Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Best Overall Response Rate (BORR) (Calliper)24 weeks

The BORR were defined as the percentage of patients with confirmed CR or PR in the ITT population during 24 weeks pre-operative treatment period (based on the data from calliper measurement).

CR (or PR) criteria are met at 2 or more time in points every 4 weeks. Per RECIST Criteria (V1.0) and assessed by Calliper: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Best Overall Response Rate (BORR) (US)24 weeks

The BORR were defined as the percentage of patients with confirmed CR or PR in the ITT population during 24 weeks pre-operative treatment period (based on the data from ultra sound (US) measurement).

CR (or PR) criteria are met at 2 or more time in points every 4 weeks. Per RECIST Criteria (V1.0) and assessed by US: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Best Overall Response Rate (BORR) (MRI/CT)24 weeks

The BORR were defined as the percentage of patients with confirmed CR or PR in the ITT population during 24 weeks pre-operative treatment period(based on the data from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) measurement).

CR (or PR) criteria are met at either 12 weeks or 24 weeks. Per RECIST Criteria (V1.0) and assessed by MRI or CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Lumbar SpineAssessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

Change from baseline in Bone Mineral Density value (percentage), in all subjects who used DXA(Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) method throughout the study, at 24 weeks measured at lumbar spine.

Bone Turnover Marker (BAP) EIA MethodAssessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

Change from baseline in serum Bone-Alkaline Phosphatase (BAP) at 24 weeks measured by EIA method

Serum Oestrone (E1) ConcentrationsAssessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

Ratio of serum Oestrone (E1) concentration (pg/mL) in the ITT population from baseline at 24 weeks.

Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Cervical ThighboneAssessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

Change from baseline in Bone Mineral Density value (percentage), in all subjects who used DXA(Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) method throughout the study, at 24 weeks measured at cervical thighbone.

Bone Turnover Marker (NTX)Assessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

Change from baseline in serum crosslinked N-Telopeptide of type I collagen (NTX) at 24 weeks

Serum Oestradiol (E2) ConcentrationsAssessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

Ratio of serum Oestradiol (E2) concentration (pg/mL) in the ITT population from baseline at 24 weeks.

Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) StatusAssessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

HER2 status in the ITT population is categorized as Positive or Negative

Histopathological Response Rate (HRR)Assessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

Number of patients in the ITT population defined as histopathological responders over the total number of patients x 100. An histopathological responder = a patient classified as Grade 1b, 2 or 3 for the histopathological response (Grade 0 = no response, 1a = mild response, 1b = moderate response, 2 = marked response or 3 = complete response)

Progesterone Receptor (PgR) StatusAssessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

PgR status in the ITT population is categorized as Positive or Negative.

Anastrozole Plasma Concentrations (Cmin)Assessed at week 12

Trough Plasma concentrations (Cmin) of Anastrozole - only Anastrozole arm was evaluated for Trough Plasma concentrations.

Bone Turnover Marker (BAP) CLEIA MethodAssessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

Change from baseline in serum Bone-Alkaline Phosphatase (BAP) at 24 weeks measured by CLEIA method

Oestrogen Receptor (ER) StatusAssessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

ER status in the ITT population is categorized as Positive or Negative

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B)Assessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

Change from baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B)in the ITT population at 24 weeks. Trial Outcome Index (TOI) = the sum of the Physical Well-Being (PWB), Functional Well-Being (FWB), and Breast Cancer Scale (BCS) subscales of FACT-B.

FACT-B includes 36 questions; 7 in PWB (Physical Well-Being); 7 inSWB (Social / Family Well-Being); 6 in EWB (Emotional Well-Being); 7 in FWB (Functional Well-Being); 9 in BCS (Breast Cancer Subscale).

Total score of subscores or TOI is calculated from each score of question. Higher score means better and lower score means worthier.

Score range; 0-28 in PWB; 0-28 in SWB; 0-24 in EWB; 0-28 in FWB; 0-36 in BCS; 0-92 in TOI.

Endocrine Subscale (ES)Assessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

Change from baseline in Endocrine Symptom Subscale (ES)) in the ITT population at 24 weeks. ES score = the sum of the responses to all the questions on ES, low scores reflect poor quality of life and high scores reflects better quality of life.

Score range: 0-72
