About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Primary Chemotherapy With Anthracycline-based Regimen Followed by Nab-paclitaxel and Trastuzumab in Patients With HER2 Positive Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in terms of the pathological complete response (pCR) rate and the efficacy to preoperative administration of Anthracycline-based regimen followed by Nab-paclitaxel and Trastuzumab in patients with HER2 positive operable breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

Four cycles of anthracycline-based regimen followed by four cycles of Nab-paclitaxel and Trastuzumab are administrated.

Anthracycline-based regimen (d1, q3w):

EC (Epirubicin 90mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2) AC (Doxorubicin 60mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2) FEC (Fluorouracil 500mg/m2, Epirubicin 100mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide 500mg/m2)

Nab-paclitaxel 260mg/m2 (d1, q3w)

Trastuzumab (d1, q3w) is given at a dose of 8 mg/kg IV on day 1 of the first treatment cycle over 90 min, and subsequently given at a dose of 6 mg/kg over 30 min.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nab-paclitaxel in people with Breast Cancer and HER-2 Positive Breast Cancer, run by Osaka Medical College at 1 site in Japan.

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 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 22 Apr 2015. 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 Japan. 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?

To evaluate the pathological complete response rate (time frame: 1 year from last patient enrolled). 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 NCT01432223, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Apr 2015.
