Monthly vs. quarterly shots: can a simple switch boost ovarian suppression in young breast cancer?

NCT ID NCT07610733

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial will enroll 100 young women (ages 18-45) with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who are already on a 3-month GnRH injection for ovarian suppression. Half will switch to a monthly injection, while the other half stays on the 3-month schedule. The study aims to see if the switch leads to better control of estrogen levels at 3 months, which is important for managing the disease.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

GnRH agonists (goserelin or leuprolide) plus endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor/tamoxifen ± CDK4/6 inhibitor)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that switching to a monthly GnRH injection provides better ovarian suppression, potentially improving treatment outcomes for young breast cancer patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small Phase 2 study (100 participants) and has not yet started recruiting. The primary endpoint is a hormone level, not a direct measure of cancer recurrence or survival, so benefits may not translate to better long-term outcomes.
