Study population: The patient population will include postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor positive primary breast cancer receiving adjuvant endocrine treatment with anastrozole upfront or following two to three years of tamoxifen therapy ("switch") according to the current SmPC (Appendix C). Patients will have received anastrozole treatment for at least 3 months and up to 6 months before the start of the study.
Who may be able to join
- Postmenopausal women aged 18 years or older; Postmenopause is defined as Natural menopause with menses >1 year ago or Serum FSH (> 20 IU/ l), and E2 levels in the postmenopausal range or patients who had bilateral oophorectomy
- Histologically / cytologically confirmed primary diagnosis of early breast cancer (M0) with hormone sensitive tumour (ER+ve and/or PgR+ve)
- Patients, who underwent breast cancer surgery and, if appl. radiation therapy and/or neo/adjuvant chemotherapy and have taken adjuvant endocrine treatment with anastrozole (upfront or following two to three years of tamoxifen) min 3 max 6 months
- In case of a previous therapy with tamoxifen (switch-therapy), duration of tamoxifen treatment for at least two and up to three years.
Who cannot join
- Patients with severe renal function disorders (Creatinine clearance < 20 ml/min or Patients with moderate or severe disorders of hepatic function
- Concomitant treatment with drugs known to affect sex hormonal status and tamoxifen
- Patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) without primary diagnosis of early breast cancer (M0)

About this study
Official title: Arimidex: Compliance and Arthralgias in Clinical Therapy (COMPACT): An in Practice Assessment of Arthralgias and Related Costs as Well as Compliance in the First Year of Anastrozole Therapy
Patients are eligible for inclusion in this NIS if they have taken anastrozole either upfront or following two to three years of tamoxifen treatment ("switch") for at least three and not more than six months prior to offering an individual participation in this program. Treatment should follow local therapy guidelines and standard practice. Treatment decisions for patients participating in this study including assessments or supportive therapy during follow-up visits will also follow guidelines and remain independent of the program.
Read the detailed description
The patient population will include postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor positive primary breast cancer scheduled for adjuvant upfront endocrine treatment with anastrozole or following two to three years of tamoxifen treatment ("switch") according to the current SmPC (Appendix C). Patients will have taken anastrozole for at least three months and not more than six months before the start of the study.

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 383 sites in Germany.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 383 sites in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Assessment of arthralgia scores and patients' compliance within the first year of anastrozole treatment, stratified by upfront and switch therapy as well as assessment of the relationship between compliance and arthralgia scores. (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00857012, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Nov 2012.
