Preservation of Fertility by Ovarian Stimulation Associated With Tamoxifen, Prior Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer
Sponsor: Institut Cancerologie de l'Ouest
Summary
The rates of patients with spontaneous pregnancies reported after breast cancer is between 3 and 7%, particularly because of these treatments. Therefore, it is essential to anticipate this problem by proposing the use of fertility preservation techniques for these young patients prior to any gonadotoxic treatment. PRESAGE study offers to patients fewer than 40, to preserve their fertility before neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy for invasive breast cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of ovarian stimulation emergency order not to delay the start of treatment. This stimulation combined gonadotropin and tamoxifen followed by an oocyte retrieval. The patient may receive an oocyte vitrification and / or embryonic. This procedure is already done in many countries, and by some French teams, by combining tamoxifen or letrozole to the classic gonadotropin stimulation.

Tamoxifen stim in early follicular phase
Day cycle of the patient when ovarian stimulation begin (early follicular phase) = D1 to D3 * Stimulation with simultaneously: TAM (tamoxifen) 60mg / day + FSH® 150 to 300 IU / day (following ovarian reserve) * Monitoring (ultrasound + blood test E2, LH (luteinizing hormone) and P) every 2 to 3 days +/- dose adjustment of FSH * Ovulation by blocking the GnRH antagonist (gonadotropin-releasing hormone : CETROTIDE) introduced according to the usual criteria, * Continued monitoring (ultrasound + blood test E2, LH and P) every 2 to 3 days * Triggering ovulation by OVITRELLE ® 250μg according to the usual criteria * 35 h after the onset, oocyte puncture transvaginally the gynecology unit under local or general anesthesia.
Tamoxifen stim in late follicular phase
Day cycle of the patient when ovarian stimulation begin (late follicular phase) = D4 to D14 * Monitoring (ultrasound + blood test E2, LH and P) until a follicle of 15 mm * Ovulation induction by OVITRELLE® 250μg. * Continued monitoring (ultrasound + blood test E2, LH and P) 4 days after OVITRELLE® to the proper stage for the beginning of stimulation. * Stimulation with simultaneously: TAM 60mg / day + FSH® 150 to 300 IU / day (following ovarian reserve) + CETROTIDE * Continued monitoring (ultrasound + blood test E2, LH and P) every 2 to 3 days +/- adaptation of FSH * Triggering ovulation by OVITRELLE ® 250μg according to the usual criteria * 35 h after the onset, oocyte puncture transvaginally the gynecology unit under local or general anesthesia.
Tamoxifen stim in luteal phase
Day cycle of the patient when ovarian stimulation begin (luteal phase) = D15 to D28 * 1 or 2 Monitoring (ultrasound + blood test E2, LH and P) to check the validity of the post-ovulatory phase * Stimulation with simultaneously: TAM 60mg / day + FSH® 150 to 300 IU / day (following ovarian reserve) + CETROTIDE * Continued monitoring (ultrasound + blood test E2, LH and P) every 2 to 3 days +/- adaptation of FSH * Triggering ovulation by OVITRELLE ® 250μg according to the usual criteria * 35 h after the onset, oocyte puncture transvaginally the gynecology unit under local or general anesthesia
