About this study

Official title: Effect of Neoadjuvant Platinum-based Chemoradiation Therapy for Locally Advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Clinical Outcome and Correlation to Biological Parameters

The purpose of this study is to determine whether platinum-based chemotherapy (either cisplatin or carboplatin), when given with radiation therapy prior to surgery, is effective in improving response to treatment in triple negative breast cancer patients. This treatment is being studied in this type of breast cancer because it does not respond well to commonly used treatments such as tamoxifen or herceptin.

Being tested
Cisplatin, Carboplatin, Radiation therapy, Mastectomy (recommended but not mandatory)
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms

Receives: Drug: Cisplatin; Drug: Carboplatin; Radiation: Radiation therapy; Procedure: Mastectomy (recommended but not mandatory)

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate as Measured by Number of Participants Who Achieved Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)

    • Complete response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions, disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level.
    • Partial response (PR) = at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of the target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD

    Measured: Prior to surgery (approximately 12-16 weeks from registration)

  2. Relationship Between Tumor Response and Deficiencies in DNA Repair Mechanisms

    Measured: Prior to surgery (approximately 12-16 weeks from registration)

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Time to Disease Progression

    Progression = at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of the target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions, appearance of one or more new lesions, unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: Up to 5 years from registration

  2. Number of Participants With Surgical Complications

    Measured: 30 days post surgery (approximately 16-20 weeks from registration)

  3. Determine the Effect of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation Therapy in Disseminated Cancer Cells in the Bone Marrow

    Measured: Up to 15 months from registration

  4. Overall Survival Rate

    Measured: Median follow-up was 59.9 months

  5. Medical Toxicities as Measured by Number of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events

    Measured: 30 days post surgery (approximately 16-20 weeks after start of registration)

  6. Successful Development of Animal Models of Triple Negative Breast Cancers as Measured by the Ability to Grow the Tumors in Mice.

    Measured: At the time of IVAD placement and at the time of surgery

  7. Successful Development of Animal Models for Triple Negative Breast Cancers as Measured by the Ability to Passage the Tumors in Mice

    Measured: At the time of IVAD placement and at the time of surgery

  8. Successful Development of Animal Models in Triple Negative Breast Cancers as Measured by the Ability of the Tumors to Metastasize to Other Organs

    Measured: At the time of IVAD placement and at the time of surgery

  9. Successful Development of Animal Models of Triple Negative Breast Cancer as Measured by the Genetic Similarity Between the Primary Tumor and the Tumor in Animals

    Measured: At the time of IVAD placement and at the time of surgery

  10. Determine the Effect of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation Therapy in Disseminated Cancer Cells in the Bone Marrow and the Correlation to Tumor Response

    Measured: Up to 15 months from time of registration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cisplatin, Carboplatin and Radiation therapy in people with Breast Neoplasms, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 20 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Dec 2016. 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 28 Oct 2016). 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?

Response Rate as Measured by Number of Participants Who Achieved Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (time frame: Prior to surgery (approximately 12-16 weeks from registration)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01167192, which also lists 4 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 30 Dec 2016.
