About this study

Official title: Phase III, Randomized Study Of Epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide Followed By Taxane (Sequential Chemotherapy) Versus Epirubicin/Taxane (Concurrent Chemotherapy) As Adjuvant Treatment For Operable, Node-Positive Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare two combinations of drugs, epirubicin given with a taxane (ET) or epirubicin given with cyclophosphamide (cytoxan) and followed by a taxane to see if one of the combinations is better at preventing or delaying the time for breast cancer recurrence and death after 3 years. The study will also evaluate the side effects of both treatment combinations.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Epirubicin with Cyclophosphamide, followed by a TaxaneDrug

    Also called Epirubicin, ellence,

    Epirubicin = 90 mg/m2 Cyclophosphamide = 600 mg/m2

    Followed by a taxane; paclitaxel = 175 mg/m2 or docetaxel = 75 mg/m2

  • Epirubicin with a TaxaneDrug

    Also called Epirubicin, ellence,

    Epirubicin = 75 mg/m2 per cycle

    Taxane = paclitaxel = 175 mg/m2 or docetaxel = 75 mg/m2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Epirubicin with Cyclophosphamide, followed by a Taxane and Epirubicin with a Taxane in people with Adenocarcinoma, run by Pfizer at 54 sites 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 26 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 54 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Disease free survival at 3 years (time frame: 3 years). 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 26 May 2011.
