Summary

"This trial is testing a new medication called fezolinetant to see if it can help reduce hot flashes in women who are on hormone therapy for breast cancer. Women who have moderate to severe hot

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with breast cancer stages 0-3+, undergoing hormone therapy and experiencing at least 7 moderate to severe hot flashes daily. They must not be breastfeeding, expect to live at least another year, and agree to use contraception. Women cannot join if they are of childbearing potential or plan changes in their cancer treatment.
What is being tested?
The study tests Fezolinetant's effectiveness against hot flashes compared to a placebo in women receiving hormone therapy for breast cancer. Participants will randomly receive either Fezolinetant or a placebo, without knowing which one, and take it daily for a year while tracking their symptoms.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Fezolinetant aren't specified here but may include reactions similar to other menopause treatments like headaches, nausea, or dizziness. Placebo has no active ingredients but can cause perceived side effects due to the 'placebo effect.'
