This is a pivotal phase II, multicenter, open-label trial, designed to compare the efficacy of exemestane versus anastrozole as a first line treatment for advanced breast cancer. One hundred postmenopausal patients, with metastatic, positive hormone receptor breast cancer will be enrolled in this trial.

The primary study endpoint is objective response rate. The study has been designed following Simon's test, with a p1-p0=0.15. p1 is the optimum level of activity of the experimental treatment (exemestane), and p0 is the minimum expected activity. In this study, p1 is 25% (25% of RR) and p0 is 10% (10% of RR). With an alpha error of 0.05 and a beta error of 0.1, Simon test establishes a first step of 21 patients per treatment arm. If at least 2 objective responses are observed in exemestane arm, recruitment will continue until 100 patients have been recruited. After this second recruitment phase, at least 7 objective responses must be observed to confirm the expected exemestane level of activity.
