Long Term Cohort Study of Adding Ovarian Function Suppression to Tamoxifen in Young Women (ASTRRAIV)

July 30, 2026 updated by: MedicalExcellence

Prospective Cohort Study of Adding Ovarian Function Suppression to Tamoxifen in Young Women With Hormone-sensitive Breast Cancer Who Remain Premenopausal or Resume Menstruation After Chemotherapy: ASTRRA- IV Study

This study evaluates the long-term effects of adding 2 years of ovarian function suppression (OFS) to tamoxifen therapy in young premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer after chemotherapy. The study will assess recurrence, breast cancer-specific survival, and overall survival beyond 10 years to determine the long-term benefits of OFS treatment.

Detailed Description

To evaluate the long-term outcomes beyond 10 years of the Korean Breast Cancer Society-sponsored multicenter prospective ASTRRA trial, we aim to compare the effects of adding 2 years of ovarian function suppression (OFS) therapy to standard tamoxifen treatment in premenopausal young women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who preserved or recovered ovarian function after chemotherapy. Given the characteristic pattern of delayed recurrence in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer compared with other molecular subtypes, this long-term follow-up study will assess the durability and safety of the treatment strategy by evaluating disease-free survival (DFS) beyond 10 years, breast cancer-specific survival, and overall survival. In addition, through analyses of recurrence patterns according to treatment groups, we aim to determine the long-term impact of additional OFS therapy on reducing different types of recurrence.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Estimated)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
July 1, 2026

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Estimated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
