The ELEGANT Study is testing an investigational medication to see if it could help people with early-stage breast cancer that could recur. The investigational medication will be compared with the hormone therapy you usually take for your condition.
The ELEGANT Study could last up to 8 years, including:
- 4-week screening period: you will have tests at your nearest study centre to see if you can take part.
- 5-year study treatment period: if eligible, you will take the investigational medication or hormone therapy and visit the study centre for further tests.
- Safety follow-up: 4 weeks after your last dose of study treatment, you will return to the study centre for final tests.
- Long-term follow-up: the study team will contact you every year for about 5 years to check on your health.
You will have a 50% (1 in 2) chance of receiving the investigational medication and a 50% chance of continuing with the hormone therapy you are currently taking. You cannot choose but you will know what you are receiving.
The investigational medication and hormone therapy come in tablet/pill form, which you will be asked to take every day for 5 years.
During the study treatment period, you will visit the study centre for tests approximately 12 times over 5 years.
