New hope for breast cancer patients: drug may tame Treatment-Linked hot flashes
NCT ID NCT05587296
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called elinzanetant to see if it can reduce hot flashes in women with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer who are on hormone-blocking therapy. About 474 women will take either the drug or a placebo for 12 weeks, then all will receive the drug for up to a year. The goal is to improve quality of life by easing these common, bothersome symptoms.

Exclusion Criteria: * Initial diagnosis of metastatic hormone-receptor positive breast cancer (stage IV) or recurrence under adjuvant endocrine therapy of hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. * Current or history (except complete remission for 5 years or more prior to signing informed consent) of any malignancy, except for hormone-receptor positive breast cancer (Stage 0-III), basal and squamous cell skin tumors. * Surgery or non-surgical (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy) treatment for breast cancer within the last 3 months prior to signing informed consent (except use of tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, GnRH analogues). * Any clinically significant prior or ongoing history of arrhythmias, heart block and QT prolongation either determined through clinical history or on electrocardiogram (ECG) evaluation. * Any active ongoing condition that could cause difficulty in interpreting VMS such as: infection that could cause pyrexia, pheochromocytoma, carcinoid syndrome. * Any unexplained vaginal bleeding. * Mammogram with clinically relevant malignant or suspicious findings that will require surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy as per local guidelines (mammogram should not be older than 12 months prior to signing informed consent). If a mammogram is not possible after partial mastectomy an ultrasound could be performed instead. * Disordered proliferative endometrium, endometrial hyperplasia, polyp, or endometrial cancer diagnosed based on endometrial biopsy during screening. * Current arterial or venous vascular event (e.g., Myocardial infarction (MI), Transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), i.e., within the last 6 months prior to signing informed consent.
