Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The investigators hypothesize that the TCF20 rs932376 locus controls endoxifen levels in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer patients on tamoxifen therapy and that the requirement of tamoxifen dose to achieve therapeutic levels of endoxifen varies according to the genotype status of the patient's at the TCF20 rs932376 locus.

Patients will receive escalating doses of tamoxifen according to their TCF20 rs932376 genotype status. Patients on 20mg tamoxifen daily for 8 weeks or longer will provide blood samples for analysis of tamoxifen and its metabolites. Patients assess with >30nM endoxifen concentrations will continue with 20mg tamoxifen dose. Patients who have endoxifen concentrations <30nM will receive dose increments of 10mg every 8 weeks until they achieve endoxifen threshold of >30nM or reach maximum dose level of 40mg/day.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Dose-determination

Drug: Tamoxifen
Patients taking 20mg tamoxifen will receive dose increments of 10mg every 8 weeks until endoxin threshold of >30nM or the maximum dose of 40mg/day is reached. The escalated dose will be taken for 1 year before reverting back to 20mg.

Experimental: Dose-confirmation

Drug: Tamoxifen
Patients will take tamoxifen at the ascribed genotype-determined dose as determined in the dose-determination phase.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Endoxifen blood concentration [8 weeks after each tamoxifen dose level at 20mg, 30mg and 40mg]

    To determine the optimal dose of tamoxifen required to achieve therapeutic endoxifen levels for each TCF20 rs932376 genotype group in the dose-determination phase
