I have just heard about a new Tamoxifen study that will be starting soon. Does anyone have any information about this? Thanks - Tammy

This is a study report just released. Looking around I don't find any new Tamoxifen clinical trial as yet.

Are you referring to the "SOFT" study where they are comparing tamoxifen alone vs. tamoxifen with ovarian suppression in premenopausal women? My onc just told me about this because she is trying to decide what to do with me now that I am just about done with chemo and ready to think about hormone therapy (I was "weakly" positive for ER.) I don't know if it is a study in progress already or if it is recruiting. Anyone else know more? Diagnosis: 7/17/2009, IDC, <1cm, Grade 3, 0/1 nodes, ER-/PR-, HER2+ |

I have just contacted the Cancer Treatment Center where I am being treated and asked to be called about this study - they estimate it will begin in the next two weeks.

I read that SOFT is getting such poor recruitment that it will not likely fulfill enrolment. I'm thinking many Oncologists are simply recomending ovarian suppression outside of the trial and thus the trial has little recruitment. Its a shame, because within the trial useful data will be accumulated to help others later in making the decision. |
