Endocrine Therapy Interruption in Increasing Risk of Recurrence in Younger Patients with Hormone Receptor-Positive, Stage I-III Breast Cancer Who Desire Pregnancy
This clinical trial studies endocrine therapy interruption in increasing risk of recurrence in younger patients with hormone receptor-positive, stage I-III breast cancer who desire pregnancy. Stopping endocrine therapy temporarily, with the goal of permitting pregnancy, may increase risk of breast cancer recurrence.
Inclusion Criteria
- Has received adjuvant endocrine therapy (selective estrogen receptor modulator [SERM] alone, gonadotropin-releasing hormone [GnRH] analogue plus SERM or aromatase inhibitors [AI]) for >= 18 months but =< 30 months for early breast cancer * Note: patients who have received neo/adjuvant endocrine treatment within a clinical trial and patients who have received pharmaco-prevention are eligible
- The adjuvant endocrine therapy must have stopped within 1 month prior to enrollment
- Patient wishes to become pregnant * Note: patients who have undergone oocyte/embryo/ovarian tissue cryopreservation at breast cancer diagnosis and/or have a previous history of assisted reproductive technology (ART) are eligible
- Breast cancer for which patient is receiving endocrine therapy must have been histologically-proven stage I-III, endocrine-responsive (i.e., estrogen and/or progesterone receptor positive, according to local definition of positive, determined using immunohistochemistry [IHC]), and treated with curative intent * Note: ** Patients with synchronous bilateral invasive breast cancer (diagnosed histologically within 2 months) are eligible ** Patient with invasive breast cancer or synchronous bilateral invasive breast cancer (diagnosed histologically within 2 months) during pregnancy are eligible ** Patients with breast cancer 1/2, early onset (BRCA1/2) mutations are eligible ** Patients could have received neo/adjuvant chemotherapy, or other systemic therapy (e.g., neo/adjuvant human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2]-targeted therapy) according to institutional policy and patient’s desire
- Patient must be premenopausal at breast cancer diagnosis, as determined locally and documented in patient record; (Note: it is understood that patients’ menopausal status may be unclear at the time of study enrollment)
- Patient must be without clinical evidence of loco-regional and distant disease, as evaluated according to institutional assessment standards and documented in the patient record
- Written informed consent (IC) for trial participation must be signed and dated by the patient and the investigator prior to enrollment
- Written consent to biological material submission, indicating the patient has been informed of and agrees to tissue and blood material use, transfer and handling, must be signed and dated by the patient and the investigator prior to any procedures specific for this trial
- The patient has been informed of and agrees to data transfer and handling, in accordance with national data protection guidelines
- Patient must be accessible for follow-up
Exclusion Criteria
- Post-menopausal patients at breast cancer (BC) diagnosis, as determined locally
- History of hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or ovarian irradiation
- Patients with current local, loco-regional relapse and/or distant metastatic breast cancer
- Patients with a history of prior (ipsilateral [ipsi]- and/or contralateral) invasive BC
- Patients with previous or concomitant non-breast invasive malignancy; exceptions are limited exclusively to patients with the following previous malignancies, if adequately treated: basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ non-breast carcinoma, contra- or ipsilateral in situ breast carcinoma, stage Ia carcinoma of the cervix
- Concurrent disease or condition that would make the patient inappropriate for study participation or any serious medical disorder that would interfere with the patient’s safety
- Patients with a history of noncompliance to medical treatments and/or considered potentially unreliable
- Patients with psychiatric, addictive, or any disorder that would prevent compliance with protocol requirements

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the risk of breast cancer relapse associated with temporary interruption of endocrine therapy (ET) to permit pregnancy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate factors associated with pregnancy success after interruption of ET.
OUTLINE:
Patients who have completed 18-30 months of endocrine therapy, undergo ET interruption for up to 2 years to allow for conception and delivery (with or without breastfeeding). Patients then continue to receive endocrine therapy for up to 5-10 years at the discretion of treating physician according to patient's risk.
After completion of study, patients are followed up every 6 months for 5 years and then yearly for 5 years.
