Trial summary

After a core biopsy of the tumor is obtained, patients with locally advanced breast cancer are randomized to receive 4 cycles of full dose doxorubicin (75 mg/m2 e3w) or docetaxel (100 mg/m2 e3w). After the fourth cycle, patients are submitted to surgery to ascertain pathological response. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Patterns of Genetic Expression Associated to Sensibility to Doxorubicin Versus Docetaxel as Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Breast Cancer

After a core biopsy of the tumor is obtained, patients with locally advanced breast cancer are randomized to receive 4 cycles of full dose doxorubicin (75 mg/m2 e3w) or docetaxel (100 mg/m2 e3w). After the fourth cycle, patients are submitted to surgery to ascertain pathological response. They then receive the opposite drug, hormones, Herceptin, and radiation as indicated.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to define the genetic signature which predicts the response to single drug doxorubicin versus docetaxel. 250 patients will be included. cDNA microarrays will be produced and the genetic pattern will be correlated with the response to doxorubicin and docetaxel. Secondary aim is the prediction of response by means of IHC determinations (her2, ER, PgR, Ki67, protein TAU), FISH (topoisomerase II alpha, her2) and PCR (topoisomerase II alpha).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing docetaxel and doxorubicin in people with Breast Cancer, run by Hospital San Carlos, Madrid at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

correlation of genetic tumoral pattern with response to docetaxel versus doxorubicin (time frame: 2005-2009). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00123929, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Aug 2009.
