BACKGROUND: Letrozole (CGS 20267), a triazole derivative, is a new, once-daily, oral nonsteroidal inhibitor of aromatase activity.
METHODS: In this Phase I trial, 23 heavily pretreated postmenopausal patients with metastatic breast cancer received letrozole at doses ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 mg once daily.
RESULTS: No hematologic, biochemical, or significant clinical toxicity was encountered. Serial steroid measurements were determined in 19 of these patients. Letrozole at all doses tested produced a marked suppression of plasma estrone, estradiol, estrone sulfate, and urine estrone and estradiol. This was observed within 24 hours of the initial dose of letrozole and resulted in a greater than 90% suppression of plasma and urinary estrogen levels within 2 weeks. Letrozole appears to be highly selective in its action and does not compromise glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid production or thyroid function. Of the 21 evaluable patients, there were 2 with partial responses and 7 with stable disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Letrozole is a well tolerated, potent, and specific inhibitor of estrogen biosynthesis in postmenopausal patients with metastatic breast cancer.
