Progression-Free Survival (PFS)From C1D1 to date of first documentation of PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first (up to maximum of 471 weeks of treatment exposure)PFS was defined as the time from Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) to date of first documentation of disease progression (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Documentation of progression was by objective disease assessment as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) (version 1.1). PD was defined as a \>=20% increase in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above the smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease in the sum was observed during therapy), with a minimum absolute increase of 5 millimeter (mm); or unequivocal progression of pre-existing lesions for non-target disease; or appearance of new unequivocal malignant lesions. Median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Percentage of Participants Achieving Objective Response (Objective Response Rate [ORR])From C1D1 until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first (up to maximum of 471 weeks of treatment exposure)ORR was the percentage of participants with an objective response (complete response \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\]). Per RECIST (version 1.1). CR: complete disappearance of all target lesions except nodal disease or disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker levels. All target nodes/lymph nodes must decrease to normal size (\<10 mm short axis); PR: \>=30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions (short diameter=sum for target nodes; longest diameter=sum for all other target lesions). PD: 20% increase in sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above the smallest sum observed, with a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm or unequivocal progression of pre-existing non-target lesions or appearance of new unequivocal malignant lesions.
Percentage of Participants Achieving Disease Control (Disease Control Rate [DCR])From C1D1 until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first (up to maximum of 471 weeks of treatment exposure)Disease control (DC) = CR, PR or stable disease (SD) \>= 24 weeks according to RECIST version 1.1 recorded from C1D1 until disease progression or death due to any cause. CR: complete disappearance of all target lesions except nodal disease or disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker levels. All target nodes/lymph nodes must decrease to normal size (\<10 mm short axis); PR: \>=30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions (short diameter=sum for target nodes; longest diameter=sum for all other target lesions). SD: Does not qualify for CR, PR or progression. PD: 20% increase in sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above the smallest sum observed, with a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm or appearance of new unequivocal malignant lesions.
Duration of ResponseFrom first documentation of CR or PR to date of first documentation of objective progression or death, whichever occurred first (up to maximum of 471 weeks of treatment exposure)Duration of response was the time from first documentation of CR or PR to date of first documentation of PD or death for the participants with an objective response (CR or PR). Per RECIST (version 1.1). CR: complete disappearance of all target lesions except nodal disease or disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker levels. All target nodes/lymph nodes must decrease to normal size (\<10 mm short axis); PR: \>=30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions (short diameter=sum for target nodes; longest diameter=sum for all other target lesions). PD: 20% increase in sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above the smallest sum observed, with a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm or unequivocal progression of pre-existing non-target lesions or appearance of new unequivocal malignant lesions. Kaplan-Meier method was used.
1-Year PFS Probability1 yearPFS was defined as the time from C1D1 to date of first documentation of PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Documentation of progression was by objective disease assessment as defined by the RECIST (version 1.1). PD was defined as a \>=20% increase in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above the smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease in the sum was observed during therapy), with a minimum absolute increase of 5 millimeter (mm); or unequivocal progression of pre-existing lesions for non-target disease; or appearance of new unequivocal malignant lesions. One-year PFS probability was defined as the probability (expressed as percentage) of PFS at 1 year after C1D1. PFS probability was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Trough Plasma Concentration of Letrozolepre-dose of Cycle 1 Days 19, 20, 21 and Cycle 2 Day 1Plasma samples were analyzed for letrozole concentrations using a validated, sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometric (HPLC/MS/MS) method.
Ratio Over Baseline for Skin Biomarker Phosphorylated Retinoblastoma Protein (pRb) ExpressionBaseline (Day -1), lead-in phase Days 1 and 2, Cycle 1 Days 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26The pRb was one of the skin biomarkers and samples were assayed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) method. Ratio over baseline was calculated by dividing the H-score value for pRb at each specified time point by baseline value. The H-score value, which could range from 0 to 300 (strongest expression) with higher score representing stronger expression, was calculated from the total of each individual intensity of staining (0 \[negative\], 1+ \[weak\], 2+ \[moderate\], 3+ \[strong\]) multiplied by the percentages of cells (0 to 100) that represented that staining.
Ratio Over Baseline for Skin Biomarker Ki67 ExpressionBaseline (Day -1), lead-in phase Days 1 and 2, Cycle 1 Days 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26The Ki67 was one of the skin biomarkers and samples were assayed using IHC method. Ratio over baseline was calculated by dividing the percentage of Ki67 positive cells at each specified time point by baseline value.
Ratio Over Baseline for Thymidine Kinase (TK) ConcentrationBaseline (Day -1 pre-dose), lead-in phase Day 1 (4, 8, 10, 24, 72, 120 hours post dose), Cycle 1 Day 21 (4, 8, 10, 24, 72, 96, 120 hours post dose), Cycle 2 Day 1 pre-doseBlood samples were collected to provide serum for the assessments of TK activity. The concentrations of TK were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Ratio of serum TK concentration at each specified time point over baseline value was presented.
