What This Study Did, in Plain Language

What Was Tested

This registered phase 2 trial tested Goserelin.

It had 1 arm (groups): MK-2206 (experimental).

The registry classes the interventions as drug.

Who Took Part

It was open to women only aged from 18 years with no upper age limit.

Healthy volunteers were not accepted; participants needed the condition being studied.

Examples of who could join: Patient is female and greater than or equal to 18 years of age on the day of signing informed. Patient must have performance status of 0 or 1 on the ECOG Performance Scale. Patient must have adequate organ function as indicated by the following laboratory values:. Post-menopausal female subjects should be defined prior to protocol enrollment by any of the following:. Subjects at least 55 years of age.

The full record lists 13 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria; among the exclusions: patients must be at least 4 weeks post major surgical procedure, and all surgical wounds must be fully healed; patient is currently participating or has participated in a study with an investigational compound or device within 30 days of study day 1; patient has a primary central nervous system tumor.

How the Study Was Run

It was run as a single-group and open-label study.

Nothing was hidden in this open-label Goserelin study: the participants and staff both knew the treatment.

Everyone received the same intervention, so there was no separate comparison group inside the trial.

It started in 2011-02 with completion listed for 2012-06.

Its stated primary purpose is treatment.

What Was Measured

It also tracked 2 secondary outcomes, for example Characterize the effect of MK-2206 in combination with exemestane +/- goserelin based on PI3K, AKT, and PTEN mutations.

What This Means in Plain Language

Put simply, this is a phase 2 trial of Goserelin in people.

It was withdrawn before enrolling anyone; no results are posted to the registry yet, so nothing here describes outcomes.
