BRE-06: Study to Increase Tolerance to Aromatase Inhibitors for Patients With Early-Stage Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer Who Developed Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

21 de agosto de 2026 atualizado por: Oana Danciu, University of Illinois at Chicago
This study is open to women who have early-stage breast cancer and are on aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy, and who have hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). HSDD is a persistent lack of physical desire for sex and a lack of sexual activity, or even sexual thoughts or fantasies, that causes you distress. The researchers want to determine if sexual functioning, as measured by responses on a sexual functioning questionnaire, is improved by adding Bupropion Extended Release (XL) to the AI treatment regimen. Bupropion XL is an FDA-approved medication for the treatment of major depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and nicotine dependence. It has been studied in HSDD in pre- and post-menopausal healthy women, and has been demonstrated to be effective, but it has not been thoroughly studied in women with early-stage breast cancer on AI therapy.

Descrição detalhada

Patients diagnosed with HSDD (defined as Female Sexual Function Index, or FSFI, score ≤ 26) will discontinue their current AI therapy and will be randomized to treatment with a different AI (non-steroidal AI to steroidal AI, or vice versa) plus bupropion 150 mg orally twice a day versus single-agent AI. All patients diagnosed with HSDD will be referred to counseling services and pelvic floor therapy. In addition, patients will be offered access to the Rosy App. FSFI will be administered at months 1, 3, 6, and during the year 3 visit.

Comparador Ativo: Single Agent Aromatase Inhibitor and Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) Agonist

Participants will receive aromatase inhibitor as part of standard of care for early stage breast cancer. The duration of AI therapy will be at the discretion of the investigator.

Patients who are diagnosed with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder at baseline will discontinue their current aromatase inhibitor treatment and switch to a different aromatase inhibitor treatment (i.e., non-steroidal AI to steroidal AI, or vice versa).

Those who are pre-menopausal will also be treated with ovarian suppression therapy (in the form of a GnRH agonist) per standard of care. They will be treated by subcutaneous injection every 28 days and the type, duration, and dose of drug will be per the treating physician's discretion.

Those who have ongoing Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder symptoms have the option to crossover to the bupropion arm.

Medida de resultado
Descrição da medida
Prazo
Prevalence and response to treatment of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in patients with early stage breast cancer across different racial groups
Prazo: Until 3 years post-treatment start
Prevalence of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder among different racial groups will be assessed by the number of of early breast cancer patients with HSDD who are African-American, Caucasian, and Hispanic while the response to treatment across racial groups will be calculated by the overall decrease in FSFI score for the groups.
