About this study

Official title: Marched Pair Study of the Standard Chemotherapy 4doxorubicin Plus Cyclophosphamide(AC) 60 + 4 Docetaxel Protocol Versus 4 PLD C35+4 Docetaxel in Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy of Breast Cancer

The regimen PLD plus cyclophosphamide 4 cycles followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel 4 cycles(noted in phase II CAPRICE) will be used as experimental group. The regimen will be compared to the standard treatment of doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide(AC) 4 cycles followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel 4 cycles[noted in National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline].

Read the detailed description

Purpose :Anthracycline based chemotherapy regimen is the milestone on the treatment of breast cancer . A sequential protocol, using docetaxel or Paclitaxel after an anthracycline-based combination is primary treatment for high-risk breast cancer .Despite its efficient antitumor activity profile, the use of conventional anthracycline in clinical practice is limited due to it's the risk of cardiac toxicity. The meta analysis show that subclinical cardiotoxicity was 17.9% whereas the incidence of clinically overt cardiotoxicity was 6.3%. Overall cardiovascular events occurred in 10.6%(Lotrisone , Am J Cardiol. 2013).Many patients have healed from breast cancer while they are snatched lives because of heart issue from chemotherapy using anthracycline. There are a lot of clinical trials exploring the possibilities of chemotherapy regimen without anthracycline ,however the recent result has shown anthracycline is indispensible for the patients whose axillary nodes are involved or triple negative breast cancer (ASCO 2016 ).So our target is to find a kind of anthracycline which is of equal efficiency with conventional anthracycline while less cardiac toxicity. Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin(PLD) is a novel kind of anthracycline. It distributes into cardiac cells lowly and releases Doxorubicin (DOX) slower to avoid peak plasma concentration, so it is of significant less cardiotoxicity compared to free DOX. It also achieve non-inferior efficacy at 50mg/m2 to conventional anthracycline in Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC).( M. E. R. O'Brien, ,Annals of Oncology,2004;).

PLD 35mg/m2 in combination with paclitaxel showed an overall response rate of 71% ,tolerating toxicity of the skin(3% hand-foot syndrome)and rare cardiac event( H. Gogas1, Annals of Oncology, 2002;Gil-Gil , Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2015)However, There are a crucial question is to know if 35mg/m2 PLD has equivalent efficacy with less cardiac toxicity compared with 60 mg/m2 DOX in adjuvant chemotherapy for all patients.

The regimen PLD plus cyclophosphamide 4 cycles followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel 4 cycles(noted in phase II CAPRICE)will be used as experimental group. The regimen will be compared to the standard treatment of doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide (AC)4 cycles followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel 4 cycles(noted in NCCN guideline).

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 Di Wu, Doctor (0086-13504331975, w2000mail@sohu.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

improvement of pathological complete response(PCR) (time frame: at th 26th weeks of treatment since recruitment (after 8 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy when the patient will undergo surgery)). 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 NCT02953184, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 29 Dec 2017.
