Goserelin in Preventing Ovarian Failure in Women Receiving Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer
| Phase | Type | Status | Age | Sponsor | Protocol IDs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase III | Supportive care | Closed | 18 to 49 | NCI | SWOG-S0230 CALGB-40401, ECOG-S0230, NCT00068601, IBCSG-34-05, EUDRACT-2006-002600-33, EU-20632 |
Objectives
Primary
- Compare the rate of premature ovarian failure in women with stage I-IIIA hormone receptor-negative breast cancer treated with chemotherapy with vs without goserelin.
Secondary
- Compare the rate of ovarian dysfunction in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare ovarian reserve in patients treated with these regimens.
- Describe the pregnancy rates in patients treated with these regimens.

Expected Enrollment
416A total of 416 patients (208 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome(s)Rate of premature ovarian failure at 2 years
Rate of ovarian dysfunction at 1 and 2 years
Ovarian reserve at 1 and 2 years
Outline
This is a randomized study. Patients are stratified according to age (under 40 vs 40 to 49) and planned chemotherapy regimen (3- to 4-month/course anthracycline-based vs 6- to 8-month/course anthracycline-based vs 3- to 4-month/course non-anthracycline-based vs 6- to 8-month/course non-anthracycline-based). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive goserelin subcutaneously once every 4 weeks beginning 1 week before start of cyclophosphamide-containing chemotherapy. Treatment continues until completion of chemotherapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Arm II: Patients receive cyclophosphamide-containing chemotherapy alone.
Patients are followed at 1, 2, and 5 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
