Study Summary

RATIONALE: S-adenosyl-L-methionine may help relieve hot flashes in women based upon its ability to potentially modulate serotonin. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well s-adenosyl-L-methionine works in treating hot flashes in women with a history of breast cancer or those who do not wish to take estrogen due to a perceived increased risk of breast cancer.

Primary Outcome

Hot flash score was defined as the number of mild hot flashes for the week plus two times the number of moderate hot flashes plus three times the number of severe hot flashes plus four times the number of very severe hot flashes. Hot flash frequency was defined as the average number of hot flashes per day for each week. Week 7 percent of baseline was calculated. The reduction in hot flash score and frequency can be calculated by subtracting the week 7 percent of baseline from 100 percent.

Interventions

  • OTHER questionnaire administration
  • PROCEDURE quality-of-life assessment
  • DRUG S-adenosyl-L-methionine disulfate p-toluene-sulfonate
