About this study
Official title: Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Study To Compare The Efficacy, Tolerance And Quality Of Life Of 5 Years Of Adjuvant Exemestane (Aromasin) Therapy With 2.5 To 3 Years Of Adjuvant Tamoxifen Therapy, Followed By 2 To 2.5 Years Of Exemestane For A Total Duration Of 5 Years To Treat HR+ Post-Menopausal Patients With Non-Metastatic Breast Cancer
To compare recurrence free survival between two treatment groups (5 years with exemestane vs 2.5 to 3 years tamoxifen followed by 2 to 2.5 years of exemestane for a total duration of 5 years)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing exemestane and tamoxifen in people with Breast Neoplasms, run by Pfizer at 59 sites in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 59 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
To compare recurrence free survival between two treatment groups. (time frame: 2.75 years and 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00279448, which also lists 9 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Dec 2011.
