New hope for Hard-to-Treat hormone cancers: experimental drug shows promise

NCT ID NCT01273168

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tested an experimental drug called Z-Endoxifen in 40 adults with hormone receptor-positive cancers (like breast, ovarian, or desmoid tumors) that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking estrogen from fueling cancer growth, similar to tamoxifen but without needing the liver to activate it. The main goal was to check safety and find the right dose, while also seeing if it could slow tumor growth.
