Five-year data of the phase III trial TAM-01 showed that low-dose tamoxifen at 5 mg once daily administered for 3 years in women with intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN) reduced by 52% the recurrence of invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), without additional adverse events over placebo. Here, we present the 10-year results.
We randomly assigned 500 women with breast IEN (atypical ductal hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ [LCIS], or hormone-sensitive or unknown DCIS) to low-dose tamoxifen or placebo after surgery with or without irradiation. The primary end point was the incidence of invasive breast cancer or DCIS.
The TAM-01 population included 500 women (20% atypical ductal hyperplasia, 11% LCIS, and 69% DCIS). The mean (±SD) age at the start of treatment was 54 ± 9 years, and 58% of participants were postmenopausal. After a median follow-up of 9.7 years (IQR, 8.3-10.9 years), 66 breast cancers (15 in situ; 51 invasive) were diagnosed: 25 in the tamoxifen group and 41 in the placebo group (annual rate per 1,000 person-years, 11.3 with tamoxifen 19.5 with placebo; hazard ratio [HR], 0.58; 95% CI, 0.35 to 0.95; log-rank = .03). Most recurrences were invasive (77%) and ipsilateral (59%). Regarding contralateral breast cancer incidence, there were six events in the tamoxifen arm and 16 in the placebo arm (HR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.92; = .025). The number needed to be treated to prevent one case of breast event with tamoxifen therapy was 22 in 5 years and 14 in 10 years. The benefit was seen across all patient subgroups. There was a significant 50% reduction of recurrence with tamoxifen in the DCIS cohort, which represents 70% of the overall population (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.28 to 0.91; = .02). No between-group difference in the incidence of serious adverse events was reported during the prolonged follow-up period.
Tamoxifen 5 mg once daily for 3 years significantly prevents recurrence from noninvasive breast cancer after 7 years from treatment cessation without long-term adverse events.
III 期 TAM-01 试验的 5 年数据显示,对于患有上皮内瘤变(IEN)的女性,每天服用低剂量他莫昔芬 5 毫克,持续 3 年,可使浸润性乳腺癌或导管原位癌(DCIS)的复发率降低 52%,且无安慰剂组的其他不良事件。在此,我们报告了 10 年的结果。
我们随机分配了 500 名接受过手术(伴或不伴放疗)的患有乳腺 IEN(非典型导管增生、小叶原位癌[LCIS]或激素敏感或未知的 DCIS)的女性,接受低剂量他莫昔芬或安慰剂治疗。主要终点是浸润性乳腺癌或 DCIS 的发生率。
TAM-01 人群包括 500 名女性(20%非典型导管增生、11%LCIS 和 69%DCIS)。治疗开始时的平均(±SD)年龄为 54±9 岁,58%的参与者处于绝经后状态。中位随访 9.7 年(IQR,8.3-10.9 年)后,诊断出 66 例乳腺癌(原位癌 15 例;浸润性癌 51 例):他莫昔芬组 25 例,安慰剂组 41 例(每 1000 人年的年发生率,他莫昔芬组为 11.3,安慰剂组为 19.5;风险比[HR],0.58;95%CI,0.35 至 0.95;对数秩检验=0.03)。大多数复发为浸润性(77%)和同侧(59%)。关于对侧乳腺癌的发生率,他莫昔芬组有 6 例,安慰剂组有 16 例(HR,0.36;95%CI,0.14 至 0.92;=0.025)。用他莫昔芬治疗预防 1 例乳腺癌事件需要治疗的人数在 5 年内为 22 例,在 10 年内为 14 例。这种益处存在于所有患者亚组中。在 DCIS 队列中,他莫昔芬可使复发率降低 50%,占总人群的 70%(HR,0.50;95%CI,0.28 至 0.91;=0.02)。在延长的随访期间,未报告组间严重不良事件发生率的差异。
每天服用低剂量他莫昔芬 5 毫克,持续 3 年,可显著预防停止治疗 7 年后非浸润性乳腺癌的复发,且无长期不良事件。
