Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study aims to validate and study the feasibility of serial assessments, including therapeutic drug monitoring of tamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen and Z-endoxifen by capillary blood sampling, combined with patient-reported symptom scores. This will provide preliminary data to allow us to develop a future multicentre randomised clinical trial of personalised dose monitoring and adjustment of adjuvant tamoxifen therapy to enhance the quality of life and breast cancer outcomes.

No. Of Subjects: 40 female subjects.
Measured components: Tamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen and Z-endoxifen
Study design: Blood samples for measurement of tamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen and Z-endoxifen will be drawn capillary in total at 4-time points, at inclusion (baseline), and after 1, 2, and 3 weeks for each participant; and venously in total at 2-time points, at inclusion (baseline), and after 3 weeks for each participant.
At each time, participants will be asked to leave 2 vials of capillary blood (50ul x2) using the rhelise™ kit and 2 samples of conventional venous blood for blood and plasma (5 ml x 2).
