Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and/or paclitaxel work in treating women with nonmetastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the pharmacogenomics of adjuvant chemotherapy comprising doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide and/or paclitaxel in women with nonmetastatic invasive breast cancer.
  • Determine treatment-induced myelosuppression (e.g., neutropenia) in patients treated with adjuvant doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide who have polymorphisms in drug activation and metabolism genes.
  • Correlate the incidence of peripheral neuropathy with pharmacogenomic analysis in patients treated with paclitaxel.

Secondary

  • Determine response (i.e., relapse in the adjuvant setting) during a 10-year follow-up period in patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive treatment on The Cancer and Leukemia Group B study(CALGB) CALGB-40101 OR are assigned to receive 1 of 2 treatment regimens on this study.

  • Regimen 1: Patients receive doxorubicin IV over 10 minutes and cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses.
  • Regimen 2: Patients receive doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide as in regimen 1. Patients then receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour once weekly for 12 weeks.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 3, 6, and 12 months and then annually for up to 10 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 500 patients (300 treated with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide and 200 treated with paclitaxel) will be accrued for this study within 3-4 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

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 0 inclusion and 21 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 25 Jul 2016. 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 United States. 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.

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?

Treatment-induced myelosuppression (e.g., neutropenia) (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Jul 2016.
