Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for people with metastatic breast cancer to find the best dose of the medication tamoxifen. Participation involves undergoing a special imaging test to measure how the cancer responds to the treatment.

About This Trial
Despite broad advancements in endocrine therapy for ERα+ breast cancer, resistance ultimately develops. A common driver of resistance are known ESR1 mutations that lead to constitutively active receptor signaling and transcriptional regulation that is always "turned on" despite the absence of estrogen. Patients with ESR1 mutations are expected to have decreased binding affinity for tamoxifen and t…
