Impact of Formulation Change on Ovarian Suppression in Young Breast Cancer Patients. (IFOCOS)

20. maj 2026 opdateret af: Jian Zhang,MD, Fudan University

A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study-Impact of Formulation Change on Ovarian Suppression in Young Breast Cancer Patients (IFOCOS)

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled, phase II study. The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of endocrine therapy modification (switching from a 3-month to a 1-month GnRHa) versus continuation of the 3-month GnRHa on E2 control at 3 months in young patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and iOFS.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

In China, breast cancer occurs at a young age, with a peak incidence at 40-49 years; patients aged ≤45 years account for 20%-24% of cases, and this proportion is increasing. Ovarian function suppression (OFS) combined with aromatase inhibitor (AI) or tamoxifen (TAM), with or without CDK4/6 inhibitors, has become a preferred adjuvant endocrine therapy for intermediate to high-risk premenopausal hormone receptor-positive (HR+) patients with HR+ breast cancer. AI is effective in premenopausal women only when ovarian estrogen production is suppressed, which can be achieved with GnRH agonists (GnRHa). The 3-month GnRHa formulation is commonly preferred in the real world due to its convenience and reduced injection frequency; however, its effectiveness compared with the 1-month formulation remains a concern.

Among premenopausal patients receiving GnRHa combined with AI or TAM, approximately 8% experience incomplete ovarian function suppression (iOFS, E2 ≥30 pg/mL). Persistent iOFS may reduce the efficacy of endocrine therapy and potentially increase the risk of disease recurrence. Current clinical guidelines recommend monitoring serum estradiol (E2) levels during GnRHa treatment and suggest potential management strategies, including switching GnRHa formulations from 3-month to 1-month or modifying endocrine therapy (e.g., AI to TAM). However, evidence supporting these strategies is largely derived from retrospective studies or small case series, and prospective data remain limited. This multicenter, prospective, randomized, phase II study is designed to evaluate whether switching from a 3-month to a 1-month GnRHa can reduce E2 levels to <30 pg/mL within 3 months in premenopausal HR+ young breast cancer patients with iOFS. This study will also assess the long-term efficacy and safety of this strategy.

Beskrivelse

Inclusion Criteria:

Step 1：iOFS detection phase

  1. Female, aged ≥18 and ≤45 years;
  2. Histologically confirmed hormone receptor-positive (HR+) (estrogen receptor [ER] and/or progesterone receptor [PR] ≥1%) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) early invasive breast cancer (stage I-III according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC], version 8)；
  3. Completed curative surgery, with prior (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy completed if applicable;
  4. Currently receiving adjuvant therapy with a 3-month GnRH agonist (GnRHa) plus aromatase inhibitor (AI) or tamoxifen (TAM), with or without CDK4/6 inhibitors (excluding abemaciclib due to its potential interference with estradiol monitoring), for ≥1 dose, and presenting with estradiol (E2) ≥30 pg/mL within 28 days prior to enrollment (measured by CLIA).
  5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0-1; adequate bone marrow, hepatic, renal, and cardiac function.

Step 2：Randomized treatment phase

  1. iOFS confirmed using the SEMS assay (E2 ≥30 pg/mL);
  2. Ongoing adjuvant therapy with a 3-month GnRHa plus AI or TAM, with or without CDK4/6 inhibitors.
  3. No evidence of disease progression.

Exclusion Criteria:

Step 1：iOFS detection phase

  1. Bilateral breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer, or distant metastasis;
  2. Use of GnRHa for ovarian function preservation;
  3. History of ovarian resection or ablation; planned pregnancy or breastfeeding;
  4. Concomitant use of hormonal agents other than estrogen, progesterone, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM), or selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERD);
  5. Severe uncontrolled comorbidities;
  6. Other malignancies within the past 5 years (except for curatively treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal cell carcinoma);
  7. Failure to comply with follow-up or psychiatric disorders.

Step 2：Randomized treatment phase

a)Prior conversion from a 3-month GnRHa to a 1-month GnRHa.
