A Phase II Study of High Dose Estradiol in Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Estradiol treatment for
advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor negative and Her2/neu negative. The study
will also use tumor tissue from your original diagnosis or from a biopsy you may have had
for your cancer to look at hormone receptors in the lab. The tissue left over from your
previous surgery or a previous biopsy will be used for research tests to check whether a
different estrogen receptor (estrogen receptor beta) is seen in the tumor and if that makes
estrogen work better.

Her2 negative
- Patients must have measurable disease.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-1.

regimens administered for treatment of their metastatic breast cancer.
- Age >18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

weeks prior to entering the study

infarction, deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
- History of or active hepatic adenoma.
