About this study

This is a multicenter, open-label, phase IV trial to assess the efficacy and safety of sequential neoadjuvant chemotherapy with 4 cycles of doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide followed by 4 cycles of docetaxel(Monotaxel®) in patients with breast cancer of ≥5cm in size or cytologically confirmed axillary lymph nodes metastasis.

Being tested
Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with Docetaxel

What participants receive

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

  • Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with DocetaxelDrug

    Doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 plus cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 (day 1), IV (in the vein), every 21 days, a total of 4 cycles -> Docetaxel 100 mg/m2 (day 1) IV, every 21 days, a total of 4 cycles

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathologic Complete Response

    Pathologic complete response is defined as the disappearance of all invasive cancer in the postsurgical breast and lymph node specimens after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Only residual intraductal carcinoma in the postsurgical breast specimen after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is also considered as the achievement of pathologic complete response.

    Measured: 26 weeks after the first administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide regimens

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with Docetaxel in people with Locally Advanced Breast Cancer, run by Yonsei University 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?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 8 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 1 Nov 2016. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 (time frame: 26 weeks after the first administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide regimens). 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 1 Nov 2016.
