About this study

Official title: Phase II Feasibility Study of Weekly Paclitaxel Followed by Weekly Doxorubicin Plus Daily Oral Cyclophosphamide for Locally Advanced HER2-Negative Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine whether weekly paclitaxel followed by weekly doxorubicin plus daily oral cyclophosphamide without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is feasible in the treatment of locally advanced HER2-negative breast cancer.

Being tested
Paclitaxel/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide

What participants receive

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

  • Paclitaxel/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamideDrug

    Also called Metronomic chemotherapy

    Metronomic chemotherapy as described below:

    1. Paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 once a week for 8 weeks followed by;
    2. Doxorubicin 24 mg/m2 once a week concomitant to oral cyclophosphamide 100 mg/day (fix dose) for 9 weeks.
  • Paclitaxel/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamideDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of febrile neutropenia

    Incidence of febrile neutropenia with modified metronomic schedule (whithout GCSF) will be no higher than 10%

    Measured: 18 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy

    Efficacy will be assessed by:

    1. Tumor measurements using MRI
    2. Pathologic complete response
    3. Progression-free survival
    4. Overall survival

    Measured: From the beginning of treatment until surgery, progression and death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide in people with Locally Advanced HER2-negative Breast Cancer, run by Instituto do Cancer do Estado de São Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 9 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 21 May 2014. 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 Brazil. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Toxicity). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence of febrile neutropenia (time frame: 18 weeks). 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 21 May 2014.
