About this study

Official title: A Phase III Trial of Carboplatin as Adjuvant Chemotherapy Versus Observation in Triple Negative Breast Cancer With Pathologic Residual Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: POST-Neo Adjuvant Study

This study is designed to investigate the efficacy of carboplatin, as a post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy for triple negative breast cancer patients who have pathologic residual cancer after the preoperative chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

In Neo-adjuvant period Four cycles of 60 mg/m2 doxorubicin and 600 mg/m2 cyclophosphamide therapy at 3-week intervals followed by four cycles of 100 mg/m2 docetaxel at 3-week intervals.

In POST Neo-adjuvant period

Randomization:

At the time of post neo-adjuvant period, the patients will be assigned to each treatment group in a 1:1 ratio i.e. carboplatin AUC 6 group vs. observation group. Six cycles of carboplatin (AUC=6) on the first day of every 21 days.

carboplatin chemotherapyExperimentalAt the time of post neo-adjuvant period, the patients will be assigned to each treatment group in a 1:1 ratio i.e. carboplatin AUC 6 group vs. observation group. Six cycles of carboplatin (AUC=6) on the first day of every 21 days.
Receives: Drug: carboplatin
Observation armNo interventionIn this observation arm, patients should be follow up with regular interval without treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease-free survival (DFS)

    To compare DFS between carboplatin and observation within non-pCR (complete remission) patients

    Measured: up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. overall survival

    To compare overall survival (OS) between carboplatin and observation within non-pCR patients.

    Measured: up to 5years

  2. pCR rate

    To assess the pCR rate (no residual invasive carcinoma in primary breast and axillary lymph node) within total TNBC patients.

    Measured: up to 3 years

  3. The percentage of patients who receive breast conserving surgery.

    To assess the percentage of patients who receive breast conserving surgery within total triple negative breast cancer patients

    Measured: up to 3years

  4. Number of adverse events

    Number of adverse events in patients with non-pCR.

    Measured: up to 3years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing carboplatin in people with Breast Cancer, run by Severance Hospital.

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 17 inclusion and 7 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 25 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Byeong Woo Park, MD, PhD (82-2-2228-8125, nobelg@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease-free survival (DFS) (time frame: up to 3 years). 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 25 Dec 2012.
