Inclusion Criteria

  • Premenopausal females aged between 25 and 45 years
  • Regular menses defined as date of onset of last menstrual period +/- 3 days of expected
  • Known BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation or moderate to high risk of developing BC defined as >17% lifetime risk from age 20 or >3% risk between 40-50 years
  • Ovulatory menstrual cycles defined as serum progesterone =15nmol 7 days prior to expected onset of menses.
  • eGFR = 40mls/min/1.73m2 in view of requirement for gadolinium contrast MRI scans
  • Willing and able to provide informed consent to undergo all trial procedures.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range: 0
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 30
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 0

Exclusion Criteria

  • Personal history of breast, uterine, cervical or ovarian cancer
  • Breast feeding within the last 3 months
  • Pregnant or planning for pregnancy in the next 6 months. Pregnancy must be excluded with serum ßhCG <5nmol during screening.
  • Known hypersensitivity to radiological contrast media or to ulipristal acetate or any of its excipients (microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol, croscarmellose sodium, talc, magnesium stearate)
  • Current treatment with:
  • Anti-estrogens (e.g. tamoxifen or raloxifene), GnRH analogue therapy (e.g. goserelin or buserelin) or hormonal contraceptives including androgens such as cyproterone acetate. Such treatments must have been stopped for at least 6 months and regular menstrual cycles resumed.
  • Corticosteroids at any dose, these must have been stopped for at least 1 month with low likelihood that retreatment will be required
  • Antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy – must have been stopped for at least 7 days and clotting be at satisfactory levels (see below)
  • moderate or potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 (for list see appendix)
  • potent inducers of CYP3A4 (for full list see appendix 1)
  • APTT and PT outside the normal institutional ranges. Hb <100g/l and platelet count <150x109/l. Serum creatinine, bilirubin, ALT, ALP or LDH >1,5xULN.
  • Contraindications to MRI, such as intracranial aneurysm clips, implanted electrical devices and intra-ocular metallic foreign bodies.
  • Co-morbidity that would put the patient at increased risk such as recognised bleeding diathesis, moderate to severe hepatic impairment, moderate or severe renal impairment (eGFR <40 ml/min/1.73m2), severe asthma not adequately controlled with corticosteroids (note steroid usage precludes trial entry)
  • Prior breast enhancement/augmentation surgery
  • Genital bleeding of unknown aetiology
