E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |

Donne di età inferiore ai 40 anni, con carcinoma mammario operabile, candidate a chemioterapia adiuvante, che riceveranno LH-RH analogo in concomitanza alla chemioterapia a scopo di gonadoprotezione. |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate AMH levels changes in response to chemotherapy plus GnRHa in order to assess the role of AMH as surrogate marker of the preservation of ovarian reserve exerted by GnRHa |
Studiare la variazione di AMH in corso di chemioterapia + LH-RH analogo per valutare il ruolo di AMH quale marcatore dell’effetto gonadoprotettivo dell’LH-RH analogo. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
a) to correlate AMH behaviour with recovery of menstrual cycle (in the ER negative cohort); b) to compare AMH levels obtained at the end of chemotherapy and at 12 months after the end of chemotherapy in the two cohorts of ER positive and ER negative patients c) the proportion of patients with AMH levels >0.2 ng/mL at the 12-month time point.
|
a) Correlare il comportamento di AMH con il recupero del ciclo mestruale (nella coorte ER-ve) b) Confrontare i livelli di AMH alla fine della chemioterapia e dopo 12 mesi dalla fine della chemioterapia nelle 2 coorti di pazienti ER+ve ed ER-ve. c) Valutare dopo 12 mesi la percentuale di pazienti con livelli di AMH > 0.2 ng/mL

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The principal endpoint is the proportion of breast cancer women < 40 yrs with a percent change or Δ ≤ 50% of AMH levels at 12 months after chemotherapy as compared with basal levels. |
L’endpoint dello studio è rappresentato dalla proporzione di pazienti che hanno una riduzione di AMH a 12 mesi dal termine della chemioterapia ≤ 50% rispetto al valore basale. |

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
a) to correlate AMH behaviour with recovery of menstrual cycle (in the ER negative cohort); b) to compare AMH levels obtained at the end of chemotherapy and at 12 months after the end of chemotherapy in the two cohorts of ER positive and ER negative patients c) the proportion of patients with AMH levels >0.2 ng/mL at the 12-month time point; d) In centres with reproductive gynaecologic facilities, the antral follicle count (AFC) ,which is considered as a reliable marker of ovarian reserve will be determined at baseline and at the 12-month time point in the ER negative cohort
|
a) Correlare il comportamento di AMH con il recupero del ciclo mestruale (nella coorte ER-ve) b) Confrontare i livelli di AMH alla fine della chemioterapia e dopo 12 mesi dalla fine della chemioterapia nelle 2 coorti di pazienti ER+ve ed ER-ve. c) Valutare dopo 12 mesi la percentuale di pazienti con livelli di AMH > 0.2 ng/mL d) Nei centri con unità di ginecologia riproduttiva, nella coorte ER-, verrà determinato il numero di follicoli antrali (AFC) a 12 mesi rispetto al basale.
