Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants With Suppressive Effect of Serum Estradiol (E2) to Menopausal Level (=<30 pg/mL) From Week 4 Through Week 48 [Week 4 up to Week 48]

    Comparison of both the treatment groups was done by assessing the suppressive effect on serum E2 concentration maintained at menopausal level (=<30pg/mL). Suppression rate was calculated as proportion of participants maintained at menopausal level.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Concentration of Serum E2 [Baseline, Hour (hr) 1, 3, 6 on Day 1, Day 2, 3, 4, 8, 15, 22, 29, 57, 85, 113, 141, 169, 176, 183, 197, 225, 253, 281, 309, 337, 421, 505, 589 and 673]

    The measure indicates serum E2 concentration at baseline and post-baseline time points.

  2. Concentration of Serum Luteinizing Hormone (LH) [Baseline, Hour 1, 3, 6 on Day 1, Day 2, 3, 4, 8, 15, 22, 29, 57, 85, 113, 141, 169, 176, 183, 197, 225, 253, 281, 309, 337, 421, 505, 589 and 673]

    This measure indicates serum LH concentration at baseline and post-baseline time points. It was measured in milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL).

  3. Concentration of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) [Baseline, Hour 1, 3, 6 on Day 1, Day 2, 3, 4, 8, 15, 22, 29, 57, 85, 113, 141, 169, 176, 183, 197, 225, 253, 281, 309, 337, 421, 505, 589 and 673]

    This measure indicates serum FSH concentration at baseline and post-baseline time points.

  4. Disease Free Survival (DFS) Rate at Week 96 [Week 96]

    DFS is defined as time from randomization to earliest day of onset the events, recurrence [including recurrence in the ipsilateral breast], secondary cancer [including breast cancer in the contralateral breast] and death. DFS at Week 96 was defined as the percentage, calculated with Kaplan-Meier method, of participants did not experience any events at Week 96 since the randomization.

  5. Distant Disease Free Survival (DDFS) Rate at Week 96 [Week 96]

    DDFS is defined as time from randomization to earliest day of onset the events, distant recurrence, secondary cancer [including breast cancer in the contralateral breast] and death. DDFS at week 96 was defined as the percentage calculated with Kaplan-Meier method, of participants did not experience any events at week 96 since the randomization.

  6. Serum Unchanged TAP-144 Level [Baseline, Hour 1, 3, 6 on Day 1, Day 2, 3, 4, 8, 15, 22, 29, 57, 85, 113, 141, 169, 176, 183, 197, 225, 253, 281, 309 and 337]

    This measure indicates the unchanged TAP-144 level in serum.

  7. QT Interval Measured by 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) [Baseline, Hour 1, 3, 6 on Day 1, Day 29, 85, 169 and 337]

    12-lead electrocardiography measurement was performed in supine position after 5 minutes at rest. Each measurement was recorded continuously for 10 seconds at the recording speed of 25 millimeter/second (mm/second).

Inclusion Criteria:
  1. The participant has histopathologically-confirmed primary breast cancer in Japanese.

  3. The participant has estrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumor cells and/or progesterone receptor (PgR)-positive primary tumor. And HER-2 is negative.

  4. The participant has breast cancer in the clinical stages of T1-T3, N-any and M0 by TNM classification (the seventh edition, proposed by UICC in 2009). (No distant metastasis to lung, liver and bone should be confirmed on the image-based diagnosis at study enrollment. The image taken within 12 weeks prior to study enrollment is also available for the diagnosis.) The number of axillary lymph node metastasis is not limited.

  5. Any operative procedure for breast cancer is acceptable. In principle, after breast-conserving surgery, the participant will receive postoperative radiation to the conserving breast.

The participant has a history of regular menstrual periods within 12 weeks prior to study enrollment, or the participant has FSH of less than 40 mIU/mL and E2 of 10 pg/mL or more measured within 12 weeks prior to study enrollment. The participant has not had a chemical menopause (i.e., FSH of less than 40 mIU/mL and E2 of 10 pg/mL or more) within 12 weeks after completing adjuvant chemotherapy.

  8. The participant is in a condition to receive study drug and Tamoxifen (TAM) within 12 weeks after surgery or after adjuvant chemotherapy prior to study enrollment. Adjuvant chemotherapy prior to study is required to have been completed at the time of study enrollment.

  9. The participant has ECOG performance status of grades 0 or 1 at the time of study enrollment.

  10. The participant meets the following criteria of hepatic, renal and bone marrow functions on the laboratory test results at screening:

  • Hepatic function: AST (GOT) ≤ 3.0 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) ALT (GPT) ≤ 3.0 times the ULN

  • Renal function: serum creatinine level < 1.5 times the ULN

  • Bone marrow function : white blood cell count ≥ 3,000/mm3 platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL hemoglobin ≥ 10.0g/dL

  1. The participant agrees to use a non-hormonal method of contraception through the study period.
Exclusion Criteria:
  1. The participant has received neoadjuvant or adjuvant hormonal therapy for the latest breast cancer surgery.

  2. The participant has received bilateral oophorectomy and bilateral ovarian irradiation.

  3. The participant has inflammatory breast cancer or bilateral breast cancer.

  4. The participant has non-invasive ductal carcinoma.

  5. The participant has multiple primary cancers, or a history of carcinoma in other organs.

  6. The participant is pregnant or breast-feeding.

  7. The participant has a history of hypersensitivity to synthetic LH-RH, LH-RH derivative, TAM, TAM analogue (antiestrogen) or any component of the study drug.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With Suppressive Effect of Serum Estradiol (E2) to Menopausal Level (=<30 pg/mL) From Week 4 Through Week 48
Description Comparison of both the treatment groups was done by assessing the suppressive effect on serum E2 concentration maintained at menopausal level (=<30pg/mL). Suppression rate was calculated as proportion of participants maintained at menopausal level.
Time Frame Week 4 up to Week 48

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized participants who had received at least a single dose of study treatment.
Arm/Group Title TAP-144-SR (6M) TAP-144-SR (3M)

Adverse Events

Time Frame Treatment-emergent adverse events are adverse events that started after the first dose of double-blind study drug.
Adverse Event Reporting Description At each visit the investigator had to document any occurrence of adverse events and abnormal laboratory findings. Any event spontaneously reported by the participant or observed by the investigator was recorded, irrespective of the relation to study treatment.
