Number of Participants With Clinical Benefit (CBR) and Number of Participants With CBR Having a Disease Free Interval (DFI) Greater Than 2 Years - Evaluable Population
CBR=participants with complete response (CR) + participants with partial response (PR) + participants with stable disease (SD) for a length of time greater than, equal to 6 months. CR= Disappearance of all target lesions. No new lesions. PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD. SD= Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD) taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started. Physical examination,radiological assessment, and bone scans (if applicable) were used to assess outcome.
Time frame: First dose of study drug to last dose plus 7 days, up to study completion (approximately 6 years)
Number of Participants With Complete Response, Partial Response, Stable Disease, and Disease Progression
CR= Disappearance of all target lesions. No new lesions. PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD. SD= Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD) taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started. Progression (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
Time frame: First dose of study drug to last dose plus 7 days, up to study completion (approximately 6 years)
Median Progression Free Survival (PFS) - Intent to Treat (ITT) Population
PFS was measured in months. Progression=At least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Study initiated 2008 and completed 2014.
Time frame: Day 1 to Study Completion (approximately 6 years)

Percentage of Participants Best Overall Response After Change From Letrozole to Letrozole Plus Dasatinib
Participants in single-agent letrozole treatment arm who developed progressive disease, could continue letrozole, and add dasatinib to their treatment regimen. CBR=participants with CR + participants with partial response (PR) + participants with SD for a length of time ≥6 months divided by the total number of participants (%). CR= Disappearance of all target lesions. No new lesions. PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD. SD= Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD) taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started. PD=At least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
Time frame: First dose of study drug to last dose plus 7 days, up to study completion (approximately 6 years)
Percentage of Participants With PFS At 6 Months and At 12 Months - ITT Population
Progression=At least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. ITT population: from time of first enrollment to first PD for all ITT participants.
Time frame: At 6 months and at 12 months
Median Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) - ITT Population
Time to TTF was measured in months. The number of participants with events (PD or off treatment due to any reason) was evaluated. The first PD was defined as the event for cross over participants in the single- agent letrozole treatment arm to add dasatinib to their regimen.
Time frame: First dose of study drug to last dose plus 7 days, up to study completion (approximately 6 years)
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Deaths
AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization.
Time frame: First dose of study drug to last dose plus 30 days, up to study completion (approximately 6 years)
