Summary

This trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, bazedoxifene and conjugated estrogens, can change breast MRI parameters.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 45-65 with a BMI under 36, experiencing menopause symptoms, and at moderate risk of breast cancer. They must not have had periods for at least 60 days or have high FSH levels if younger with prior hysterectomy. Participants should be willing to undergo blood tests, mammograms, MRI scans and can't have a history of certain cancers or be on hormone treatments recently.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the combination of bazedoxifene and conjugated estrogens over six months to see how it affects breast MRI parameters in women who are at an increased risk for developing breast cancer but do not currently have it.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include those commonly associated with estrogen therapy such as nausea, headache, dizziness, stomach cramps; however specific side effects related to this drug combination will be monitored throughout the trial.
