Clinical Trials

Multiple clinical trials evaluate estrone and related estrogenic signaling pathways across Phase 1, Phase 2, and non-interventional designs. Sponsored by academic institutions, medical centers, and pharmaceutical companies such as Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Atossa Therapeutics, these studies target conditions including estrogen receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer, climacteric syndrome and menopause, secondary amenorrhea, gynecologic cancers, and obesity. Current recruitment statuses across these trials span from not yet recruiting and actively recruiting to completed and unknown.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Estrone binds to estrogen receptors to modulate downstream transcriptional activation and gene expression, serving as a circulating steroid reservoir that converts into the potent metabolite estradiol to drive cellular proliferation and differentiation. This estrogen receptor-mediated signaling plays a pivotal role in reproductive biology and endocrine-dependent pathologies, providing key therapeutic relevance to clinical investigations in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers, gynecologic malignancies, and climacteric syndrome.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
