Trial summary

About this study

HER-2/neu (+) breast cancer is a more aggressive form of breast cancer. HER-2/neu is a protein that is overproduced by your tumor. It makes your cancer more aggressive. Standard treatments for this type of cancer will help some people, but there is a moderate to high chance that your cancer may come back.

The purpose of this study is to see if a new regimen will be effective in preventing cancer from coming back. This is a phase II trial. In this trial, patient get a drug regimen that has been tested in small groups of people to see what dose is safe. Researchers now wish to see how effective the drug is for HER-2/neu (+) breast cancer. The objective includes looking at short-term side effects and risks of the drug. All of the drugs on this regimen can affect the heart which can be a serious side effect. The drugs affect on heart function is a primary focus.

A Phase 2 study testing AC [Adriamycin (A) (also known as doxorubicin) and Cyclophosphamide (C)] Followed By Paclitaxel (P) in people with Breast Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 8 inclusion and 11 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 Sep 2023. 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.

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 1 Dec 2014). 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?

Cardiac Saftey (time frame: Baseline-18 months). 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?
