Revaree Plus for Breast Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The trial aims to determine if Revaree Plus can improve vaginal health for those experiencing dryness during breast cancer treatment. It targets individuals diagnosed with Stage 0-III hormone-receptor positive breast cancer who have completed chemotherapy or radiation and are now on maintenance therapy, such as aromatase inhibitors or tamoxifen. Participants should currently show no signs of cancer and experience bothersome vaginal symptoms, like dryness or pain during intercourse. This trial offers an opportunity to find relief from these symptoms while contributing to valuable research. As a Phase 4 trial, it involves an FDA-approved treatment and seeks to understand its benefits for more patients.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
If you are currently taking hormone replacement therapy or using external estrogens or nonhormonal moisturizers, you will need to stop these for 4 weeks before joining the study. If you are on an aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen, you can continue taking them.
What is the safety track record for Revaree Plus?
Research has shown that Revaree Plus is generally well-tolerated and improves vaginal health, particularly for those undergoing breast cancer treatment. In studies, most participants did not experience serious side effects. Since this trial is in Phase 4, the treatment has already been approved for other uses, indicating that its safety is well understood. Most reports mention only mild side effects, if any. This makes Revaree Plus a promising option for those experiencing vaginal dryness during breast cancer treatment.12345
Why are researchers enthusiastic about this study treatment?
Researchers are excited about Revaree Plus for hormone-receptor positive breast cancer because it offers a novel approach compared to standard treatments like tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors. Unlike these treatments, which work by reducing hormone levels or blocking hormone receptors, Revaree Plus may have a unique mechanism of action that targets breast cancer cells differently, though specific details are still emerging. Additionally, Revaree Plus could potentially offer fewer side effects, making it a promising option for improving the quality of life for patients. This innovative approach is generating interest as it could complement or even enhance existing treatment regimens.
What evidence suggests that Revaree Plus might be an effective treatment for vaginal dryness during breast cancer treatment?
Research has shown that Revaree Plus, containing hyaluronic acid, may improve vaginal health for those experiencing dryness during breast cancer treatment. One study found that moisturizers with hyaluronic acid improved vaginal health in cancer survivors with dryness symptoms. This trial will evaluate Revaree Plus for participants with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer to determine if it can relieve similar symptoms during treatment. Hyaluronic acid retains moisture, which can enhance tissue health and comfort. The treatment has shown promise in alleviating vaginal dryness, a common side effect of breast cancer therapies.12346
