Regimen
- Experimental
- Exemestane 25 mg daily plus OFS (triptorelin/oophorectomy/RT) for 5 years; or tamoxifen 20 mg daily plus OFS for 5 years.
- Control
- Tamoxifen 20 mg daily alone for 5 years.
Population
Premenopausal women with HR+ early breast cancer who remained premenopausal after surgery (and, if given, adjuvant chemotherapy). Stratified by prior chemotherapy use.
Key finding
SOFT established that adding OFS to tamoxifen, or using exemestane plus OFS, improves outcomes over tamoxifen alone in premenopausal HR+ early breast cancer, especially in women at sufficient risk to warrant adjuvant chemotherapy. With TEXT it underpins NCCN BINV-K recommendations for OFS in higher-risk premenopausal disease.
