Pilot Study of Pharmacologic Manipulation of AGE (Advanced Glycation Endproducts) Levels in ER+, Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Endocrine Therapy

The purpose of this study is to look at the effects that the study drug (OPC) has on AGE
levels in patients with ER+ metastatic breast cancer.

AGEs are a type of metabolite, or substance, found in the food. The AGE content in food is
determined by the types of food you eat and also how you prepare your food. The researchers
helping conduct this study have found a potential link between AGE levels and cancer. The
purpose of this study is to see if certain drug (OPC) has an effect on the AGE levels in your
blood and to see if those AGE levels have an effect on your cancer.
