Study of Imlunestrant in Premenopausal Women with ER+ HER2- Early Breast Cancer

Sponsor: Eli Lilly and Company

Sponsor score: 60

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07287098

This clinical trial is exploring how the drug imlunestrant affects early-stage breast cancer in premenopausal women. The study compares imlunestrant with tamoxifen, focusing on its impact on cancer cells and ovarian function.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This study involves two groups of premenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and HER2-negative. The first group will receive imlunestrant, with some participants also receiving treatment to suppress ovarian function. The effects will be compared to tamoxifen over a period of up to 29 days. The second group will take imlunestrant without ovarian suppression, also compared to tamoxifen, for up to 6 months. Researchers aim to understand how imlunestrant affects both cancer cells and ovarian function.
