Evaluating the Addition of Adjuvant Chemotherapy to Ovarian Function Suppression Plus Endocrine Therapy in Premenopausal Patients With pN0-1, ER-Positive/HER2-Negative Breast Cancer and an Oncotype Recurrence Score Less Than or Equal to 25

Plain-language summary
This Phase III Trial will determine whether adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) added to ovarian function suppression (OFS) plus endocrine therapy (ET) is superior to OFS plus ET in improving invasive breast cancer-free survival (IBCFS) among premenopausal, early- stage breast cancer (EBC) patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative tumors and 21-gene recurrence score (RS) between 16-25 (for pN0 patients) and 0-25 (for pN1 patients).

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* A patient cannot be considered eligible for this study unless ALL of the following conditions are met.
* The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to pre-entry and, for patients treated in the U.S., authorization permitting release of personal health information.
* Female patients must be greater than or equal to 18 years of age.
* Patients must be premenopausal (evidence of functioning ovaries) at the time of pre-entry. For study purposes, premenopausal is defined as:
* Age 50 years or under with spontaneous menses within 12 months; or
* Age greater than 50-60 years with spontaneous menses within 12 months plus follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol levels in the premenopausal range; or
* Patients with amenorrhea due to IUD or prior uterine ablation must have FSH and estradiol levels in the premenopausal range; or
* Patients with prior hysterectomy must have FSH and estradiol levels in the premenopausal range.
* The patient must have an ECOG performance status of less than or equal to 2 (or Karnofsky greater than or equal to 60%).
* Patients may have ipsilateral or contralateral synchronous breast cancer if the highest stage tumor meets entry criteria, and the other sites of disease would not require chemotherapy or HER2-directed therapy.
* Patients may have multicentric or multifocal breast cancer if the highest stage tumor meets entry criteria, and the other si…
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.
