About this study

Official title: Phase IIb Trial of Paclitaxel Plus Carboplatin Versus Paclitaxel Plus Epirubicin as Neoadjuvant Treatment in Locally Advanced Triple-negative Breast Cancer

This study is to compare the effective of Paclitaxel combined with Epirubicin and Paclitaxel plus Carboplatin in the neoadjuvant treatment for TNBC. And the investigators hypothesized that paclitaxel combined with carboplatin is more sensitive to TNBC compared with Paclitaxel plus Epirubicin,this study will also have a look into the relation of BRCA1 mutation and sensitive to carboplatin.

Read the detailed description

It is know that triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC) is more aggressive than non-triple negative breast cancer in both pathological features and clinical prognosis,and there is no standard chemotherapy regimens especially for TNBC. NCCN guidelines recommends Paclitaxel or Epirubicin based regimens as the preferred regimens both for the adjuvant chemotherapy and the treatment of Recurrence and Metastatic breast cancer.The combination of these two drugs is considered as a strong arrangement and therefore,is common used in Triple negative breast cancer patients because of its poor prognosis.

According to the results of some retrospective studies, platinum-based chemotherapy regimens showed a promising sensitive to Triple negative breast cancer patients compared with regimens without platinum.

This study is to compare the effective of Paclitaxel combined with Epirubicin and Paclitaxel plus Carboplatin in the neoadjuvant treatment for TNBC. And the investigators hypothesized that paclitaxel combined with carboplatin is more sensitive to TNBC compared with Paclitaxel plus Epirubicin,this study will also have a look into the relation of BRCA1 mutation and sensitive to carboplatin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathology of specimens derived from the breast modified radical mastectomy/Breast-conserving surgery

    After patients complete the neoadjuvant chemothreapy and receive the surguries,we can get their pathology ,and compare the pCR(pathological complete remission)rates of two amrs

    Measured: One week after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. follow-up the patient every 3-6 months to obtain the 3 year-DFS(disease free survival ) and OS(overall survival )

    Measured: we follow up the patients every 6 month ,up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel plus carboplatin and Paclitaxel and epirubicin in people with Triple Negative 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 10 inclusion and 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 2011. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact ZHANG Pin, BD (+861087788120, zhang_pin@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pathology of specimens derived from the breast modified radical mastectomy/Breast-conserving surgery (time frame: One week after the 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 16 Nov 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
