Bilateral mammogram and clip placement is required for study entry. Baseline measurements of the indicator lesions must be recorded on the Patient Registration Form. To be valid for baseline, the measurements must have been made within the 14 days if palpable. If not palpable, a mammogram or MRI must be done within 14 days. If palpable, a mammogram or MRI must be done within 2 months prior to study entry. If clinically indicated, xrays and scans must be done within 28 days of study entry.

  • Normal (greater than 50%) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by echocardiography
  • Signed informed consent

  • Adequate organ function within 2 weeks of study entry:
  • Absolute neutrophil count >1500/mm3, Hgb >9.0 g/dl and platelet count >100,000/mm3
  • Total bilirubin < upper limit of normal
  • Creatinine < 1.5 mg/dL or calculated cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) >50mL/min using the Cockcroft Gault equation
  • serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase(SGOT)(AST) or serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase(SGPT)(ALT) and Alkaline Phosphatase must be within the range allowing for eligibility
  • Patients must be over 18 years old.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to the start of treatment
  • Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (barrier method of birth control) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation.

Who cannot join

  • Metastatic disease
  • Prior chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biologic therapy, investigational agent, targeted therapy or radiation therapy for current breast cancer. Patients with history of breast cancer greater than 5 years from initial diagnosis are eligible for the study. Patients may not have received anthracycline-based chemotherapy in the past. Patients with history of ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS) are eligible if there were treated with surgery alone.
  • History of previous or current malignancy at other sites with the exception of adequately treated carcinoma in-situ of the cervix or basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Patients with a history of other malignancies, who remain disease free for greater than five years are eligible.

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Dose-dense (Biweekly) Carboplatin Plus Paclitaxel With or Without Trastuzumab as Neoadjuvant Treatment for Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of dose-dense(biweekly) carboplatin and paclitaxel ± trastuzumab as neoadjuvant treatment in early breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

Dose-dense regimens have been shown to improve outcome when given as adjuvant therapy to patients with breast cancer compared with their three weekly counterparts. It is unknown if dose dense neoadjuvant therapy will improve survival in resectable breast cancer. This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dose-dense(biweekly) carboplatin and paclitaxel ± trastuzumab as neoadjuvant treatment in early breast cancer. The endpoint of pathologic complete response is used as a surrogate marker for survival. Safety and tolerability assessed by number of grade 4 toxicities and hospitalizations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing carboplatin and paclitaxel and or without trastuzumab in people with Breast Cancer, run by Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital 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 14 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 12 Feb 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 Kun Wang, MD (00862083827812 ext. 50910, gzwangkun@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pathologic complete response (time frame: one year). 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 NCT02059876, 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 12 Feb 2014.
