About this trial
This study is a prospective observational cohort study aimed at developing a clinical model based on dynamic changes in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) to predict ovarian reserve in perimenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
The study will enroll approximately 300 women aged 45-55 years with perimenopausal status confirmed by menstrual history and hormone levels (FSH 10-40 IU/L, E2 \>20 pg/mL). Participants will be stratified by treatment regimen: (A) chemotherapy plus endocrine therapy, (B) chemotherapy plus targeted therapy plus endocrine therapy, and (C) endocrine therapy alone.
Blood samples will be collected at seven time points to measure AMH, FSH, E2, and LH. Menstrual patterns and menopausal symptoms will be recorded prospectively. The primary outcome is the association between dynamic AMH changes and the occurrence of menopause. A predictive model will be constructed using LASSO regression and Cox proportional hazards models, with internal validation by bootstrap resampling.
The goal is to develop a clinically applicable tool to guide endocrine therapy decisions-including the duration of ovarian function suppression (OFS), choice between tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors (AIs), and selection of CDK4/6 inhibitors-as well as to provide individualized fertility preservation counseling for perimenopausal breast cancer patients.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Female, aged 45-55 years
Histologically confirmed hormone receptor-positive breast cancer
Perimenopausal status defined as: (a) last menstrual period within 3 months prior to enrollment; and (b) FSH 10-40 IU/L and E2 >20 pg/mL
Scheduled to receive adjuvant chemotherapy and/or endocrine therapy

Trial population
This study will enroll approximately 300 perimenopausal women aged 45-55 years with histologically confirmed hormone receptor-positive breast cancer treated at Liaoning Cancer Hospital. Participants will be stratified into three groups based on treatment regimen: chemotherapy plus endocrine therapy (Group A), chemotherapy plus targeted therapy plus endocrine therapy (Group B), and endocrine therapy alone (Group C). All participants must meet perimenopausal status criteria defined by menstrual history and hormone levels (FSH 10-40 IU/L, E2 \>20 pg/mL) at enrollment.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Association Between Dynamic AMH Changes and Occurrence of Menopause
The primary outcome is the association between serial changes in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels measured at seven time points and the occurrence of menopause, defined as 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea in the absence of other causes.
Secondary outcomes
Resumption of Menstrual Bleeding After Treatment
Proportion of participants who resume menstrual bleeding following chemotherapy or endocrine therapy.
Changes in FSH, E2, and LH Levels
Serial changes in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels over time.
Menopausal Symptom Score
Changes in menopausal symptom severity assessed using a validated menopausal symptom rating scale.
