Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Learning about the effect of exemestane and anastrozole on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with primary breast cancer may help plan treatment, decrease the risk of broken bones, and help patients live more comfortably. PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with primary breast cancer who are receiving treatment on clinical trial CAN-NCIC-MA27.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage change of bone mineral density (BMD) measured at 2 years (from baseline) in the L1-L4 region of the spine and the hip

    5 years

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Percentage change in BMD at 5 years (from baseline)

    5 years

  • Mean percentage change in BMD at 1, 3, and 5 years (from baseline)

    5 years

  • Proportion of patients without osteopenia or osteoporosis (stratum I) who develop BMD below the absolute threshold for osteopenia (< -2.0 standard deviation below the mean), suffer any osteoporotic fracture, or have an asymptomatic fracture revealed ...

    5 years

  • Percentage of patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis (stratum II) who have ≥ 5% improvement of BMD at 2 years post randomization on protocol CAN-NCIC-MA27 and who have clinically apparent osteoporosis-related fracture of the long bones

    5 years

  • Pattern of change in bone biomarkers from baseline

    5 years

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
