7. MA.17R Trial Schema and Design <br />AI x 5 yrs - Following Prior 5 years of AI - preceded or not by Tamoxifen
Presented By Paul Goss at 2016 ASCO Annual Meeting
8. MA.17R Hypothesis and Objectives
Does extending AI therapy from 5 to 10 years further
improve patient outcomes?
Primary Objective:
§ Disease Free Survival (from randomization to recurrence or
development of contralateral breast cancer (CBC), whichever came
first)
Secondary Objectives:
§ Overall Survival
§ All CBC
§ Safety
§ Quality of life

14. Conclusion
§ First study to show benefit of extending AI beyond 5 years
resulting in 34% reduction in disease recurrences
§ No worsening of QOL
§ No new toxicities
§ Bone health remains an important risk/benefit consideration
§ AI are readily accessible around the world

35. Background
§ 10 year mortality is reduced by ~30% with anthracycline and taxane
containing regimen vs. no chemotherapy.
§ 8 year mortality is further reduced by adding a taxane to anthracyclines
(RR=0.86; 95% CI 0.79-0.93).
§ Cardiac mortality increased by ~56% with anthracyclines (RR 1.56,
2p=0.02)
§ Increased risk of acute leukemia with anthracycline regimens (~1/200
patients)
§ Would TC regimen provide similar benefit to anthracycline and taxane
regimen but spare patients long therm cardiac toxicity and risk of AML?
