About this study

Official title: Phase II Multicenter Randomized Study to Compare Neoadjuvant FDC With Melatonin or Metformin Versus FDC Alone in The Therapy of Locally Advanced Breast Cancer.

This study evaluates the addition melatonin and metformin to conventional chemotherapy FDC (Fluoruracil, Doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide) in the treatment of locally advanced breast cancer. Third of patients will receive FDCх6 cycles, other third will receive combination of melatonin and FDCх6 cycles and other patients will receive combination of metformin and FDCх6 cycles.

Read the detailed description

The treatment of locally advanced breast cancer is a complicated issue. For neoadjuvant treatment is often needed to downstage locally advanced BC tumors prior to surgery, however many patients do not achieved objective response during treatment. The ability of melatonin and metformin to decrease side effects of chemotherapy had been investigated, moreover several studies confirm, that this drugs in combination with conventional treatment may increase objective response. But, this data is still controversial. We hypothesized that combinations of melatonin and conventional chemotherapy regimen such as FDC could be more effective than FDC alone in terms of response rate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response rate

    Response will evaluate by RECIST criteria

    Measured: 6 months after FPFV

  2. Pathomorphological response

    Pathomorphological response will assess after surgery by Miller and Payne Scale

    Measured: 6 months after FPFV

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse events incidence

    Incidence of AE classified using NCI Common Terminology Criteria for AE v4

    Measured: Until 30 days after last patient treatment visit
