Conclusions • It is the first phase III study to confirm endocrine treatment options post-non-steroidal AI • Similar efficacy seen on both treatment arms • No differences were seen in reported AEs between fulvestrant and exemestane • Confirmed efficacy of fulvestrant in patients who have progressed on a NSAI BUT NOT SUPERIORITY to Exemestane
