BIG 2-97 IES is a randomised double-blind trial in postmenopausal women with primary breast cancer who have received adjuvant tamoxifen for 2-3 years, comparing subsequent adjuvant exemestane treatment with further tamoxifen.

The study found that in postmenopausal women, switching to exemestane after 2-3 years of tamoxifen significantly improves disease-free survival (New England Journal of Medicine 2004) and OS (ASCO 2006).
