About this study

Official title: A Partially-blind Phase III Randomised Trial of Fulvestrant (Faslodex) With or Without Concomitant Anastrozole (Arimidex) Compared With Exemestane in Postmenopausal Women With ER+ve Locally Advanced/Metastatic Breast Cancer Following Progression on Non-steroidal Aromatase Inhibitors

A partially-blind, randomised, multicentre phase III trial of Faslodex plus concomitant Arimidex versus Faslodex plus Arimidex-Placebo versus exemestane in postmenopausal locally advanced / metastatic breast cancer patients who have progressed on NSAIs. Randomisation to Faslodex ± Arimidex / Arimidex-Placebo or exemestane will be open (1:1:1). For Faslodex treated patients the randomisation to Arimidex or Arimidex-Placebo will be double-blind.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival

    Measured: every 3 months during treatment and, at time of discontinuation from treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Objective complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) rate

    Measured: every 3 months during treatment and, at time of discontinuation from treatment

  2. Duration of response

    Measured: every 3 months during treatment and, at time of discontinuation from treatment

  3. Clinical benefit (i.e., 6-month CR, PR, and stable disease) rate

    Measured: every 3 months during treatment and, at time of discontinuation from treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing fulvestrant, anastrozole and exemestane in people with Progression-free Survival, run by AstraZeneca at 2 sites in South Korea.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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 29 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Korea. 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?

Progression-free survival (time frame: every 3 months during treatment and, at time of discontinuation from treatment). 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 NCT00944918, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Aug 2011.
