Longer hormone therapy for breast cancer with lymph node spread
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether taking hormone-blocking pills for longer than 5 years can help lower the risk of breast cancer returning. It is for people who had lymph node involvement and have already completed their initial 5-year treatment without the cancer coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a type of breast cancer that grows in response to hormones (called estrogen receptor positive, or ER+).
- Your cancer had spread to at least one lymph node under your arm when you were first diagnosed.
- You have already finished about 5 years of hormone-blocking pills (like tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor).
- You have no signs that your cancer has come back or spread after those 5 years.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether women with very low-risk, hormone-receptor positive breast cancer can safely take hormone therapy for a shorter time. It may help reduce side effects if shorter treatment works as well as the longer standard plan.
This trial studies the safety of continuing endocrine therapy with ovarian suppression (for women) after you finish the earlier OVELIA study. It may help doctors confirm that the treatment remains safe for longer-term use.
This trial is testing how well a short course of hormone-blocking pills (endocrine therapy) works before surgery in women with early-stage hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer. The goal is to understand what makes some cancers resistant to these treatments.
This trial looks at factors that may predict whether hormone receptor–positive breast cancer will come back after you’ve already completed 5 years of hormone (endocrine) therapy. It may help identify who benefits most from longer treatment and follow-up.
This trial tests a new oral drug (HRS-8080) against standard hormone therapy for women with intermediate- or high-risk early breast cancer who have already completed 2 to 5 years of hormone treatment. It aims to see if the new drug can reduce the risk of cancer coming back.
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of immune-based treatments along with hormone (endocrine) therapy to slow or shrink advanced, hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. You may be a candidate if your cancer has progressed after standard hormone-blocking medicines and you can start treatment with CDK4/6 medicine plus an aromatase inhibitor.
