NCT ID NCT06982313
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows up on women who took a low dose of tamoxifen (5 mg daily) for three years to see if it continues to prevent breast cancer over the long term. The original trial found a 42% reduction in breast cancer events. Researchers will also combine data from three similar studies to get stronger evidence. The goal is to confirm that low-dose tamoxifen is a safe and effective prevention option for women with high-risk breast lesions.
