Trial summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Bevacizumab, Docetaxel and Carboplatin for Triple Negative Breast Cancer (Neat Trial)

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab together with docetaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with docetaxel and carboplatin works in treating women with operable Stage II or stage III breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the rate of pathological complete response in women with operable triple-negative breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant bevacizumab, docetaxel, and carboplatin.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive bevacizumab IV, docetaxel IV, and carboplatin IV on day 1. Treatment repeat every 3 weeks for 5 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients receive docetaxel IV and carboplatin IV only during course 6. Patients undergo surgery between weeks 19-21 as planned.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Avastin, docetaxel, carboplatin in people with Breast Cancer, run by Severance Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 10 Apr 2012. 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 South Korea. 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?

pathologic complete response (pCR)after completion of 6th cycle neoadjuvant treatment (time frame: After completion of 6 cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by 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 10 Apr 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
