postmenopausal women with hormone-dependent breast cancer. Giving low dose tamoxifen may be more effective compared to usual hormone therapy in treating post-menopausal women with hormone-positive, HER2 negative early stage breast cancer.
