Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety as well as the characteristics of the female hormone and study medications after administration in pre-menopausal women with estrogen receptor positive advanced breast cancer who were randomised in a 1:1 ratio to either of the two treatment groups; the ZD9393 3.6 mg depot group or ZD9393 10.8 mg depot group, both given in combination with tamoxifen tablets.

Inclusion criteria

* Female ≥20 years and pre-menopausal.Pre-menopausal defined as 1) last menses within 1 year of randomisation, and 2) E2 ≥10 pg/mL and FSH ≤ 30 mIU/mL within 4 weeks of randomisation. * Hormone sensitivity (ER positive) of primary or secondary tumour tissue. * Histological/cytological confirmation of breast cancer and are candidates to receive hormonal therapy as therapy for advanced breast cancer.

Exclusion criteria

* Patients who have received tamoxifen or other hormonal therapies as adjuvant therapy for breast cancer within 24 weeks before randomisation and/or who have received prior treatment with hormonal therapies for advanced breast cancer * Patients who have received LHRHa as adjuvant therapy for breast cancer within 48 weeks before randomisation * Patients who have relapsed during adjuvant hormonal therapy or within 48 weeks after completion of adjuvant hormonal therapy and/or

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Patients With Progression-free Survival (PFS) at 24 Weeks24 weeks after the first dosingA patient is judged as progression-free survive at Week 24 if their PFS time is at least 24 weeks with no progression event prior to Week 24 (ie, overall visit response is complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) at a tumour assessment at least 24 weeks after randomization). Overall visit response is assessed according to the RECIST version 1.1. %PFS is the proportion of patients with PFS.

MeasureTime frameDescription

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Patients With Progression-free Survival (PFS) at 24 Weeks

A patient is judged as progression-free survive at Week 24 if their PFS time is at least 24 weeks with no progression event prior to Week 24 (ie, overall visit response is complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) at a tumour assessment at least 24 weeks after randomization). Overall visit response is assessed according to the RECIST version 1.1. %PFS is the proportion of patients with PFS.
