A Phase II Multi-Center Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of 500mg of Fulvestrant (Faslodex) as a First Line Hormonal Treatment in Postmenopausal Women With Hormone Receptor Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer
Fulvestrant has proven effective in the treatment of hormone receptor positive metastatic
breast cancer. The dose used in studies so far has been well tolerated and may be too low for
optimal effectiveness. In this study, a higher dose will be used to see whether an improved
outcome will result.
