Pfizer Inc. (PFE) announced results from an exploratory analysis of the Intergroup Exemestane Study at a median follow-up of 91 months in estrogen-receptor positive or estrogen-receptor unknown women that looked at breast cancer free survival and censored deaths that occurred prior to breast cancer relapse.
The company stated that the data showed that women who switched to Aromasin after 2.5 years of tamoxifen experienced a 19% reduction in risk of breast cancer recurrence compared to women who continued on tamoxifen for a full five years of treatment.
The company said, results from the Tamoxifen, Exemestane, Adjuvant, Multicenter study did not show a difference in disease free survival in women who took Aromasin for five years compared to those who switched from tamoxifen to Aromasin after two to three years.
The company noted that the data from Intergroup Exemestane Study and Tamoxifen, Exemestane, Adjuvant, Multicenter study continue to underscore the benefits of Aromasin for postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor positive/unknown early breast cancer.
