Trial Information

A Phase II Study of Fulvestrant in Premenopausal Women With Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer


Patients will receive an injection of fulvestrant on first day of treatment and then again 2
weeks later and again 2 weeks after that. Then patients will receive injections every 4
weeks.

Routine blood tests will be performed each time an injection is given.

Patients will be required to complete a hot flash diary, recording the number and severity
of hot flashes they experience on a daily basis.

After every 12 weeks of treatment, patients' disease will be assessed by x-rays or scans.
If there is no disease progression, the patient will continue to receive injections every 4
weeks with reassessment every 8 weeks.

Patients will continue to receive treatment as long as there is no disease progression or
serious side effects.
