Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women at Increased Risk of Breast Cancer And Who Are Receiving Exemestane on MAP3

Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Osteoporosis
Registration Number
NCT00688246
Lead Sponsor
NCIC Clinical Trials Group
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Learning about the effect of exemestane on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women at increased risk of breast cancer may help plan treatment, decrease the risk of broken bones, and help patients live more comfortably.

PURPOSE: This research study is measuring bone mineral density in postmenopausal women at increased risk of developing breast cancer who are receiving exemestane on clinical trial CAN-NCIC-MAP3.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* To assess the percentage change in bone mineral density (BMD) as measured by dual x-ray absorptometry (DEXA) scans of the spine (L1-L4) and total hip 2 years after randomization (and registration to the MAP.3B protocol).

Secondary

* To assess the percentage change in BMD as measured by DEXA scans of the spine (L1-L4), and total hip 5 years after randomization (and registration to the MAP.3B protocol).

* To compare the proportion of women who develop BMD of the spine (L1-L4) and total hip below the absolute threshold value for osteoporosis (T score ≤ -2.5 SD below the mean peak bone mass in young women) in the treatment groups.

* To examine the pattern of changes in BMD parameters and bone biomarkers (i.e., PINP and NTx) over time and the impact of covariants using exploratory longitudinal analyses.

* To compare the proportion of women who develop clinical skeletal fractures in the treatment groups.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo bone mineral density (BMD) measurement by dual x-ray absorptometry (DEXA). Blood specimens are collected at baseline and at 1 year, and 5 years and stored in a central laboratory for future assays of the bone biomarkers.

If the subject withdraws from the core MAP.3 study before 5 years, a bone density measurement and serum for bone biomarkers is obtained unless performed within the past 3 months. Patients may continue to be followed on the MAP.3 core study for fractures (and other MAP.3 study endpoints) for a minimum of 5 years after randomization.
