About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Preoperative Cisplatin and Bevacizumab in Estrogen Receptor (ER) Negative, Progesterone (PR) Negative, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) Negative Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to find out what effect taking cisplatin in combination with bevacizumab before surgery and then standard chemotherapy plus bevacizumab after surgery will have on participants with Estrogen Receptor (ER) negative, Progesterone Receptor (PR) negative and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer. Cisplatin is used to destroy cancer cells in many types of cancers, and has shown to be effective and have manageable side effects. Bevacizumab is an antibody, which is a protein that attacks a foreign substance in the body. Bevacizumab slows or stops cell growth in cancerous tumors by decreasing the blood supply to the tumors.

Read the detailed description
  • To prepare for surgery, a small "clip" will be placed into the tumor area so that the surgeon can locate the site of the tumor at the time of surgery. This is a standard procedure for breast cancer.
  • The study drugs will be given in four 3-week cycles (about 3 months). Participants will come into the clinic each day they receive study treatment intravenously. Cisplatin will be given on day one of the treatment cycle (once every 3 weeks) for four cycles. Bevacizumab will be given on day one of the treatment cycle for three cycles.
  • On day one of each 3-week cycle a physical exam, routine blood tests and urine test will be performed. 7-8 days after chemotherapy, blood tests and a hearing test will be performed. A preoperative study visit will take place 7-10 days before surgery and a physical exam, routine blood tests, Electrocardiogram (EKG) and an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the breast will be performed.
  • Surgery to remove the tumor will occur at least three weeks after the last dose of cisplatin and is considered standard of care.
  • Postoperative chemotherapy will begin at least three weeks after surgery. Everyone on the research study will receive four 2-week cycles of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide plus bevacizumab. After the 8 weeks, the doctor will decide which of the following two treatment regimens the participant will receive: Bevacizumab for four 2-week cycles (once every two weeks) or; Paclitaxel plus bevacizumab for four 2-week cycles (once every two weeks).
  • At the end of the postoperative chemotherapy, the participant will return to the clinic for a medical history, physical exam, vital signs, performance status, routine blood tests, multiple gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or Echocardiogram Scans, and a hearing test.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathologic Complete Response Rate After Preoperative Therapy With Cisplatin and Bevacizumab in ER-, PR-, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) -Negative Early Breast Cancer.

    The goal of this measure was to determine the pathologic complete response rate (Miller-Payne (MP) score 5) after preoperative therapy with cisplatin and bevacizumab in ER-, PR-, HER2-negative early breast cancer.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical Overall and Complete Response Rates After Preoperative Therapy With Cisplatin and Bevacizumab

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Toxicity of Administering Bevacizumab in Combination With Standard Adjuvant Chemotherapy.

    Number of patients who were unable to receive all cycles of chemotherapy on time for toxicity reasons.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Patients With Miller-Payne (MP) Score 3, 4, or 5 Response

    To describe a panel of molecular assays for an association with clinical response and, if feasible, with pathologic complete response (pCR) in ER-, PR-, HER2-negative subjects treated with cisplatin and bevacizumab in the preoperative setting. A Miller-Payne (MP) score of 3 indicates a decrease in the size of the cancer by 30% to 90%. A MP score of 4 indicates marked decrease in the size of the cancer by greater than 90%. A MP score of 5 indicates there is no residual cancer remaining (the same as a pathologic complete response).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin, bevacizumab and doxorubicin in people with Breast Cancer, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 3 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 7 inclusion and 25 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 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 31 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?

Pathologic Complete Response Rate After Preoperative Therapy With Cisplatin and Bevacizumab in ER-, PR-, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) -Negative Early Breast Cancer. (time frame: 2 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 2021.
