Trial Information

Phase IIb Trial of G-2535 (Unconjugated Isoflavones-100) in Women at High Risk for Breast Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the effect of genistein on the proliferation of breast epithelial cells
obtained by fine needle aspiration (FNA), as measured by Ki-67 labeling index, in women
who are at high risk for breast cancer.

Secondary

- Determine the effect of this drug on cellular and molecular parameters using epithelial
cells obtained by FNA, nipple aspirate fluid, and blood from these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients are
stratified according to menopausal status (premenopausal vs postmenopausal) and history of
breast cancer (no history of breast cancer vs history of estrogen receptor [ER] positive
breast cancer vs history of ER negative breast cancer). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2
treatment arms.

- Arm I: Patients receive oral genistein once daily.

- Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo once daily. In both arms, treatment continues for
up to 6 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 30-37 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 150 patients will be accrued for this study.
