This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled dose-response efficacy study of oral (Z)-endoxifen in premenopausal women with measurable breast density. There will be 5 in-clinic visits (Screening, Day 1, Months 1, 3 and 6) and 3 self-report visits (Months 2, 4 and 5). Standard of care mammograms will be used for the screening mammogram as well as the 24-month follow up visit.

Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Mammographic BI-RADS® malignancy code ≥3 at baseline mammography
Any previous diagnosis of breast cancer, including carcinoma in situ, or any other cancer (non-melanoma skin cancer and in situ cancer of the cervix are not exclusion criteria)
A history of breast surgery, e.g., reduction or enlargement, which might affect mammographic density measurements
Current medical conditions:
BMI > 30
Women who have an increased risk of venous thrombosis due to immobilization, e.g., using wheelchair
Agents that have the potential to decrease endoxifen levels through increased metabolic clearance:
Lactating, pregnant, or plan to become pregnant in the next year
History of thromboembolic disease such as embolus, deep vein thrombosis, stroke, TIA (transient ischemic attack) or myocardial infarction
Allergy to endoxifen or any of its components
Previous treatment with an anti-oestrogen, including experimental drug studies (e.g., Karma CREME, Karisma-1 or Karisma-2)
Prescribed and regular use of anticoagulants (defined as substances included in group B01A in the ATC-system)
Participation in another investigational clinical trial in the last 6 months
Not willing or able to understand the study information and/or informed consent
having at least one menstruation during the prior 12 months; women with an intrauterine device are considered premenopausal if <52 years
