This trial is evaluating whether Enzalutamide will improve 2 primary outcomes, 9 secondary outcomes, and 9 other outcomes in patients with Breast Cancer. Measurement will happen over the course of Baseline up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug or before initiation of a new antitumor treatment, whichever occurred first (up to 3 years).
This trial requires 247 total participants across 2 different treatment groups
This trial involves 2 different treatments. Enzalutamide is the primary treatment being studied. Participants will all receive the same treatment. Some patients will receive a placebo treatment. The treatments being tested are in Phase 2 and have already been tested with other people.
"The cause of breast cancer is currently not known but it appears to be associated with external (medical and environmental) and internal factors such as physical abuse and smoking." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Breast cancer cannot be cured. In this subset of patients, adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy and/or surgery may offer only modest increases in survival relative to nonadjuvant treatment, whereas the risk profiles associated with adjuvant treatment are generally associated with a high potential of relapse and poor prognosis. Patients with breast cancer whose disease remains local at the time of curative surgery have a high probability of relapse within 4 or 5 years after initial surgery and have an inelastic potential for improvement with adjuvant therapy. Thus, patients with non-metastatic breast cancer should not be denied adjuvant therapy for the sole reason that a cure is not possible (i.e." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"Not all patients with [breast cancer](https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/breast-cancer) feel, look, or behave like their cancer; some will have only one of these features, while others will have several, or all three. It is the combination or not the combination of these signs that define a specific class of breast cancer, called atypical ductal hyperplasia or borderline mammographic abnormality." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Some [breast cancer](https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/breast-cancer)s, particularly those with positive lymph nodes, metastasize more rapidly than others. A number of breast cancer types are curable, but the 5-year survival rates for a series of aggressive breast cancers were between 0% and 65%, depending on the type of cancer. Breast cancer is usually treated with surgery, surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. There was little difference in breast cancer 5 year survival rates between treatments, even when stratified for nodal stage (determining the extent to which the cancer has invaded local tissue and lymphatics), and by size of tumor surgically resectable (that is, to what extent it could be removed without severely damaging vital normal tissue)." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"In 2014, there were 3.1 million newly diagnosed [breast cancer](https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/breast-cancer) cases and 434,000 deaths globally. About 1 in 4 cancers are related to changes in environment; about half of breast cancers occur in women who were either younger than 40 in the time of their reproductive life, overweight over their lifetime, and/or born in the 1930s. The strongest environmental risk factors are age, body mass index, and mode of delivery. Breast cancer is commonly diagnosed in women who are 30 and 40 years of age; this is likely due to environmental factors associated with breast cancer risk because it increases during the pubertal period, when estrogen levels are increasing and estrogen receptor levels are elevated." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Enzalutamide has an early effect on the tumor, leading to an increase in PSA levels. One cycle of enzalutamide reduced PSA levels in 15/17 patients. Treatment-related fatigue did not occur during this study. Further study on enzalutamide-induced reduction of PSA levels and fatigue is warranted." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Breast cancer is rare because it rarely reaches great distances. However, its presence can not be sensed by the patient if the cancer is only one of several benign tumors. One must pay attention to the location of the breast cancer. This is important because breast cancer can spread through a number of routes such as lymph nodes, venous vessels, and even the bone marrow, so it is important to seek immediate treatment\n" - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The study was designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of enzalutamide for ER+ and HR+ breast cancer. We were unable to find evidence to support these results suggesting that further testing is warranted." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"This pivotal trial confirms that enzalutamide is an active and well-tolerated drug for a treatment that has proved to be a powerful advance in the therapy of metastatic castration-refractory prostate cancer patients." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Treatment of HR+ metastatic breast cancer with enzalutamide is not associated with an increased frequency of severe side effects compared with letrozole or capecitabine when used in high-risk patients. Enzalutamide may afford HR+ metastatic breast cancer patients a longer and possibly more satisfying progression-free survival." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The combination of enzalutamide combined with androgen-deprivation therapy for patients who are not candidates for or had undergone previous hormonal therapy is very promising for prostate cancer treatment. Since one of the main drawbacks of enzalutamide only once is its higher price compared to its rivals, further research for the efficacy of this combined therapy and elucidation of its synergies are highly warranted." - Anonymous Online Contributor
