简要总结
RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using letrozole may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. It is not yet known whether letrozole is more effective than a placebo in treating in women with breast cancer who have already received 5 years of aromatase inhibitor therapy.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying letrozole to see how well it works compared with a placebo in treating women with primary breast cancer who have received 5 years of aromatase inhibitor therapy.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To compare the disease-free survival of women with primary breast cancer treated with letrozole vs placebo after completing approximately 5 years (i.e., 4½ - 6 years) of aromatase inhibitor therapy (e.g., letrozole, anastrozole, or exemestane).
Secondary
- To compare the effect of these drugs on overall (all cause specific) mortality of these patients.
- To compare the incidence of contralateral breast cancer in patients treated with these drugs.
- To evaluate the long-term clinical and laboratory safety of aromatase inhibitor therapy, particularly cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (e.g., significant coronary artery disease, including myocardial infarction and angina requiring percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or coronary artery bypass graft, fatal and nonfatal strokes, and all vascular deaths); incidence of all bone fractures (with particular emphasis on hip and wrist fractures as indicators of osteoporosis); changes in bone density; and common toxicities.
- To compare overall quality of life (QOL) and menopausal-specific QOL of patients treated with these drugs.

研究组 & 干预措施
Letrozole
Patients receive oral letrozole once daily for up to 5 years in the absence of unacceptable toxicity, disease recurrence, or development of a second malignancy.
干预措施: letrozole (Drug)
Placebo
Patients receive oral placebo once daily for up to 5 years in the absence of unacceptable toxicity, disease recurrence, or development of a second malignancy.
干预措施: placebo (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Disease-free Survival (DFS)
时间窗: Unitil the end of study with a median follow up of 75 months
It is defined as the months from the day of randomization to the earliest date when a recurrence of the primary disease (recurrence in the breast, chest wall and nodal sites or the development of metastatic disease) or a contralateral breast cancer was observed. Subjects who died without recurrence of the primary disease or the development of the contralateral breast cancer were censored at their death date. If a patient has not recurred, developed a contralateral breast cancer, or died, disease-free survival was censored on the date of the last day the patient was known to be alive. Probability of disease free survival at 5 years is estimated and reported.
次要结局
- Overall Survival (OS)(Until the end of study with a median follow-up of 75 months)
- Incidence of Contralateral Breast Cancer(10 years)
- Change From Baseline in Role Function- Physical Scale on SF(Short Form)-36 Health Survey(8 years)
