What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To assess the disease free survival (DFS) with 6 years of adjuvant anastrozole compared with 3 years of adjuvant anastrozole in postmenopausal hormone sensitive breast cancer patients, subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen

    Measured: After 9 years for the group with 6 years of adjuvant anastrozol, subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen or after 6 years for the group with 3 years of adjuvant anastrozole subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. To compare the incidence of contralateral breast cancer after 6 years versus 3 years adjuvant anastrozole, subsequent to 2 to 3 years of tamoxifen

    Measured: After 9 years for the group with 6 years of adjuvant anastrozol, subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen or after 6 years for the group with 3 years of adjuvant anastrozole subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen

  2. To compare the overall survival after 6 years versus 3 years adjuvant anastrozole, subsequent to 2 to 3 years of tamoxifen

    Measured: After 9 years for the group with 6 years of adjuvant anastrozol, subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen or after 6 years for the group with 3 years of adjuvant anastrozole subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen

  3. To compare toxicity of 6 years versus 3 years of adjuvant anastrozole in postmenopausal hormone sensitive breast cancer patients, subsequent to 2 to 3 years of tamoxifen

    Measured: After 9 years for the group with 6 years of adjuvant anastrozol, subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen or after 6 years for the group with 3 years of adjuvant anastrozole subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen

  4. To determine regional differences in the initial treatment of breast cancer retrospectively by collecting baseline information on initial therapies.

    Aspects of the initial treatment that will be investigated are e.g. the kind of surgery performed (breast saving or mastectomy) and whether or not chemotherapy is given and which chemotherapy was used in postmenopausal patients in relation to the primary tumour and patient characteristics.

    Measured: After 9 years

  5. To compare the cost effectiveness of 3 years versus 6 years adjuvant anastrozole therapy, after subsequent 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen treatment.

    Measured: After 9 years for the group with 6 years of adjuvant anastrozol, subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen or after 6 years for the group with 3 years of adjuvant anastrozole subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen

  6. To assess patterns of care in The Netherlands in prevention, detection and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with breast cancer treated with adjuvant anastrozole.

    Measured: After 9 years

  7. To relate the number of osteoporotic fractures during and following treatment with adjuvant anastrozole with the compliance to osteoporotic guidelines.

    Measured: After 9 years

  8. To analyse occurrence of distant (bone) metastases in relation to occurrence of osteopenia and osteoporosis, and in relation to use of supplements and therapy for reduced BMD.

    Measured: After 9 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Anastrozole in people with Breast Cancer, run by Maastricht University Medical Center at 67 sites in Netherlands.

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 2 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 21 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 67 sites in Netherlands. 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 assess the disease free survival (DFS) with 6 years of adjuvant anastrozole compared with 3 years of adjuvant anastrozole in postmenopausal hormone sensitive breast cancer patients, subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen (time frame: After 9 years for the group with 6 years of adjuvant anastrozol, subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen or after 6 years for the group with 3 years of adjuvant anastrozole subsequent to 2 to 3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen). 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 NCT00301457, which also lists 4 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 21 Feb 2023.
