Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the Area under the curve (AUC) of endoxifen in patients with breast cancer treated with tamoxifen with and without green tea.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of tamoxifen in patients with breast cancer treated with tamoxifen with and without green tea capsules. 2. To compare other tamoxifen and endoxifen pharmacokinetic outcomes (i.e. clearance, maximum concentration (Cmax), minimal concentration (Ctrough) and time until maximum concentration (Tmax) and elimination half-life (T*)). in patients with breast cancer treated with tamoxifen with and without green tea. 3. To evaluate the incidence and severity of side-effects of treatment with tamoxifen in absence and presence of green tea.
