Exemestane is an aromatase inhibitor used in the treatment of breast cancer. A selective stability-indicating reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method has been developed which can separate and accurately quantitate low levels of exemestane. The stability-indicating capability of the method was demonstrated by adequate separation of exemestane and all the degradatio...
Clinical and endocrinological effects of exemestane (6-methylenandrosta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione; PNU 155971) were evaluated in an open Phase I study. Thirteen postmenopausal women suffering from advanced breast cancer received exemestane in escalating doses over a 12-week period. Starting on 5 mg once daily (o.d.), exemestane was subsequently escalated at 2-week intervals to 10, 25, 50, 100, and 2...
PURPOSE To optimize treatment strategies for postmenopausal breast cancer patients, we investigated the efficacy of the steroidal aromatase inhibitor exemestane alone or in combination with the antiestrogen tamoxifen in a xenograft model of postmenopausal breast cancer. We also determined the effects of these agents in sequential second-line therapy and the effect of the nonsteroidal aromatase ...
BACKGROUND Women with hormone-responsive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) may respond to or have stable disease with a number of hormone therapies. We explored the efficacy and safety of the steroidal aromatase inactivator exemestane as first-line hormonal therapy in MBC in postmenopausal women. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with measurable disease were eligible if they had received no prior ho...
Exemestane, a steroidal aromatase inhibitor, is licensed for postmenopausal patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer as second-line therapy in metastatic disease following antiestrogen failure and as part of sequential adjuvant therapy following initial tamoxifen. This study is a systematic literature review, evaluating exemestane in different clinical settings. The Ovid Medl...
A novel, rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the evaluation of exemestane pharmacokinetics and its metabolites, 17β-dihydroexemestane (active metabolite) and 17β-dihydroexemestane-17-O-β-D-glucuronide (inactive metabolite) in human plasma. Their respective D3 isotopes were used as internal standards. Chromatograph...
PURPOSE In some specific circumstances, combined hormonal therapies for breast cancer seem to be more effective than single maneuvers. In two laboratory mammary cancer models, the combination of the aromatase inactivator exemestane plus tamoxifen gives a higher response rate than is found with either agent alone. To evaluate the endocrine effects of the combination of exemestane and tamoxifen, ...
Exemestane is an irreversible inhibitor of the aromatase enzyme, which is a key component in the production of estrogen. The majority of breast cancers are sensitive to the proliferative effects of estrogen. Exemestane is approved for the adjuvant treatment of postmenopausal women with breast cancer after 2 to 3 years of tamoxifen therapy, based on a 32% improvement in disease-free survival com...
BACKGROUND Breast Cancer Trials of Oral Everolimus 2 (BOLERO-2), a phase III study in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer progressing despite nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor therapy, showed statistically significant benefits with adding everolimus to exemestane. Moreover, in preclinical studies, mammalian target of rapamycin inhibition was associated with decreas...
Using Western blot as the major technique, we studied the effects of the three Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved aromatase inhibitors (AI) on aromatase protein stability in the aromatase-overexpressing breast cancer cell line MCF-7aro. We have found that exemestane treatment significantly reduces aromatase protein level. Exemestane induces aromatase degradation in a dose-responsive ma...
