About this trial
The goal of this trial is to see if active surveillance monitoring and hormonal therapy in patients diagnosed with ductal cell carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early stage of breast cancer, can be an effective management of the disease.
Participants will be asked to receive control hormonal therapy or an investigational hormonal therapy treatment. Participants will be asked to return for evaluation with MRI at three months and six months. Depending on the evaluation participants will have the option to continue on the treatment. If the evaluation suggests surgery is recommended, the participant will discontinue the study treatment and will undergo surgery. In addition to the treatment and MRI evaluation, participants will be asked to provide blood sample to understand their immune status, provide saliva sample for genetic testing, provide the study with a portion of the tissue or slides generated from tissue removed during surgery performed as part of their standard of care.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients with a diagnosis of hormone positive DCIS who have undergone surgery with positive margins that have not been re-excised are candidates to enroll in the trial.

Treatments tested in this trial
Tamoxifen
DrugFor premenopausal women: 20 mg tamoxifen orally daily (standard dose) or 10 mg every other day (low dose). For postmenopausal women who are not tolerating an AI, investigators can change them to the low dose (10 mg every other day) or standard dose (20 mg) of tamoxifen.
Exemestane
DrugFor postmenopausal women: standard oral doses of AI of choice: exemestane 25 mg daily, or reduced exemestane dosing: 25 mg 3 times per week orally
Letrozole
DrugFor postmenopausal women: standard oral doses of AI of choice: letrozole 2.5 mg daily.
Anastrazole
DrugFor postmenopausal women: standard oral doses of AI of choice: anastrozole 1 mg daily.
Testosterone + Anastrazole
DrugInvestigational drug. Both pre- and post- menopausal subjects. 100mg testosterone in combination with 4mg anastrazole administered subcutaneously every 3 months for up to 3 years.
Elacestrant
DrugInvestigational drug. Both pre- and post- menopausal subjects. Elacestrant 400mg PO with food once daily up to 36 months.
Z-endoxifen
DrugInvestigational drug. Both pre- and post- menopausal subjects. (z)-endoxifen 10mg delayed release capsule 1 hour before a meal or 2 hours after a meal once daily for up to 36 months.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Patients remaining on active surveillance at 7 months
Fraction of patients remaining on active surveillance at 7 months compared to control
Secondary outcomes
To determine whether novel endocrine therapy increases the fraction of patients who will be suitable for long-term active surveillance as measured by the fraction of patients deemed to be low-risk for invasive cancer at 6 months compared to control
Fraction of patients categorized as low risk by MRI after 6 months of treatment--Measured by cases demonstrating endocrine responsiveness (Determined based on lesion and background or lesion alone or lack of lesion and minimal background)
To determine whether novel endocrine therapy increases the fraction of patients who will be suitable for long-term active surveillance as measured by the fraction of patients deemed to be low-risk for invasive cancer at 3 months compared to control
Fraction of patients categorized as low risk by MRI after 3 months of treatment--Measured by cases demonstrating endocrine responsiveness (Determined based on lesion and background or lesion alone or lack of lesion and minimal background)
Associate rate of progression to Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) with risk categorization after 6 months of treatment at 3 years
Correlation of low-risk categorization at 6 months with subsequent rate of Invasive Ductal Cell Carcinoma progression at 3 years
To assess the QoL impact of novel endocrine therapy compared to tamoxifen or Aromatase inhibitor (Ai) at standard or low dose using PROMIS and the FACT-ES and FACT-GP5 composite score compared to control
Fraction of patients experiencing Minimum Important Difference in overall QOL measured by PROP-R statistics (PROMIS) and FACT-ES (functional assessment of cancer therapy- endocrine symptoms) and FACT-GP5, a quality of life (QoL) assessment)
Other outcomes
Assess Germ Line polygenic risk: assess correlation of detectable mutations with endocrine response and qualification for active surveillance at 7 months
evaluate influence of polygenic risk on endocrine response and suitability for Active Surveillance
To evaluate outcomes stratified by immune and molecular subtype based upon multiplex immuno histochemistry (IHC) clustering analysis, and RPS expression array profiling
Response stratified by multiplex immune staining for Human Epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) isoforms and Response Predictive Subtypes (RPS)
