Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Progression Free Survival (PFS) Distribution for Exemestane Plus Dasatinib vs Exemestane Plus Placebo [ Time Frame: Prior to study therapy, at 8 week intervals until progression occurs (maximum participant PFS of 71 weeks) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    PFS= The time (weeks) from date of randomization to date of progressive disease(PD). PFS for each randomization arm was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method. A point estimate and a 95% confidence interval (CI) for the median PFS was computed for each randomization arm using the Brookmeyer & Crowley method. PD=Increase (≥ 20%) in sum of longest diameters from smallest value during study (including baseline).

  • Participants With Disease Progression or Death for Exemestane Plus Dasatinib vs Exemestane Plus Placebo [ Time Frame: Prior to study therapy, at 8 week intervals until progression occurs. Maximum participant PFS of ____ months) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    PD is an increase (≥ 20%) in sum of longest diameters from smallest value during study (including baseline).


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Participants With Best Overall Response [ Time Frame: at 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Complete response (CR) = Disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable lesions, and no new lesions; Partial response (PR) = Decrease ≥30% from baseline in sum of longest diameters (LD) of all measurable lesions, with neither appearance of new lesions nor unequivocal progression of non-measurable lesions. SD = Disease re-assessment not qualifying as CR, PR or PD(≥20% increase in sum of longest diameters from smallest value).

  • Percentage of Participants With Clinical Benefit (CB) for Exemestane Plus Dasatinib Arm vs Exemestane Plus Placebo Arm at 6 Months [ Time Frame: at 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    CB = participants whose best response is CR, PR, or stable disease(SD). CR = Disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable lesions, and no new lesions; PR = Decrease ≥30% from baseline in sum of longest diameters of all measurable lesions, with neither appearance of new lesions nor unequivocal progression of non-measurable lesions. SD = Disease re-assessment not qualifying as CR, PR or PD(≥20% increase in sum of longest diameters from smallest value). Confidence interval computed by Clopper-Pearson method.

  • Percentage of Participants With Response in Exemestane Plus Dasatinib Arm and Exemestane Plus Placebo Arms [ Time Frame: Prior to study therapy, at 8 week intervals until progression occurs (maximum participant response was 39 weeks) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Response= Proportion of response-evaluable participants whose best response is CR or PR. Confidence intervals was computed using the Clopper-Pearson method. CR = Disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable lesions, and no new lesions; PR = Decrease ≥30% from baseline in sum of longest diameters of all measurable lesions, with neither appearance of new lesions nor unequivocal progression of non-measurable lesions.

  • Participants With Freedom-From-Progression (FFP) at 6 Months [ Time Frame: at 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    FFP at month 6 is defined for the randomized participants who had the probability of neither progressing nor dying before 6 months.

  • Time to Response for Exemestane Plus Dasatinib Arm and Exemestane Plus Placebo Arms [ Time Frame: Prior to study therapy, at 8 week intervals until CR or PR. Participants will remain on study (ie, last visit) until disease progression or 30 days after the last dose of study drug, whichever is longer ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Time to response is defined as time from first dose of study therapy until measurement criteria are first met for PR or CR (whichever is recorded first). CR = Disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable lesions, and no new lesions; PR = Decrease ≥30% from baseline in sum of longest diameters of all measurable lesions, with neither appearance of new lesions nor unequivocal progression of non-measurable lesions.

  • Duration of Response for Exemestane Plus Dasatinib Arm and Exemestane Plus Placebo Arms [ Time Frame: Prior to study therapy, at 8 week intervals. Participants will remain on study (ie, last visit) until disease progression or 30 days after the last dose of study drug, whichever is longer. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Duration of response is defined as the time from date that measurement criteria are first met for PR or CR until first date of documented PD or death. CR = Disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable lesions, and no new lesions; PR = Decrease ≥30% from baseline in sum of longest diameters of all measurable lesions, with neither appearance of new lesions nor unequivocal progression of non-measurable lesions. PD=Increase (≥ 20%) in sum of longest diameters from smallest value during study (including baseline).

  • Changes in Participant-reported Pain Intensity in Participants With Bone Metastasis [ Time Frame: Start of study, at treatment start, after 2, 4, and 8 weeks of therapy and every 8 weeks thereafter, at end-of-treatment. Participants will remain on study (ie, last visit) until disease progression or 30 days after the last dose of study drug. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Pain intensity evaluated by administration of the Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-sf). The BPI-sf is a psychometrically-validated instrument which measures both pain severity and functional interference caused by pain using an 11-point numerical rating scale. Severity of pain at its "worst", "least" and "on average" in the last 24 hours, and "right now" (ie, at the time the questionnaire is being filled out) is recorded using anchors of "no pain" = "0" and "pain as bad as you can imagine" = "10".
