Trial Description

Summary

Postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive and negative Her2 tumours.

Estimation of the 5-year disease-free survival in the control arm is 80%. The experimental arm is expected to increase the 5-year disease-free survival by 4% (up to 84%). With an alpha error of 0.05 and 80% power, 1445 patients per arm are needed. Assuming a 10% post-randomization drop-out, 3180 patients in total are needed.

Before randomization, the patients will be stratified according to the center, positive nodes(0 vs. 1-3 vs. ≥4), previous chemotherapy (yes vs no) and hormonal receptors status.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Written signed informed consent.

2. Breast cancer histologically confirmed.

3. Stages I, II, IIIA of invasive breast cancer. Patients must comply with one of the following characteristics: N+, T > 2 cm.

4. Mastectomy or lumpectomy with free margins + radiotherapy, axilar node dissection or centinel node dissection.

5. Positive hormonal receptors (ER+ and/or PgR+) determined at a central laboratory.

6. Negative HER2 (defined as IHQ 0 or 1+ or negative FISH when IHQ 2+ or 3+).

7. Postmenopausal women (woman complies with one of the following criteria: age ≥ 60 years, age ≥ 45 years and amenorrhea, amenorrhea ≥ 12 months and undamaged uterus, bilateral ovariectomy, FSH and estradiol level into postmenopausal range (using local ranges).

8. ECOG = 0, 1 or 2.

9. Age > 18 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Metastatic disease or invasive bilateral breast cancer.

2. Negative ER and PgR breast cancer.

3. Treatment with a not approved or experimental drug within 4 weeks before randomization.

4. Current or previous malignant process within the last 5 years (different from breast cancer or basocelular carcinoma or escamocelular of the skin or cervix carcinoma in situ).
