Summary
- Opened in Spring 2003
- Target accrual: 6000
Primary Objective
- To determine if anastrozole is effective in preventing breast cancer in postmenopausal women at increased risk of the disease.
Secondary Objectives
- To examine the role of anastrozole in preventing oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer.
- To examine the effect of anastrozole on breast cancer mortality.
- To examine the effect of anastrozole on other cancers, cardiovascular disease, fracture rates, and non-breast cancer deaths.
- To examine tolerability and acceptability of side effects experienced by women on the study.
Scheme
Update
- As of October 2006, 1241 participants have been randomised in the Prevention stratum and 164 international sites are actively recruiting in the trial.

Summary
- Opened in Spring 2003
- Target accrual: 4000
Primary Objectives
- To determine if anastrozole is at least as effective as tamoxifen in local control and prevention of contralateral disease in women with locally excised oestrogen (ER) or progesterone (PgR) positive ductal carcinoma in situ (ER or PgR + ve DCIS).
Secondary Objectives-II
- To compare the effectiveness of tamoxifen and anastrozole according to the receptor status of the primary or recurrent cancer.
- To examine the rate of breast cancer recurrence and new contralateral tumours after cessation of tamoxifen or anastrozole.
- To examine the effect of tamoxifen versus anastrozole on breast cancer mortality.
- To examine the effect of tamoxifen and anastrozole on other cancers, cardiovascular disease, fracture rates, and non-breast cancer deaths.
- To examine tolerability and acceptability of side effects experienced by women on the study.
Scheme
Update
- Opened in Spring 2003. As of October 2006, 776 participants have been randomised in the DCIS stratum and 164 international sites are actively recruiting in the trial.
