Study Summary

This phase II trial studies how well topical afimoxifene works in treating patients with breast cancer who have undergone radiation therapy on one breast. Topical afimoxifene is a quick-drying medicated gel that may block the growth of breast cancer cells when applied to the breast skin. The purpose of this research is to determine what effect, if any, differences in skin type between women have on the delivery of topical afimoxifene to the breast tissue, and whether radiation affects the delivery of topical afimoxifene to breast tissue.

Primary Outcome

Univariate analyses will relate each characteristic to tissue drug concentration using either correlation analysis for continuous characteristics or a t-test, analysis of variance or rank sum test for categorical characteristics. Multiple linear regression modelling will be used to select those characteristics that provide the strongest independent contribution to the model.
