In patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30-50 mL/min [Cockcroft and Gault43]) at baseline, a dose reduction to 75% of the XELODA starting dose is recommended. In patients with mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance 51-80 mL/min) no adjustment in starting dose is recommended.

  • Creatinine clearance for males = --------------
  • (72) (serum creatinine [mg/dL])
  • Creatinine clearance for females = 0.85 x male value

About this study

Paclitaxel 30 mg/m2 twice/week Trastuzumab 4mg/kg, loading dose, then 2 mg/kg weekly and Concurrent RT (to start within one week from first dose of Paclitaxel/Trastuzumab) to breast, supraclavicular, axillary fields, 45 Gy @ 1.8 Gy/fraction, + 14 Gy @ 2 Gy/fraction to the primary tumor. At the end of chemo-radiation, Trastuzumab will be continued weekly until surgery and as per standard of care after surgery for up to 1 year total.

**Surgery: Patients will undergo lumpectomy and axillary node dissection or modified radical mastectomy within two months following discontinuation of pre-operative systemic therapy, contingent upon recovery of skin toxicity. Pathologic response will be evaluated at the time of surgery. Additional tissue samples will be collected from the surgical specimen for assessment of tumor molecular characteristics.

***All patients may undergo four cycles of post-operative Standard AC (doxorubicin 60 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) or four cycles of post-operative epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide (epirubicin 100 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) if doxorubicin is not available Tamoxifen as well or any alternative antihormonal therapy may be prescribed for five years for patients with hormone receptor positive tumors. Herceptin (Trastuzumab) will be prescribed for a total of 1 year since first dose as per standard of care.

What participants receive

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

  • Radiation Therapy (RT)Radiation

    Concurrent RT (to start within one week from first dose of Paclitaxel/Trastuzumab) to breast, supraclavicular, axillary fields, 45 Gy @ 1.8 Gy/fraction, + 14 Gy @ 2 Gy/fraction to the primary tumor. At the end of chemo-radiation, Trastuzumab will be continued weekly until surgery and as per standard of care after surgery for up to 1 year total.

  • CapecitabineDrug

    Also called Xeloda

    Capecitabine (Xeloda®) 750 mg/m2 twice/daily given orally. Treatment should begin on day 1 of radiation therapy. The two doses should be taken about 30 minutes after eating (eg. after breakfast and after dinner). Treatment will be given for 10 weeks (for 6 weeks during radiation and for 4 weeks after radiation).

  • TrastuzumabDrug

    Also called Herceptin

    Trastuzumab (Herceptin®) treatment will be administered weekly, together with one of the two weekly doses of Paclitaxel. The first dose will be 4mg/kg given IV over 90 minutes. Subsequent weekly doses will be given at a dose of 2 mg/kg/week IV over 30 minutes. The treatment with Trastuzumab will continue weekly after the completion of the radiation treatment until surgery and thereafter as per standard of care up to 1 year post surgery.

  • PaclitaxelDrug

    Also called Taxol

    Paclitaxel 30 mg/m2 twice per week given IV over 1 hour. Treatment will be administered on a Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday schedule.The radiation treatment will start within 1 week from the first dose of paclitaxel and trastuzumab. Pre-meds for paclitaxel should be based on the institutional standards; it is suggested that dexamethasone (Decadron®), 20 mg IV, be given with the first paclitaxel dose. If the patient tolerates the treatment, the dexamethasone may be tapered and/or discontinued for subsequent doses. Treatment will be given for 10 weeks (for 6 weeks during radiation and for 4 weeks following radiation).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Radiation Therapy (RT), Capecitabine and Trastuzumab in people with Breast Cancer, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

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 20 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2018. 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 United States. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jan 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Feasibility & Efficacy of Chemo-radiation While Targeting Treatment, Based on: Original Tumor Characteristics; to be Followed by [Need for] Conventional Post-operative Chemotherapy (time frame: 12/2014 (up to 12 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 15 Oct 2018.
