Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Objective tumour response
Assessed at 3 months
Change in Ki-67 Levels From Baseline (Pre) to Day 28 (Post) Biopsy Samples
baseline (pre) to day 28 (post)

The primary endpoint is change in Ki-67 levels from baseline (pre) to day 28 (post) biopsy samples. Ki-67 levels were log-transformed to achieve approximately normally distributed data. The differences in these log-transformed values between post vs. pre biopsy samples were calculated. This difference represents the log of the ratio of post vs. pre Ki-67 levels in the original scale.

The efficacy of study treatment will be assessed based on the change from baseline measurements relating to vaginal bleeding, bone age, and growth velocity
12 months or until the subject demonstrates the lack of efficacy bases upon progression of primary endpoints or experiences serious drug-related toxicity requiring withdrawal
Investigation whether anastrozole ODF is bioequivalent with Arimidex tablet.
Blood samples are taken repeatedly for 24 hours and also taken occasionally up to 168 hours after each dose

By assessment of AUC and Cmax of anastrozole after a single oral administration of each anastrozole formulation.

Frequently asked questions about Arimidex

What is Arimidex used for?

Arimidex is used for breast cancer, specifically in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive breast cancer, and for McCune-Albright syndrome. It is also studied for safety and pharmacokinetics. Arimidex is developed by AstraZeneca PLC and is an investigational small molecule in clinical development.

What does Arimidex target?

Arimidex is an aromatase inhibitor, a small molecule that works by blocking the aromatase enzyme, which is involved in estrogen production. By reducing estrogen levels, it helps treat hormone receptor positive breast cancer. This mechanism is relevant to its use in postmenopausal women with breast cancer.

Who makes Arimidex?

Arimidex is developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca is conducting clinical trials to evaluate Arimidex for various indications, including breast cancer and McCune-Albright syndrome.

What phase is Arimidex in?

Arimidex is in Phase 3 clinical development, based on the PROACT trial (NCT00232661) which is a Phase 3 study. It is not FDA approved and remains investigational. Other trials include Phase 2 studies for McCune-Albright syndrome and breast cancer, and a Phase 1 bioequivalence study.

What clinical trials is Arimidex in?

Arimidex has been studied in several clinical trials, including NCT00055302 for McCune-Albright syndrome, NCT00232661 (PROACT) for breast cancer, NCT00570323 for breast cancer with or without Faslodex, and NCT01568281 for safety and pharmacokinetics. All trials are completed, with a total enrollment of 524 participants.

Is Arimidex the same as anastrozole?

Arimidex is a brand name for anastrozole. The bioequivalence study NCT01568281 compared Arimidex tablets to anastrozole ODF in healthy subjects, confirming that Arimidex contains the active ingredient anastrozole. This information helps clarify the relationship between the brand and generic names.
