About this study

Official title: A Phase III Randomized Study of Primary Chemotherapy With Adriamycin/Cyclophosphamide(AC) vs Taxotere/Xeloda(TX) for Stage II and III Breast Cancer

This is an open labeled phase III randomized trial. The patients with clinical stage II and III will undergo mammotome biopsy of breast tumor for histologic diagnosis, immunohistochemical studies for estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor(PR), HER-2/neu and others. PET results will determine the positivity of lymph node metastasis.

Read the detailed description
  • Patients will be randomized to receive regimen A (AC) and regimen B(TX), preoperatively,as follows: Regimen A (AC): Intravenous infusion of Adriamycin 60mg/m2 , over 30 min, onD1 and Intravenous infusion of cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 over 30 min on D1. Regimen B(TX): Intravenous infusion of Taxotere 75 mg/m2 over 1 hr, on D1, and Xeloda 1000mg/m2.p.o. BID x 14days on D1-D14 The cycle repeats every 3 weeks for 4 times. Premedication for regimen A includes antiemetics, for regimen B, dexamethasone as routinely given.

Patients who do not respond to the initial two cycles of preoperative chemotherapy will undergo operation.

The response rate will be determined by the number of patients with complete and partial responses according to RECIST guidelines. Pathologic complete response is defined as no pathologic evidence of residual disease. Safety will be evaluated by the frequency, severity, and relationship of adverse events graded by NCI Common Toxicity Criteria(CTC) that occur during the treatment and follow-up periods. Time to disease progression will be calculated from the date of study entry to the first objective documentation of progressive disease. Response duration will be measured from the date a patient first fulfills the CR or PR criteria to the first date of objective documentation of disease progression. Survival time will be calculated from the date of study entry to the date of death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Anthracycline, Cyclophosphamide, Docetaxel, Capecitabine in people with Breast Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea.

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 14 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 27 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

pathologic complete remission (time frame: 5 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 27 Jun 2011.
