Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
in window of time between diagnosis and surgery, post-menopausal women with ER positive breast cancer will be treated with an aromatase inhibitor alone, letrozole 2.5mg daily oral tablet, or with aspirin 200mg twice daily, oral tablet, in an anti inflammatory dose. Adherence will be monitored by twice weekly nurse review, and blood estradiol levels.

Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
control is aromatase inhibitor alone.
study arm is aromatase inhibitor plus aspirin
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 292047 0
change in biological markers, including inflammation and proliferation, over 14 days of treatment. Pre- and post treatment tumour samples will be compared, and studied by immunohistochemistry for immune cell subsets, inflammatory cells, and tumour cell Ki67. Gene expression profiling using the same tumour samples will also be studied at a later stage.
Timepoint [1] 292047 0
14 days, or day of surgery if this is sooner.
Secondary outcome [1] 308071 0
safety of aspirin over 14 days, including peri-operatively, by twice weekly nurse assessment before and after surgery, using standard toxicity grading, recorded on CRF for specific side effects of interest.
Timepoint [1] 308071 0
During 14 days of treatment, on day of surgery and at 4-6 weeks
