First seen Mar 03, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tested fezolinetant, a drug that blocks a brain receptor involved in temperature control, to see if it could reduce hot flashes and night sweats in women with breast cancer taking hormone-lowering medications. The trial planned to enroll many participants but was stopped early and only included 9 women. Results are limited, but the drug aims to improve quality of life by easing these common, bothersome symptoms.
