Study hypothesis
|
Primary hypotheses:
1. To determine if anastrozole is at least as effective as tamoxifen in local control and prevention of contralateral disease in women with locally excised Estrogen Receptor (ER) or Progesterone Receptor (PgR) positive DCIS.
2. To compare side effect profiles of tamoxifen and anastrozole.
Secondary hypotheses:
1. To compare the effectiveness of tamoxifen and anastrozole according to the receptor status of the primary or recurrent cancer.
2. To examine the rate of breast cancer occurrence after cessation of tamoxifen or anastrozole.
3. To examine the effect of tamoxifen versus anastrozole on breast cancer mortality.
4. To examine the effect of tamoxifen and anastrozole on other cancers, cardiovascular disease, fracture rates, and non-breast cancer deaths.
5. To examine tolerability and acceptability of side effects experienced by women on the study.
Please note as of 08/02/2011 the anticipated end date has been extended from 01/12/2008 to 31/12/2011.
As of 23/02/2012, the following changes were made on the record.
Chile and sweden were added to countries of recruitment and Peru, Portugal, Denmark and Finland were deleted.
Anticipated end date was updated from 31/12/2011 to 31/01/2022.
Patient recruitment completed on 31/01/2012 was added.

Participants - inclusion criteria
|
Current inclusion criteria as of 23/02/2012
1. All women must be postmenopausal and between the ages of 40 to 70. Postmenopausal status is defined as meeting one or more of the following criteria:
a. Over the age of 60
b. Bilateral oophorectomy
c. Aged 60 or under with a uterus and amenorrhoea for at least 12 months
d. Aged 60 or under without a uterus and with Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) more than 30 IU/L
2. Women with locally excised Oestrogen Receptor (ER) positive DCIS excised within 6 months (ER or PR status must be greater than or equal to 5% positive cells)
3. A baseline bone mineral density scan within the last two years (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry [DXA] either of hip, lumbar spine, forearm) and spinal X-ray will be required for all women
4. A fully informed signed consent form must have been obtained
5. Women who have had Lobular carcinoma in situ.
6. Women who have had Atypical hyperplasia in a benign lesion.
7. A bilateral mammogram must have been taken within the last year.
8. Women must be accessible for treatment and follow up. Participants randomised in this trial must be treated and followed via a participating institution.

Interventions
|
IBIS-II DCIS is a randomised double blind study investigating the use of anastrozole versus tamoxifen in women who have had a recent hormone receptor positive, locally excised DCIS lesion. There are two treatment groups:

Group B. tamoxifen placebo and anastrozole 1 mg
Each patient will take the two tablets once a day for the next five years.
