Trial summary

Established in 2010, the Long-term Anastrozole vs Tamoxifen Treatment Effects (LATTE) observational study aims to collect vital long-term safety and efficacy data on anastrozole and tamoxifen, drugs that were taken by post-menopausal women as part of the Anastrozole Tamoxifen Alone or in Combination (ATAC) trial.

About this study

Official title: Long-term Anastrozole Versus Tamoxifen Treatment Effects (LATTE)

Established in 2010, the Long-term Anastrozole vs Tamoxifen Treatment Effects (LATTE) observational study aims to collect vital long-term safety and efficacy data on anastrozole and tamoxifen, drugs that were taken by post-menopausal women as part of the Anastrozole Tamoxifen Alone or in Combination (ATAC) trial. ATAC was a crucial breast cancer trial evaluating the use of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in the adjuvant setting, with a median follow-up of over 10 years. The ATAC trial assessed the safety and efficacy of anastrozole+placebo, tamoxifen+placebo and anastrozole+tamoxifen in postmenopausal women undergoing treatment for invasive primary breast cancer

Read the detailed description

The LATTE study aims to collect further follow-up information on a maximum of 2200 UK eligible patients, who were randomised to the monotherapy arms (anastrozole or tamoxifen) in the ATAC trial. The LATTE study also aims to collect follow-up information on as many eligible patients as possible in international sites in the EU, US and Australia/New Zealand who were randomised to the monotherapy arms (anastrozole or tamoxifen) in the ATAC trial. The study's primary objective is to provide additional efficacy and safety data on time to recurrence of breast cancer and death after recurrence. The secondary objectives include time to distant recurrence, cancer-specific survival, new breast primaries, other cancers, ischaemic cardiac and cerebrovascular events and hip (and other) fractures. Participants will be followed-up annually until at least 15 years median follow-up.

In 2010, results from 10-year follow-up from ATAC demonstrated that there is long-term superiority of anastrozole over tamoxifen as initial adjuvant therapy for post-menopausal women with hormone-sensitive early breast cancer. This paper demonstrated that there were significantly lower rates of local and distant recurrence, as well as reduced contralateral breast cancer in patients treated with anastrozole. However, in 2016 a recent preliminary analysis of the LATTE study demonstrated that the benefits of anastrozole do not continue long-term after 10 years in terms of reduced recurrence rates. The results also suggested that there was a larger reduction of new contralateral tumours with tamoxifen. However, the preliminary analysis was limited in that there was limited data with possible under reporting of vital events inked to the safety and efficacy endpoints; this therefore may diminish the effect of anastrozole. Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) therefore require extended cohort events, obtainable from HES, cancer registration and mortality data in order to conclude the long-term safety of either intervention. QMUL will then be able to integrate the pseudonymised LATTE data with the ATAC data sets in order to perform an analysis of the overall 20-year follow-up period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to recurrence

    Time to recurrence of breast cancer in the post 10 year period (defined as the earliest of local or distant recurrence, new primary breast cancer, or death)

    Measured: LATTE particpants who are 10 years post treatment will be followed for 5 years for the purpose of this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Queen Mary University of London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 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 10 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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.

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?

Time to recurrence (time frame: LATTE particpants who are 10 years post treatment will be followed for 5 years for the purpose of this study.). 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 NCT01745289, which also lists 2 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 10 Jul 2019.
