We have performed a phase I study of the effect of a single dose of CGS 20267, an oral nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor, in 12 healthy volunteer postmenopausal women. Each subject received 2 single doses of CGS 20267 (0.1, 0.5, or 2.5 mg) or placebo separated by a washout period of at least 6 weeks. There was statistically significant suppression of serum estrone and estradiol at all three doses of CGS 20267 tested. Serum estrone and estradiol concentrations were maximally suppressed by 76% and 79% from baseline levels, respectively. Urinary excretion of estrone and estradiol was also suppressed, although this did not reach statistical significance. Serum concentrations of aldosterone, cortisol, 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, androstenedione, testosterone, FSH, LH, and TSH were unaffected by CGS 20267. The drug was well tolerated, with no significant side-effects. This study has shown CGS 20267 to be a potent and specific aromatase inhibitor, and further studies are now needed to assess its clinical efficacy.
