Maximum Eligible Age: | 80 Years |
Minimum Eligible Age: | 18 Years |
Eligible Gender: | Female |
Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Clinical response rate |
Time Frame: | 24week(after completing medication, preoperatively) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Comparing with RECIST 1.1 From baseline to 24week(after completing medication, preoperatively) |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Pathologic complete response rate |
Time Frame: | Postoperation(within 26weeks after starting medication) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | In case that under postoperative biopsy, residual breast cancer cell is not present in primary lesion and lymph node. |
Measure: | Changes of Ki67(%) |
Time Frame: | Baseline-4week(second core needle biopsy) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | IHC is performed for formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue at the central laboratory. Ki67 is recorded as % and percentage reduction of baseline and Ki67 expressed cell on day28 are compared. |
Measure: | Breast conservation rate |
Time Frame: | Baseline-postoperation(within 26weeks after starting medication) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Before pre-operative anti hormone therapy, the patients are classified into following three types
Candidate for BCS
Marginal for breast conservation surgery
Candidate for mastectomy only
Inoperable by standard mastectomy Classification of each type shall be determined by each researcher of each institution subjectively. For future separate objective analysis, central institution will collect image file of mammography of each patient.
Type of operation being actually performed in each type is compared. (BCS vs mastectomy) |
Measure: | Breast density change |
Time Frame: | Baseline-24week(after completing medication, preoperatively) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Percent mammographic density (%) of cranial-caudal view of opposite breast is measured/compared based on continued variable by using validated computer-assisted thresholding program called Cumulus software (University Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada). |
Measure: | Toxicity profile of letrozole and metformin |
Time Frame: | throughout the study |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | based on NCI-CTCAE version 4.0 |
