Brief Title: Evaluation of Blood/Imaging Based Biomarkers, Aromatase Inhibitor Induced Musculoskeletal Syndrome
Official Title: Pilot Trial to Evaluate Blood and Imaging Based Biomarkers for Aromatase Inhibitor Induced Musculoskeletal Syndrome
Study ID: NCT03665077
Brief Summary: This is a pilot trial to evaluate for blood and imaging biomarkers in patients with breast cancer scheduled to start adjuvant hormonal therapy.
Detailed Description: This is a prospective single arm study enrolling patients (n = 25) with breast cancer scheduled to start adjuvant hormonal therapy. Patients would have completed all their primary treatments (surgery± radiation therapy) and are scheduled to start their adjuvant hormonal therapy. They get baseline blood drawn for oxylipins and sheer wave elastrography (SWE) ultrasound of their hands including wrists. They start adjuvant anastrozole and have blood drawn at 3mths and 6mths for measurement of oxylipins. SWE ultrasound is repeated at 6mths. This is a pilot trial to evaluate for blood and imaging biomarkers. Once pilot data is analyzed, goal is to apply for funding for a larger trial to further evaluate and validate these biomarkers
