Basic Trial Information

Phase	Type	Status	Age	Sponsor	Protocol IDs
No phase specified	Prevention	Active	40 to 70	Other	CRUK-IBIS-IIB EU-20227, NCT00078832, IBCSG-31-03-PREV, EUDRACT-2004-003991-12

Objectives

Primary

1. Determine the effectiveness of anastrozole in preventing breast cancer in postmenopausal women at increased risk for the disease.

Secondary

1. Determine the role of this drug in preventing estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer in these participants.
2. Determine the effect of this drug on breast cancer mortality in these participants.
3. Determine the effect of this drug on other cancers, cardiovascular disease, fracture rates, and non-breast cancer deaths in these participants.
4. Determine the tolerability and acceptability of side effects of this drug in these participants.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

• Meets at least 1 of the relative risk factors based on age as follows:
  • 45 to 70 years of age:
    • First-degree relative who developed breast cancer at ≤ 50 years of age
    • First-degree relative who developed bilateral breast cancer
    • Two or more first- or second-degree relatives who developed breast cancer or ovarian cancer
      • Participants having both relatives who are second degree and on the opposite sides of the family must have at least one that was diagnosed at ≤ 50 years of age
    • Nulliparous (or first birth at ≥ 30 years of age) and a first-degree relative who developed breast cancer
    • Benign biopsy with proliferative disease and a first-degree relative who developed breast cancer
    • Mammographic opacity covering at least 50% of the breast in the absence of hormone replacement therapy within the past 3 months
  • 60 to 70 years of age:
    • First-degree relative with breast cancer at any age
    • Age at menopause ≥ 55 years
    • Nulliparous or age at first birth ≥ 30 years

    • Nulliparous (or first birth at ≥ 30 years of age) and a first-degree relative who developed breast cancer at ≤ 40 years of age
    • Benign biopsy with proliferative disease and a first-degree relative who developed breast cancer at ≤ 40 years of age

• All age groups (40 to 70 ears of age) with a 10-year risk > 5% who do not fit into the above categories are allowed
  • Clearly apparent family history AND/OR other risk factors indicating appropriate increased risk of breast cancer for age
• The following prior breast conditions are allowed (for all age groups):
  • Lobular carcinoma in situ
  • Atypical ductal or lobular hyperplasia in a benign lesion
  • Ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS), diagnosed within the past 6 months, and treated by mastectomy
• No evidence of breast cancer on mammogram within the past year
• Hormone receptor status:
  • For patients with prior DCIS, estrogen- or progesterone-receptor status must have been positive
    • Must have had > 5% positive cells

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Patient Characteristics:

Age

• 40 to 70

Sex

• Female

Menopausal status

• Postmenopausal, defined as at least 1 of the following:
  • Over 60 years of age
  • Bilateral oophorectomy
  • ≤ 60 years of age with a uterus and amenorrhea for at least 12 months
  • ≤ 60 years of age without a uterus and with follicle-stimulating hormone levels > 30 IU/L

Performance status

• Not specified

Life expectancy

• At least 10 years

Hematopoietic

• Not specified

Hepatic

• Not specified

Renal

• Not specified

Other

• Psychologically and physically suitable to receive 5 years of anti-estrogen therapy
• No cancer within the past 5 years except nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
• No evidence of osteoporosis or fragility fractures within the spine
  • Participants with a T-score > minus 4 and no more than 2 fragility fractures are allowed
• No concurrent severe disease that would place the participant at unusual risk or confound the results of the study
• No other medical condition that would preclude the ability to receive the study treatment

Expected Enrollment

A total of 6,000 participants will be accrued for this study.

Outcomes

Development of histologically confirmed breast cancer, both invasive and non-invasive with median follow-up at 5 years

Breast cancer mortality with median follow-up at 10 years

Outline

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Participants are stratified according to participating center. Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

• Arm I: Participants receive oral anastrozole daily for 5 years.
• Arm II: Participants receive an oral placebo daily for 5 years.

In both arms, treatment continues in the absence of the development of breast cancer (including ductal carcinoma in situ), a drop in the T-score below minus 4, or the occurrence of a new fragility fracture.

Participants are followed for 5 years.
