Phase 2: testing Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate (HCQ) for Aromatase Inhibitor Associated Musculoskeletal Symptoms (AIMSS)

This study wants to measure the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine sulfate (a type of drug commonly used to treat joint pain caused by inflammation, swelling) in reducing joint pain associated with Aromatase Inhibitor Associated Musculoskeletal Syndrome (AIMSS) for patients with breast cancer.

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07825454 · Indiana University · enrollment listed as 35

What this phase means

Phase 2: researchers already know a roughly safe dose (from phase 1). This stage asks whether the treatment actually helps the condition, and watches side effects more closely.

Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.

Phase 2: testing Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Background: The NCI Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy that involves taking white blood cells from patients' tumors, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then giving the cells back to the patient. These cells are called Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes, or TIL and we have given this type of treatment to over 200 patients with melanoma.
