DCIS: RECAST Trial Ductal Carcinoma In Situ: Re-Evaluating Conditions for Active Surveillance Suitability as Treatment
Purpose
The goal of this trial is to see if active surveillance monitoring and hormonal therapy in patients diagnosed with ductal cell carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early stage of breast cancer, can be an effective management of the disease. Participants will be asked to receive control hormonal therapy or an investigational hormonal therapy treatment. Participants will be asked to return for evaluation with MRI at three months and six months. Depending on the evaluation participants will have the option to continue on the treatment. If the evaluation suggests surgery is recommended, the participant will discontinue the study treatment and will undergo surgery. In addition to the treatment and MRI evaluation, participants will be asked to provide blood sample to understand their immune status, provide saliva sample for genetic testing, provide the study with a portion of the tissue or slides generated from tissue removed during surgery performed as part of their standard of care.

Arm Groups
| Arm | Description | Assigned Intervention |
|---|---|---|
|
Active Comparator chemoprevention therapy per investigator choice |
a. For premenopausal women: 20 mg or 5 mg tamoxifen orally b. for postmenopausal women: standard oral doses of AI of choice: exemestane 25 mg daily, letrozole 2.5 mg daily, or anastrozole 1 mg daily; or reduced exemestane dosing: 25 mg 3 times per week orally i. For postmenopausal women who are not tolerating an AI, low dose (5 mg) or standard dose (20 mg) of tamoxifen There is active follow up with MRI at baseline, 3 months, 6 months after treatment initiation, and every 6 months alternating MRI and mammogram for up to 5 years. Participants may continue treatment for up to 5 years. |

|
Experimental Testosterone + Anastrazole (T+Ai) |
White solid pellet for subcutaneous insertion consisting of 100mg Testosterone and 4mg Anastrazole, an aromatase inhibitor. A cylindrical pellet (4.5mm diameter, 6.35mm diameter) is inserted subcutaneously in the upper outer gluteal region or iliac fossa every 3 months, with treatment up to 36 months. There is active follow up with MRI at baseline, 3 months, 6 months after treatment initiation, and every 6 months alternating MRI and mammogram for up to 5 years. Participants are followed for an additional 5 years. |

|
Experimental Elacestrant |
Selective estrogen receptor degrader, Standard dose: 400mg PO with food once daily for treatment up to 36 months. Dose reduction of Elacestrant by up to 2 dose levels permitted depending on toxicity; 400 mg to 300 mg then 300 mg to 200 mg Participants requiring more than 2 dose reductions must discontinue treatment For patients on this arm there is active follow up with MRI at baseline, 3 months, 6 months after treatment initiation, and every 6 months alternating MRI and mammogram for up to 5 years. Participants are followed by for an additional 5 years. |
|
|
Experimental Endoxifen |
(Z)-endoxifen is the most active metabolite of the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), tamoxifen. Standard dose: 10mg PO delayed release capsule of z-endoxifen once daily for treatment up to 36 months. same time with a glass of water either 1 hour before a meal or 2 hours after a meal and should not take with alcohol. For patients on this arm there is active follow up with MRI at baseline, 3 months, 6 months after treatment initiation, and every 6 months alternating MRI and mammogram for up to 5 years. Participants are followed for an additional 5 years. |

Detailed Description
The goal of this trial is to see if active surveillance monitoring and hormonal therapy in patients diagnosed with Ductal cell Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS), an early stage of breast cancer, can be an effective management of the disease. The current management of most patients with DCIS involves surgical intervention with or without radiation, similar to more aggressive breast cancers. These treatments can come with some significant health effects.The main question this study aims to answer is: to determine whether novel endocrine therapy increases the fraction of patients who will be suitable for long-term active surveillance. Participants will be asked to take one of three investigational study medication (z-Elacestrant, Testosterone + Anastrazole, or Endoxifen) or receive control hormonal therapy (Tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor), depending on the treatment to which they have been randomized. Participants will be asked to return for evaluation with MRI at three months and six months. Depending on the evaluation, participants will have the option to continue on the treatment, with follow up evaluations of Mammogram and MRI at 6 month intervals. If the evaluation suggests surgery is recommended, the participant will discontinue the study treatment and will undergo surgery. In addition to the treatment and MRI evaluation, participants will be asked to: - Provide blood sample to understand their immune status - Provide saliva sample for genetic testing - Provide the study with a portion of the tissue or slides generated from tissue removed during surgery performed as part of their standard of care. Participants will be followed annually for 10 years.
