Menopause clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Menopause happens when a person no longer has menstrual periods. UCSF is running trials to see if bazedoxifene and conjugated estrogens can help with hot flashes and lower breast cancer risk. These studies are open for new participants.
Bazedoxifene Plus Conjugated Estrogens
open to eligible females ages 45-64
Women at risk for development of breast cancer and experiencing vasomotor menopausal symptoms (hot flashes) will be randomized to bazedoxifene (BZA) plus conjugated estrogens (CE) for 6 months versus a wait list control. Two risk factors for development of breast cancer will be studied pre-study and after 6 months: fibroglandular volume (FGV) on mammogram as assessed by Volpara software and proliferation by Ki-67 immunocytochemistry in benign breast tissue acquired by random periareolar fine needle aspiration (RPFNA). Change in biomarkers will be compared between groups.
