Brief Summary

Women with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who are hormone receptor positive are candidates for first line hormonal therapy including aromatase inhibitors. In the past few years new combination therapies became available as fulvastrant or palbociclib with letrezole; increasing the progression free survival (PFS). A retrospective study showed that combination of capecitabine with aromatase inhibitors increase PFS as 1st and 2nd line line treatment another prospective study showed the same results. The aim of our study is confirm such data by a randomized controlled trial.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progress-free survival

    Time from randomization to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause or Intolerable toxicity.

    up to 24 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Adverse events

    till progression or up to 24 months whichever earlier

Study Arms (2)

A.I. + Capeciabine

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive Capecitabine 625 mg/m2 bid PO for 14 days to be repeated every 21 days until progression in combination with aromatase inhibitor if postmenopausal, addition of LHRH agonist will be added if premenopausal.

Drug: Capecitabine plus aromatase inhibitor

A.I

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will receive aromatase inhibitors ( letrozole 2.5 mg PO per day or Anastrozole 1 mg PO per day or aromasin 25 mg PO per day) if post-menopausal, if premenopausal leutnising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist will be added to the aromatase inhibitor.

Drug: A.I.

Interventions

Capecitabine 625 mg/m2 bid PO for 14 days to be repeated every 21 days until progression in combination with aromatase inhibitor if postmenopausal, addition of LHRH agonist will be added if premenopausal.

A.I. + Capeciabine
A.I.DRUG

aromatase inhibitors ( letrozole 2.5 mg PO per day or Anastrozole 1 mg PO per day or aromasin 25 mg PO per day) if post-menopausal, if premenopausal leutnising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist will be added to the aromatase inhibitor
