What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT00482391
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AC, PACLITAXEL , TRASTUZUMAB & LAPATINIBExperimentalThe regimen consists of AC (doxorubicin 60 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) q 14 days x 4 with pegfilgrastim, followed by weekly paclitaxel (80 mg/m2) x 12 + trastuzumab (H) + lapatinib (L). Pegfilgrastim 6mg is given subcutaneously (SQ) on day # 2 of each AC. Filgrastim may be used in lieu of pegfilgrastim at the physician's discretion. Trastuzumab will be administered weekly starting with paclitaxel treatment # 1. Near the completion of all chemotherapy, patients may receive trastuzumab on a q 3-weekly schedule, starting as early as with paclitaxel cycle # 12. The total duration of trastuzumab from beginning to end is 52 weeks. Lapatinib will be given orally at 1000 mg daily, starting with trastuzumab for a total duration of 52 weeks. Hormonal therapy such as tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor will be given to patients with hormone receptor positive disease at the physician's discretion. Radiation therapy to the breast or chest is recommended to patients as appropriate.
Receives: Biological: trastuzumab; Drug: cyclophosphamide; Drug: doxorubicin hydrochloride; Drug: lapatinib ditosylate; Drug: paclitaxel; Other: laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Patients Who Completed All Planned Therapy

    The number of patients who completed all planned therapy (dose-dense adjuvant/ neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen) in HER-2/neu-overexpressed/ amplified breast cancer patients.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Patients Who Were Evaluated for Toxicity

    Please see adverse event section in the results. Toxicities were assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI CTC) version 3.0.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing trastuzumab, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin hydrochloride in people with Breast Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 2 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?

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 12 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Patients Who Completed All Planned Therapy (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT00482391, 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 12 May 2017.
