Study of Amcenestrant (SAR439859) Versus Tamoxifen for Patients With Hormone Receptor-positive (HR+) Early Breast Cancer, Who Have Discontinued Adjuvant Aromatase Inhibitor Therapy Due to Treatment-related Toxicity

Plain-language summary
This was a phase III, randomized, double blind, multicenter, 2-arm study evaluating the efficacy and safety of amcenestrant compared with tamoxifen in participants with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer who discontinued adjuvant aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy due to treatment related toxicity. The primary objective was to demonstrate the superiority of amcenestrant versus tamoxifen on invasive breast cancer-free survival.
The treatment duration per participant was to be 5 years, followed with a subsequent 5-years follow-up period. For the treatment period, visits were scheduled at the start of treatment, then at 4 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment start, and then every 12 weeks for the first 2 years and every 24 weeks for year 3 to 5. For the follow-up period, visits were scheduled 30 days after last treatment and then every 12 months. Three periods were planned:
* A screening period of up to 28 days,
* A treatment period of up to 5 years,
* A follow-up period of up to 5 years.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult participants with histologically confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the breast with documentation of hormone receptor-positive status, irrespective of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status NOTE: Participants with HER2-positive breast cancer were eligible only if they had completed their adjuvant anti-HER2 treatment and chemotherapy.
* With Stage IIB or Stage III (invasive breast cancer) who had undergone breast surgery and adjuvant radiation (if indicated) for the current malignancy.
* Who had received prior aromatase inhibitors (AIs) (letrozole, anastrozole or exemestane or any sequence thereof) per the following:
Adjuvant AI therapy was discontinued due to AI treatment-related toxicity; Minimum of 6 months duration and maximum of 30 months duration (from initiation of first AI if there was a switch between AIs) of AI therapy was required.
* Absence of locoregional and/or advanced/metastatic disease
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0-1
* Capable of giving signed informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Medical history or ongoing gastrointestinal disorders potentially affecting the absorption of amcenestrant and/or tamoxifen. Participants unable to swallow normally or unable to take tablets and capsules. Predictable poor compliance to oral treatment. Active inflammatory bowel disease or chronic diarrhea, active hepatitis A/B/C, hepatic cirrhosis, short bowel syndrome, or any upper gastro…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
