Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Participants were recruited from 4 research sites in Japan: Hakata (Fukuoka), Kumamoto (Kumamoto), Nagoya (Nagoya), Osaka (Osaka). The study initiation date was October 2007 and the study completion date was January 2010.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
A total of 197 participants were recruited into this study and 98 were randomized to Anastrozole (20 mg once daily oral dose) and 99 were randomized to Tamoxifen (1 mg once daily oral dose) with one subject voluntarily discontinuing prior to receiving treatment Tamoxifen.

Reporting Groups
  Description
Anastrozole 1 mg Anastrozole (investigational product) 1mg tablet given once a day orally and goserelin acetate 3.6 mg/ month depot injection
Tamoxifen 20 mg Tamoxifen (comparator) 20mg tablet given once a day orally and goserelin acetate 3.6 mg/ month depot injection
