Breast Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
This trial will assess the intratumoural pharmacological activity of BN83495 by changes in intratumoural levels of sex hormones and associated inhibition of steroid sulphatase (STS) activity.
Interventions
40mg tablet oral daily administration from Day 1 to Day 14.
