Switching medication to relieve side effects from aromatase inhibitors
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether switching to a different aromatase inhibitor or using standard treatments works better for managing side effects in breast cancer survivors. It aims to help you stay on hormone therapy longer with fewer discomforts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with DCIS or early-stage invasive breast cancer (stage I–III).
- Your cancer is estrogen receptor (ER)-positive.
- You have not taken hormone therapy for cancer in the last 10 years.

This trial tests if adding a targeted drug (CDK4/6 inhibitor) to hormone therapy works better than hormone therapy alone for women with a certain type of breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). The study measures the activity of tumor cells (Ki-67) to help decide treatment.
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 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 tests whether switching between two targeted therapy combinations can help women with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer that has progressed after previous treatments. It aims to find a new effective option for people who have already tried one or two lines of therapy.
This trial tests if taking hormone therapy for 5 more years helps prevent breast cancer from coming back. It is for women who have already completed 5 years of tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor and had lymph node involvement at diagnosis.
This study tests whether a medication called bupropion can help women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who are taking aromatase inhibitors (drugs that block estrogen) but experiencing low sexual desire as a side effect. The goal is to see if this approach improves both tolerance to the cancer medication and quality of life.
