- Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well giving fluocinonide cream works in treating symptoms of vaginal dryness and painful sexual intercourse in patients with breast cancer undergoing hormone therapy. Fluocinonide cream may prevent or lessen vaginal dryness and painful sexual intercourse in patients undergoing hormone therapy.
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the decrease in symptoms of vaginal dryness and dyspareunia with the use of fluocinonide 0.05% cream in breast cancer subjects and subjects at increased risk for breast cancer on endocrine therapy. Estimates of decrease will be obtained utilizing patient survey instruments.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the decrease in symptoms of vaginal itching and the total vaginal index score with the use of fluocinonide 0.05% cream in breast cancer subjects and subjects at increased risk for breast cancer on endocrine therapy. Estimates of decrease will be obtained utilizing patient survey instruments.
II. To explore toxicities reported by subjects using fluocinonide 0.05% cream via vaginal application.
III. To explore correlation between subject reported compliance, as well as compliance via measurement of the amount of fluocinonide 0.05% cream used, and response rates with the use of fluocinonide 0.05% cream.
IV. To explore the correlations between patient characteristics and response rates with the use of fluocinonide 0.05% cream.
OUTLINE:
Patients apply topical fluocinonide cream twice daily (BID) in weeks 1-2 and once daily (QD) in weeks 3-4.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Symptom Scores of Vaginal Dryness Baseline and 4 weeks Change in symptom scores of vaginal dryness, itching, and dyspareunia will be evaluated by the Mayo/North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG) patient questionnaire which has patients grade how much vaginal dryness, vaginal itching, and vaginal discomfort during intercourse they are currently experiencing on an ordinal scale of zero to four (none, mild, moderate, severe, and very severe, respectively). Analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test with 2.5% significance level to account for two co-primary endpoints.
Outcome measures median change in score from baseline to end of study. Scale is explained above for the scoring of symptoms at each time point. The median change (i.e. median difference) can range from -4 to +4; negative values indicate improved symptoms, zero no change, and positive values indicate worsened symptoms.Change in Symptom Scores of Dyspareunia Baseline and 4 weeks Change in symptom scores of vaginal dryness, itching, and dyspareunia will be evaluated by the Mayo/North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG) patient questionnaire which has patients grade how much vaginal dryness, vaginal itching, and vaginal discomfort during intercourse they are currently experiencing on an ordinal scale of zero to four (none, mild, moderate, severe, and very severe, respectively).
