Extended adjuvant aromatase inhibition after sequential endocrine therapy in postmenopausal women with breast cancer : follow-up analysis of the randomised phase 3 DATA trial

© 2023 The Authors..

Background: The DATA study evaluated the use of two different durations of anastrozole in patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who were disease-free after 2-3 years of tamoxifen. We hereby present the follow-up analysis, which was performed after all patients reached a minimum follow-up of 10 years beyond treatment divergence.

Methods: The open-label, randomised, phase 3 DATA study was performed in 79 hospitals in the Netherlands (ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00301457). Postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who were disease-free after 2-3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen treatment were assigned to either 3 or 6 years of anastrozole (1 mg orally once a day). Randomisation (1:1) was stratified by hormone receptor status, nodal status, HER2 status, and prior tamoxifen duration. The primary outcome was adapted disease-free survival, defined as disease-free survival from 3 years after randomisation onwards. Adapted overall survival was assessed as a secondary outcome. Analyses were performed according to the intention-to-treat design.

Findings: Between June 28, 2006, and August 10, 2009, 1912 patients were randomly assigned to 3 years (n = 955) or 6 years (n = 957) of anastrozole. Of these, 1660 patients were eligible and disease-free at 3 years after randomisation. The 10-year adapted disease-free survival was 69.2% (95% CI 55.8-72.3) in the 6-year group (n = 827) and 66.0% (95% CI 62.5-69.2) in the 3-year group (n = 833) (hazard ratio (HR) 0.86; 95% CI 0.72-1.01; p = 0.073). The 10-year adapted overall survival was 80.9% (95% CI 77.9-83.5) in the 6-year group and 79.2% (95% CI 76.2-81.9) in the 3-year group (HR 0.93; 95% CI 0.75-1.16; p = 0.53).

Interpretation: Extended aromatase inhibition beyond 5 years of sequential endocrine therapy did not improve the adapted disease-free survival and adapted overall survival of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
