This trial is for adult men with untreated stage I–III hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer before surgery. Inflammatory breast cancer is excluded.

The idea: endocrine treatment reduces estrogen production or blocks its effects. A three-week randomized window compares tamoxifen, anastrozole, or anastrozole plus degarelix. The four-month phase tests tamoxifen or anastrozole plus degarelix; either regimen may include abemaciclib, a cell-cycle inhibitor. A biopsy after the window and surgery assess tumor changes.

This phase 2 study plans 60 patients. Jose Pablo Leone leads at Dana-Farber in Boston; nine US sites are recruiting.
