Giredestrant + Hormone Therapy

for Early-Stage Breast Cancer

This trial is testing giredestrant, a medication given after initial treatment to prevent breast cancer from returning. It focuses on patients with a specific type of early-stage breast cancer that is hormone-driven and at higher risk of recurrence. Giredestrant works by blocking the hormone estrogen from helping cancer cells grow. Giredestrant has shown promise in previous studies.

Omitting Radiation Therapy

for Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on low risk breast cancer receiving usual care that includes regional radiation therapy, with receiving no regional radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if not giving this type of radiation treatment works as well at preventing breast cancer from coming back.

Support Program

for Breast Cancer

This phase III trial compares an additional support program (text message reminders and/or telephone-based counseling) with usual care in making sure breast cancer patients take their endocrine therapy medication as prescribed (medication adherence). Medication adherence is how well patients take the medication as prescribed by their doctors, and good medical adherence is when patients take medications correctly. Poor medication adherence has been shown to be a serious barrier to effective treatment for hormone receptor positive breast cancer patients. Adding text message reminders and/or telephone-based counseling to usual care may increase the number of days that patients take their endocrine therapy medication as prescribed.
