Study of Arimidex and Radiotherapy Sequencing

June 24, 2014 updated by: Jiayi Chen, Fudan University

A Prospective, Randomized, Bi-center Study to Compare the Outcome of Adjuvant Radiotherapy With Concomitant or Sequential Arimidex in Postmenopausal Women With Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare TGF-β1 change in concomitant with that in sequential Arimidex in postmenopausal women with breast cancer, as measured by the proportion of patients with an elevation of TGF-β1 level at the 4th week after initiation of radiotherapy relative to the pre-treatment baseline.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
