To study how efficacious and safe Anastrozole is in women with breast cancer

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Postmenopausal Women with hormone-receptor positive metastatic Breast Cancer.
Registration Number
CTRI/2011/05/001733
Lead Sponsor
Cipla Ltd
Brief Summary

This study is a single arm, open label, multi-centric study to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability of Anastrozole as an adjuvant to Paclitaxel for postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor positive metastatic breast cancer. In this study 30 subjects will be enrolled from 4 participating centers in India.The primary objective of study is to measure and compare the effects of Anastrozole in the reduction of serum estradiol levels in metastatic breast cancer patients. Study will be conducted in 2 phases: Screening Phase (Screening Visit) and Enrollment & Treatment Phase (Visit 1 – Visit 7). The study duration is of 32 weeks including 2 weeks of screening, 12 weeks of enrolment period, and 18 weeks of treatment period.**xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /**
