  3. Study DesignSTAR Risk-Eligible Postmenopausal Women • STRATIFICATION • Age • Gail Model Risk • Race • History of LCIS • Hysterectomy Tamoxifen 20 mg/day x 5 years Raloxifene 60 mg/day x 5 years

  4. Inclusion and Exclusion CriteriaSTAR • Inclusion • At least 35 years of age • Postmenopausal • Risk eligible Lobular carcinoma in situ or 5-year Gail risk of breast cancer >1.66% • Exclusion History of: • Invasive breast cancer • Ductal carcinoma in situ • DVT, PE • CVA, TIA • Uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension or atrial fibrillation

  5. Primary AimsSTAR • The primary aim of the study was to determine which of the following three statements is true: • Compared to tamoxifen, raloxifene significantly reduces the incidence rate of IBC • Compared to raloxifene, tamoxifen significantly reduces the incidence rate of IBC • The statistical superiority of one of the treatments cannot be demonstrated and the choice of therapy should be based on benefit/risk considerations

  6. Primary ObjectiveSTAR • Evaluate the effect of raloxifene versus tamoxifen in reducing the incidence of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women who are at increased risk.

  7. Secondary Objectives STAR • Non-invasive breast cancer • Endometrial cancer • Ischemic heart disease • Fractures of the hip, spine or wrist • Toxicity and side effects

  8. Screening, Accrual and Follow-upSTAR • Screened 184,460 • Eligible 96,368 • Randomized 19,747 • Woman-years of follow-up 79,173 • Average follow-up (years) 4.06

  9. Baseline CharacteristicsSTAR • Age (mean) 58.5 • Caucasian 93% • Hysterectomy 51% • First degree relative(s)with breast cancer 71% • History of • Lobular carcinoma in situ 9% • Atypical hyperplasia 23% • 5-year predicted Gail risk ofinvasive breast cancer (mean) 4.03%

  10. Effects on Invasive Breast Cancer STAR RR (95% CI) = 1.02 (0.82, 1.27)

  24. Summary STAR • Compared with tamoxifen, raloxifene was: • similar in decreasing the risk of invasive breast cancer • not as effective at decreasing the risk of non-invasive breast cancer • associated with fewer: • adverse events related to uterus • VTEs • cataracts and cataract surgery
