Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the increase (a 50% increase) in serum Estradiol levels after 3-month estradiol treatment.;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in terms of symptoms related to endocrine treatment and two global quality of life (QoL) indicators. • To evaluate the change in the biochemical marker of bone turnover modification C-telopeptide (C-terminal telopeptide of the 1 chain of type I collagen (CTX)), after 3-month estradiol treatment. • To evaluate breast cancer related free survival (BCRS), disease free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS). • To compare the results of this study to the results of our previous study on 3-month letrozole therapy free interval.;Primary end point(s): serum Estradiol levels after 3-month estradiol treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at baseline and after 3 months of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in terms of symptoms related to endocrine treatment and two global quality of life (QoL) indicators. • variations of biochemical marker of bone turnover modification C-telopeptide (C-terminal telopeptide of the 1 chain of type I collagen (CTX)), after 3-month estradiol treatment. • breast cancer related free survival (BCRS), disease free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: For Quality of Life: 24 months For C-tepoleptide marker evaluation: 15 months For BCRS, DFS, OS evaluation: ongoing
