ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Women With Serious Adverse Events5 years open-label extension periodPercentage of serious adverse events for women who choose to receive 5 years of exemestane as preventative therapy.
PrimaryInvasive 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.
SecondaryTotal Incidence of Invasive and Non-invasive (DCIS) Breast CancerOver 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.
SecondaryIncidence of Lobular Carcinoma in Situ, Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia and Atypical Lobular Hyperplasia EventsOver randomization period of study (median follow-up 35 months)
SecondaryNumber of Clinical Breast BiopsiesOver randomization period of study (median follow-up 35 months)
SecondaryIncidence of All Clinical FracturesDuring protocol treatment over randomization period of study (up to 5 years)
SecondaryIncidence of Clinically Relevant Cardiac EventsDuring 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
SecondaryIncidences of Other MalignanciesOver randomization period of study (median follow-up 35 months)Other malignancies includes any other malignancy which is not in breast.
