NCT ID NCT06184750

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 35 times

Summary

This study tests whether a low dose of tamoxifen can safely reduce breast density—a key risk factor for breast cancer—in premenopausal women at higher-than-average risk. About 200 women will receive a response-guided dose, with adjustments based on how their breast density changes on mammograms. The goal is to find a dose that effectively lowers risk while minimizing side effects.
