Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if mifepristone prevents worsening of your cancer.
Mifepristone is an antiprogesterone agent, a drug which blocks female hormones, that is
commonly used for the termination of pregnancies. It has not been approved by the Food and
Drug Administration for use in the treatment of cancer. It is unlicensed in the United States
for your condition. However, previous work has indicated that mifepristone may be useful due
to how it works. It is being made available for use in the United States for compassionate
use through the Feminist Majority Foundation.
