Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of Z-endoxifen to treat patients with ER+ breast cancer. Z-endoxifen may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by tumor cells.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for postmenopausal women with ER+ metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer. Participants must have had prior hormone therapy, be able to swallow capsules, and have a life expectancy over 16 weeks. They should not have uncontrolled brain metastases, recent seizures, active blood clots, or other severe diseases that could interfere with the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Z-endoxifen hydrochloride's safety and optimal dosage in patients whose breast cancer grows in response to estrogen. It includes lab biomarker analysis and pharmacological studies along with questionnaires about patient experiences.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Z-endoxifen hydrochloride may include reactions similar to those seen with other hormone therapies such as hot flashes, fatigue, joint pain, and an increased risk of blood clots. The exact side effects will be studied as part of the trial.
