About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Randomized Study of Different Neoadjuvant Regimens in Subtypes of Breast Cancer

There are no standard neodjuvant regimens adapted according to the different subtypes of breast cancer. This is a phase 2, randomized study to evaluate several regimens in different subtypes of breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

Breast cancer is a heterogenous disease with at least 4 intrinsic subtypes including Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2 enriched, Basal-like and normal breast like. Different subtypes have different prognosis and treatment sensitivity. Thus, it would be more suitable to administer different chemo-regimen in different subtypes. This is especially true in neoadjuvant chemotherapy setting where no standard regimen has ever been established. Therefore, we designed this phase 2 randomized clinical trial to explore potential effective regimens in variable subtypes of breast cancer in neoadjuvant treatment. Patients were first classified into Luminal type, Her2 positive type and triple-negative type by immunohistochemistry exam of ER/PR/HER2 in core needle biopsy and then randomized to received either dose dense paclitaxel in Luminal type or dose dense paclitaxel plus carboplatin with or without trastuzumab in HER2 positive type or dose dense paclitaxel plus carboplatin in triple-negative type.The control groups in each subtype all receive paclitaxel plus epirubicin every 3 weeks. The duration of treatment is 4-6 cycles. Primary endpoint is the pathological CR rate in each subtypes. Secondary endpoints include disease free survival, objective response rate, safety. Tissue samples and blood samples will be collected at baseline and during treatment. There will be exploratory biomarkers analyses to identify predictive markers for efficacy in every subtypes.

What is being measured

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

  1. pathological complete response(pCR) rate of breast and axilla after surgery

    pathological complete response(pCR) of breast and axilla after surgery means after operation, no invasive component can be found in both breast and axillary lymph nodes. The pCR rate is calculated by number of patients having pCR after sugery divided by number of patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Disease free survival

    Measured: 3years and 5years after operation

  2. Overall survival

    Measured: 3 years and 5years after operation

  3. Adverse event

    Measured: during screening and treatment, withing 21 days after day 1 of last cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel and carboplatin, Paclitaxel and Epirubicin and Paclitaxel in people with Breast Cancer and Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy, 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 6 inclusion and 3 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 Nov 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 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 Ying Fan, MD (861087788114, fanyingfy@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pathological complete response(pCR) rate of breast and axilla after surgery (time frame: 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 Nov 2014.
