摘要: PURPOSE: To evaluate the antitumor activity and toxicity of a new steroidal aromatase inactivator, exemestane, in postmenopausal women with metastatic breast cancer who had progressive disease (PD) after treatment nonsteroidal inhibitor. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this phase II trial, eligible patients were treated exemestane 25 mg daily (n = 241) followed, at time PD was determined, by 100 58). RESULTS: On basis intent-to-treat analysis independent review, produced objective responses 6.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.8% to 10.6%) overall success (complete response + partial no change for 24 weeks or longer) 24.3% CI, 19.0% 30.2%). The median durations 58.4 49.7 71.1 weeks) 37.0 35.0 39.4 weeks), respectively. Increasing dose upon development one par...
