Summary

This trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of the drug endoxifen in individuals with hormone receptor positive solid tumors. Eligible participants must be 18 years or older and have had at least one prior chemotherapy and hormonal regimen for metastatic disease.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with hormone receptor positive solid tumors, including breast and gynecologic cancers, that haven't improved with standard treatments. Participants must have tried at least one chemotherapy and hormonal regimen if they have breast cancer. They should not be on certain medications or have had recent major surgery, and their organ function needs to meet specific criteria.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of a drug called Z-Endoxifen in tablet form for patients whose tumors are still growing despite previous treatments. The study involves taking the medication daily in cycles, monitoring side effects through regular clinic visits, blood tests, imaging studies, and an eye exam.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of Z-Endoxifen aren't listed here, similar drugs can cause hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, joint pain or muscle cramps. There may also be risks to liver function or potential blood clots due to its estrogen-blocking action.
