Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
(Z)-endoxifen armEXPERIMENTAL -
PK CohortEXPERIMENTAL(Z)-endoxifen capsules orally once daily for 4 weeks. Initial (Z)-endoxifen dose evaluated will be 40 mg with an option to evaluate 20 mg or 80 mg. The PK Cohort participants may extend treatment based on Ki-67% at Week 4. If Ki-67 ≤ 10% at Week 4, participant will be offered option to continue on this treatment for up to 6 cycles/Week 24. Each cycle is 28 days. If Ki-67 \> 10% at Week 4, participant will be withdrawn and go on to surgery.
Treatment Cohort - Single Treatment ArmEXPERIMENTAL(Z)-endoxifen 40mg capsules orally once daily for 4 weeks + goserelin 3.6 mg by subcutaneous implant approximately every 28 days. (Z)-endoxifen 40mg dose based on results of PK Cohort. If Ki-67 ≤ 10% at Week 4, continue on this treatment for up to 6 cycles/Week 24. Each cycle is 28 days. And then go on to surgery within 3 weeks of Cycle 6 day 26. If Ki-67 \> 10% at Week 4, participant will complete early termination assessments.
PK Cohort 80 mgEXPERIMENTAL(Z)-endoxifen 80 mg capsules orally once daily for 4 weeks. The PK Cohort participants may extend treatment based on Ki-67% at Week 4. If Ki-67 ≤ 10% at Week 4, participant will be offered option to continue on this treatment for up to 6 cycles/Week 24. Each cycle is 28 days. If Ki-67 \> 10% at Week 4, participant will be withdrawn and go on to surgery.
PK Cohort 80 mg + OFSEXPERIMENTAL(Z)-endoxifen 80 mg capsules orally once daily for 4 weeks + goserelin 3.6 mg by subcutaneous implant approximately every 28 days. The PK Cohort participants may extend treatment based on Ki-67% at Week 4. If Ki-67 ≤ 10% at Week 4, participant will be offered option to continue on this treatment for up to 6 cycles/Week 24. Each cycle is 28 days. If Ki-67 \> 10% at Week 4, participant will be withdrawn and go on to surgery.

Frequently asked questions about endoxifen

What is endoxifen used for?

Endoxifen is an investigational small molecule being studied in breast neoplasms, mammographic breast density, and gonadotropin-dependent precocious puberty. Atossa Therapeutics is developing it across these indications, with clinical work focused on estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and related conditions. It is not approved for any use and remains in clinical development.

What does endoxifen target?

Endoxifen targets the estrogen receptor, or ER. It is a small molecule directed at ER, and the clinical programs are biomarker selected, meaning patients are chosen based on ER status. This target focus underlies its study in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and in breast density, which is also estrogen driven.

Who makes endoxifen?

Endoxifen is being developed by Atossa Therapeutics, Inc., which trades under the ticker ATOS. The company sponsors the clinical programs for the drug across breast cancer, mammographic breast density, and precocious puberty indications.

What phase is endoxifen in?

Endoxifen is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The Phase 2 programs cover estrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer, mammographic breast density, and gonadotropin-dependent precocious puberty associated with McCune-Albright syndrome.

What clinical trials is endoxifen in?

Endoxifen has been studied in three Phase 2 trials. NCT05607004 is evaluating (Z)-endoxifen in premenopausal women with ER+/HER2- breast cancer and is active but not recruiting. NCT04616430 tested topical endoxifen in women with mammographic breast density and is completed. NCT07869732 will study (Z)-endoxifen in girls with MAS-associated peripheral precocious puberty and is not yet recruiting.

Is endoxifen the same as (Z)-endoxifen or topical endoxifen?

Yes. Endoxifen is also known as (Z)-endoxifen and topical endoxifen. The (Z)-endoxifen name appears in the breast cancer and precocious puberty trials, while topical endoxifen refers to the formulation studied in mammographic breast density. All three names refer to the same Atossa Therapeutics drug candidate.
