Summary

The proposed research study evaluates the potential of an oral FDA-approved medication, suvorexant, as compared with a placebo control to improve symptoms of sleep disturbance and insomnia in breast cancer survivors currently on hormonal based therapies. Eligible participants will randomly be selected to receive either the suvorexant or a placebo control for a duration of 4 Weeks. Participation in the study will include a screening process for eligibility including information on medical history and surveys regarding symptoms at the start of the study and additionally at 2 and 4 weeks. Potential benefits include improved sleep for individuals randomized to the study medication and potential study risks include loss of confidentiality of health information and a risk of sedation and complex sleep behaviors associated with the medication, suvorexant.

Phase III Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial Evaluating the Use of Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy +/- One Year of EVEROLIMUS in Patients with High-Risk, Hormone Receptor-Positive AND HER2/neu Negative Breast Cancer

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Breast
Summary

This study is for women or men with hormone responsive breast cancer that has already been removed by surgery and have completed any required chemotherapy or radiation. The purpose of this study is to see whether treatment with everolimus plus hormone treatment after chemotherapy will increase the time without cancer returning. The current standard treatment after chemotherapy is hormone treatment alone. Everolimus is a drug currently approved for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic kidney cancer. It is considered investigational for breast cancer patients. In this study subjects will get hormone treatment with either everolimus or with placebo (a pill with no medication). The combination of hormone-treatment and everolimus is experimental in patients with breast cancer.
It is expected that subjects will be enrolled in this study for approximately 54 weeks or until side effects become too great, or until cancer returns. After subjects are finished with study treatment, they will return to the clinic every six months for the first 2 years and then yearly for the next 10 years.
