Registered outcomes8
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Percentage of Women With Serious Adverse Events | 5 years open-label extension period | Percentage of serious adverse events for women who choose to receive 5 years of exemestane as preventative therapy. |
| Primary | Invasive Breast Cancer Incidence (Breast Cancer-Free Survival) | Over randomization period of study (median follow-up 35 months) | Invasive breast cancer incidence was estimated from the breast cancer-free survival (BCFS) which was calculated for all women from the day of the randomization to the earliest date of diagnosis for invasive breast cancer. Women who died from other causes were censored at the time of death. If a woman did not develop an invasive breast cancer, or died, BCFS was censored on the date of the last day the woman was known alive (LKA), which was the latest of the date of assessment. Women who had breast cancer before study entry were also censored at the time of randomization. |
| Secondary | Total Incidence of Invasive and Non-invasive (DCIS) Breast Cancer | Over randomization period of study (median follow-up 35 months) | It was estimated from the Total Breast Cancer-Free Survival (TBCFS), which was calculated for women who developed invasive or non-invasive (DCIS) breast cancer as the time from the date of randomization to the earliest date of diagnosis for invasive or non-invasive (DCIS) breast cancer. Women who died from other causes were censored at the time of death. Women who had breast cancer before entry were censored at the time of randomization. If a woman did not develop an invasive or non-invasive (DCIS) breast cancer, or died, TBCFS will be censored on the date of last known alive. |
| Secondary | Incidence of Lobular Carcinoma in Situ, Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia and Atypical Lobular Hyperplasia Events | Over randomization period of study (median follow-up 35 months) | |
| Secondary | Number of Clinical Breast Biopsies | Over randomization period of study (median follow-up 35 months) | |
| Secondary | Incidence of All Clinical Fractures | During protocol treatment over randomization period of study (up to 5 years) | |
| Secondary | Incidence of Clinically Relevant Cardiac Events | During protocol treatment in randomization period (up to 5 years) | Events including myocardial infarctions and angina requiring percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or coronary artery bypass graft, fatal and nonfatal strokes and all vascular deaths |
| Secondary | Incidences of Other Malignancies | Over randomization period of study (median follow-up 35 months) | Other malignancies includes any other malignancy which is not in breast. |
