About this study

Official title: Docetaxel Plus Carboplatin Versus Epirubicin Plus Cyclophosphamide Followed by Docetaxel as Adjuvant Treatment in Triple-negative Breast Cancer

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has a relatively bad prognosis whereas there is no standard regimen. Some data showed that platins could improve the efficacy of advance TNBC. In this trial, it is the hypothesis that TP (docetaxel plus carboplatin) has a better efficacy than EC-T (epirubicin plus cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel).

Conditions

What participants receive

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

  • EC-TDrug

    four cycles of EC (epirubicin: 90 mg/m2; cyclophosphamide :600 mg/m2, day 1) followed by four cycles of T (docetaxel : 75 mg/m2 or paclitaxel 175 mg/m2, day 1)

  • TPDrug

    six cycles of TP (docetaxel: 75 mg/m2 or paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 d1; carboplatin AUC=5, day 1)

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease Free Survival (DFS) of 3 years

    Measured: 3 years after mastectomy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety Profiles

    All adverse events occurring during chemotherapy are to be recorded in the case report form, including hemotologic and nonhemotologic toxicities.

    Measured: Up to 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing EC-T and TP in people with Breast Cancer, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 9 Feb 2021. 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 combined 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.

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?

Disease Free Survival (DFS) of 3 years (time frame: 3 years after mastectomy). 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 NCT01150513, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 9 Feb 2021.
