Trial Outcomes & Findings for Tamoxifen Citrate, Letrozole, Anastrozole, or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Invasive RxPONDER Breast Cancer (NCT NCT01272037)

NCT ID: NCT01272037

Last Updated: 2025-11-10

Results Overview

From date of randomization (2nd Registration) to date of first invasive recurrence (local, regional or distant), second invasive primary cancer (breast or not), or death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive who have not experienced recurrence or second primary cancer are censored at their last contact date. This is the STEEP definition of invasive disease-free survival. Kaplan-Meier estimates were calculated for the 5-year IDFS rate. Due to the results of the third prespecified interim analysis, prespecified separate analyses were conducted for all outcomes by menopausal status (see Statistical Analysis 2). The NCI and data and safety monitoring committee recommended early reporting of the data. After the primary analysis, changes in eligibility status were identified for three participants, making the population of eligible and evaluable participants different between the reporting of this outcome and both the Participant Flow section and the Adverse Events section.

Participant Flow

9383 participants were screened and 5083 were randomized to the trial: 2547 to the Chemo and Endocrine Therapy arm and 2536 to the Endocrine Therapy Alone arm. In the Chemo and Endocrine Therapy Arm, 36 were ineligible. In the Endocrine Therapy Alone arm, 29 were ineligible. Ultimately, 5018 participants were eligible in the participant flow: 2511 in the Chemo and Endocrine Therapy arm and 2507 in the Endocrine Therapy Alone arm.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years after randomization

Population: For the participants flow and baseline characteristics summary, 5018 eligible participants were included. However, among them, there were 34 participants (10 in the chemo and endocrine arm, and 24 in the endocrine alone arm) that withdrew consent immediately after randomization; thus these participants were excluded from the survival analyses.

From date of randomization (2nd Registration) to date of first invasive recurrence (local, regional or distant), second invasive primary cancer (breast or not), or death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive who have not experienced recurrence or second primary cancer are censored at their last contact date. This is the STEEP definition of invasive disease-free survival. Kaplan-Meier estimates were calculated for the 5-year IDFS rate. Due to the results of the third prespecified interim analysis, prespecified separate analyses were conducted for all outcomes by menopausal status (see Statistical Analysis 2). The NCI and data and safety monitoring committee recommended early reporting of the data.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5.5 years after randomization

Time from date of randomization (2nd Registration) to date of invasive distant disease recurrence, second invasive primary cancer (breast or not) or death due to any cause. Participants last known to be alive who have not experienced distant recurrence, or second primary cancer are censored at their last contact date. This secondary outcome requires continuing to follow the patient after local recurrence in order to ascertain subsequent distant recurrence. Invasive recurrence is defined as: appearance of any new invasive lesion(s) during or after protocol treatment. Whenever possible, recurrences should be documented histologically. Invasive recurrence includes local, regional, or distant recurrence with an invasive component. A new diagnosis of ipsilateral or contralateral DCIS without an invasive component is not considered to be a recurrence.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From date of randomization to a maximum of 5.5 years or death

Time from date of randomization (2nd Registration) to date of invasive local or regional recurrence. Participants last known to be alive without recurrence are censored at their last contact date. Participants with distant recurrence, second primary cancer or death are censored at the time of that event. Invasive recurrence is defined as: appearance of any new invasive lesion(s) during or after protocol treatment. Whenever possible, recurrences should be documented histologically. Invasive recurrence includes local, regional, or distant recurrence with an invasive component. A new diagnosis of ipsilateral or contralateral DCIS without an invasive component is not considered to be a recurrence.

Timeframe: 6 months after randomization

Anxiety is evaluated with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Emotional Distress-Anxiety Short Form. Raw PROMIS scores can be re-scaled into T-scores based on a reference population with a mean score of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Higher scores reflect greater anxiety. PROMIS Anxiety scores at the 6 month timepoint will be compared between the two randomized study arms separately by menopausal status.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months after randomization

Assessed using the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D), in which participants rate their health status in five different health-related domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The raw scores can be converted to index scores on a scale of 0 to 1, where a higher index score represents better health. EQ-5D index scores at the 6-month timepoint will be compared between the two randomized study arms separately by menopausal status.

POST_HOC outcome

Timeframe: 5 years after randomization

Population: Eligible and evaluable participants

Time from date of randomization (2nd Registration) to date of invasive distant disease recurrence or death due to any cause. Participants last known to be alive who have not experienced distant recurrence are censored at their last contact date. This outcome requires continuing to follow the patient after local recurrence in order to ascertain subsequent distant recurrence. Kaplan-Meier estimates were calculated for the 5-year DRFS rate. Due to the results of the third prespecified interim analysis, prespecified separate analyses were conducted for all outcomes by menopausal status. The NCI and the data and safety monitoring committee recommended early reporting of the data. Due to subsequent data collection and data cleaning, the population of eligible and evaluable participants differs slightly between the reporting of this outcome and the Participant Flow section.
