Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether neo-adjuvant weekly paclitaxel with carboplatin is better than paclitaxel alone in efficiency and safety in early breast cancer, and to explore whether ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging can predict the efficiency of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. significant effect rate (the proportion of G4 and G5, graded by Miller & Payne Method); null effect rate (the proportion of G1 and G2)

    Measured: within the first 14 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing carboplatin+ paclitaxel and paclitaxel in people with Breast Cancer, run by Tao OUYANG at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 15 Aug 2014. 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 China. 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?

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?

significant effect rate (the proportion of G4 and G5, graded by Miller & Payne Method); null effect rate (the proportion of G1 and G2) (time frame: within the first 14 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery). 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 15 Aug 2014.
