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.

- Fulvestrant will be administered by intramuscular injection on day 1, day 15 and day 29
and then every 28 days thereafter.

- Participants will have a physical examination and blood work performed on each treatment
date. After teh study treatment has been completed, the physical examinations will be
done every three months for the first 2 years, every 6 months for years 2-5, and
annually after 5 years.

- Participants may remain on study treatment until disease progression or until they
experience serious side effects.

Inclusion Criteria:

metastatic disease that is not considered amenable to curative treatment
