The primary objective is to evaluate whether Zoladex 10.8 mg (12-weekly) is non-inferior to Zoladex 3.6 mg (4-weekly) in pre-menopausal women with oestrogen receptor positive advanced breast cancer by assessment of progression-free survival at 24 weeks. Secondary Objectives are to compare the safety and tolerability profile of ZOLADEX 10.8 mg and ZOLADEX 3.6 mg by assessment of adverse events (AEs)and to assess goserelin PK in Japanese and Caucasian participants who have received ZOLADEX 10.8 mg by assessment of goserelin plasma concentration time profiles Recruitment into the study has been permanently stopped as of 24 December 2007 due to slow recruitment. 98 (vs the planned 260) patients were randomised into the study and will be followed as per protocol for 2 years

Percentage of Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS) at Week 24
The number of participants for whom neither objective disease progression or death (due to any cause) has been observed at Week 24 over the number of randomised participants x 100.
Time frame: Objective tumour assessments carried out every 12 weeks (+/- 7 days) until Week 24, and then every 24 weeks (+/- 14 days) until Week 96 or objective progression is confirmed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST).
Objective Response Rate (ORR) at Week 24
Number of participants who were objective responders at Week 24 over the number of participants evaluable for response x 100. An objective responder = a participants whose best unconfirmed response is either CR (Complete Response Disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (Partial Response At least a 30% decrease in target lesions)
Time frame: Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) tumour assessments carried out every 12 weeks from randomisation until Week 24 in those patients with measurable disease at baseline.
Oestradiol (E2) Serum Concentrations at Week 24
A comparison of mean E2 serum concentrations at timepoint(s) post Day 1 performed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), with treatment group, baseline E2 serum concentrations and country as covariates. Data analysed on the log scale; log scale mean and pooled log scale standard deviation from Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) presented.
Time frame: Blood samples for measurement of E2 concentrations collected from all patients at scheduled visits of screening, Day 1 and Weeks 12 and 24 (+/- 7 days). Week 24 data is presented
Maximum Plasma Concentration, Cmax (ng/mL)
Maximum plasma concentration, Cmax (ng/mL), derived from analysis of pharmacokinetic (PK) outcomes samples provided only by participants in the PK subgroup set (all of whom received ZOLADEX 10.8 mg)
Time frame: Blood samples taken at Days 1, 2 and 3, Weeks 4, 12 and 24. Derived from the individual goserelin plasma concentration-time profiles following the first dose of study drug for patients in the pharmacokinetic (PK) subgroup
Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration, Tmax (Hours)
Time to maximum plasma concentration, Tmax (hours), derived from analysis of pharmacokinetic (PK) outcomes samples provided only by participants in the PK subgroup set (all of whom received ZOLADEX 10.8 mg)
Time frame: Blood samples taken at Days 1, 2 and 3, Weeks 4, 12 and 24. Derived from the individual goserelin plasma concentration-time profiles following the first dose of study drug for patients in the pharmacokinetic (PK) subgroup
Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve (0-12 Weeks)
Area under the plasma concentration curve (0-12 weeks) derived from analysis of pharmacokinetic (PK) outcomes samples provided only by participants in the PK subgroup set (all of whom received ZOLADEX 10.8 mg)
Time frame: Blood samples taken at Days 1, 2 and 3, Weeks 4, 12 and 24. Derived from the individual goserelin plasma concentration-time profiles following the first dose of study drug for patients in the pharmacokinetic (PK) subgroup
