Evaluating the Use of a Medication 'Switch' vs Guideline-directed Interventions for Relieving Side Effects of Aromatase Inhibitors Among Breast Cancer Patients (NCT07071038)
The 'SWIVEL' Study (Switch Vs Effects Relief): Effectiveness of a Medication 'Switch' vs Guideline-Directed Interventions for Relieving Side Effects of Aromatase Inhibitors Among Breast Cancer Patients
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Researchers have learned that about 50% of women do not finish the standard 5-year breast cancer treatment with an aromatase inhibitor. An aromatase inhibitor is hormone therapy that lowers the chance of breast cancer coming back (recurring) after surgery by blocking an enzyme in fat tissue called aromatase; aromatase changes other hormones in the body to estrogen. Women who do not complete the standard 5-year treatment are at higher risk of their cancer coming back. The goal of this research is to prevent breast cancer from coming back after surgery by helping women to stay on treatment with aromatase inhibitors. Researchers believe the best path to help women to stay on treatment is to create a better way to manage (control) side effects.
