About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Study of Weekly Paclitaxel Plus Carboplatin in Preoperative Treatment of Breast Cancer Patients

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pathological complete response (pCR) rate in breast cancer patients treated with weekly paclitaxel plus carboplatin preoperative regimen.

Read the detailed description

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer in women in China. Preoperative chemotherapy for treatment of locally advanced breast cancer has become a standard therapy. Results from neoadjuvant trials have shown that pathological complete response (pCR) is an independent predictor of outcome. Paclitaxel was introduced into clinical practice in the early 1990s and has demonstrated good activity in the adjuvant and metastatic settings. Platinum complexes, like cisplatin and carboplatin, are active in a wide range of solid tumors. Paclitaxel combined with carboplatin has shown great activity in ovarian and nonsmall- cell lung cancer treatment. In addition, the overall response rate of paclitaxel plus carboplatin was between 53% and 62% in the first-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer. This study will evaluate the pCR rate of weekly paclitaxel plus carboplatin as preoperative treatment for breast cancer patients.

Receives: Drug: Paclitaxel, Carboplatin

What is being measured

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

  1. pathological complete remission (pCR) rate

    Measured: after 4 cycles of preoperative treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    From the first dose of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to definitive surgery or disease progression

    Measured: 4 months during neoadjuvant therapy

  2. clinical response rate

    Measured: after 4 cycles of preoperative therapy

  3. Predictive markers of weekly paclitaxel plus carboplatin

    Measured: after 4 cycles of preoperative treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel, Carboplatin in people with Breast Cancer, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine 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 9 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 16 Sep 2010. 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?

pathological complete remission (pCR) rate (time frame: after 4 cycles of preoperative treatment). 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 NCT01203267, 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 16 Sep 2010.
