About this study

Official title: A Multi-center Randomized Phase II Study of Doxorubicin Liposome Versus Epirubicin Plus Cyclophosphamide Combined With Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab(HP), Followed by Taxon Plus HP as Neoadjuvant Therapy for HER2-positive Early Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. EC-TH is one of the standard chemotherapy regimens for HER-2 positive early breast cancer(EBC). Earlier use of trastuzumab may improve DFS rate. In this study, the investigators want to find out whether ACH-TH regimen compared with the EC-TH regimen in HER2+ EBC could improve the pCR rate in neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

We update protocol in Sep 2020, because Pertuzumab is approveled by Chinese goverment and coverd by national insurance, dual target therapy with Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab is the standard therapy for neoadjuvant therapy of HER2-positive EBC patients.

Read the detailed description

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. EC-TH is one of the standard chemotherapy regimens for HER-2 positive early breast cancer(EBC). Earlier use of trastuzumab could improve the DFS rate in HER2+ EBC. But due to the cardio-toxicity of both anthracycline and trastuzumab, the investigators usually avoid using these two drugs synchronously. The guidelines do not recommend ECH-TH regemin because of cardiac adverse effect. Doxorubicin liposome(A) has equivalent effect as anthracycline in advaced breast cancer(ABC), lower cardiac toxicity and could be combined use with trastuzumab. In this study, the investigators want to find out whether ACH-TH regimen compared with the EC-TH regimen in HER2+ EBC could improve the pCR rate in neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

We update protocol in Sep 2020, because Pertuzumab is approveled by Chinese goverment and coverd by national insurance, dual target therapy with Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab is the standard therapy for neoadjuvant therapy of HER2-positive EBC patients. So now we want to compare ACHP-THP regimen compared with the EC-THP regimen in HER2+ EBC could improve the pCR rate in neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathological Complete Response rate (pCR)

    Pathological complete response (pCR) in the breast tissue and the lymph node tissue will be assessed upon completion of pre-operative systemic therapy and definitive surgery.

    Measured: At the time of definitive surgery (approximately 24-36 weeks from first dose of study drug).

Secondary outcomes (6)

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    CRR is defined as the proportion of subjects with complete or partial radiographic response of the primary tumor as determined by the central imaging vendor.

    Measured: Approximately 20-24 weeks from first dose of study drug

  2. Event Free Survival (EFS)

    EFS will be defined as the time from random assignment to documentation of the first of the following events: discontinuation of study therapy due to protocol-defined progression prior to surgery; local, regional, or distant recurrence of breast cancer following curative surgery; a new breast cancer; another new onset malignancy; or death as a result of any cause.

    Measured: Up to 5 years from the date of definitive surgery

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS will be defined as the number of days from the day the subject is randomized to the date of the subject's death.

    Measured: Up to 5 years from the date of definitive surgery.

  4. Incidence of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity

    Incidence of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, according to NCI-CTCAE 4.03 version.

    Measured: Approximately 20-24 weeks from first dose of study drug

  5. Change From Baseline Between Treatment Comparison in Euro Quality of Life (EQ-5D) Index

    The EuroQol EQ-5D is a 6-item instrument designed to assess health status in terms of a single index value or utility score. It contains 5 descriptors of current health state (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain or discomfort, and anxiety or depression) with each dimension having 3 levels of function (1=no problem, 2=some problem, and 3=extreme problem). The scores on the 5 descriptors are summarized to create a single summary score. An overall utility score is calculated based on these domains, with a range score from 0 (worse health scenario) to a maximum of 1.0 (best health scenario).

    Measured: First day of treatment (Day 1) up to 6 months during the post-surgery follow-up period (approximately 15 months from first dose of study drug)

  6. Change From Baseline Between Treatment Comparison in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy -Breast (FACT-B)

    FACT is a modular approach to assess participant health-related quality of life using a 'core' set of questions (FACT-G) as well as a cancer site-specific module. The FACT-G is a 27-item compilation of general questions divided into 4 domains: Physical Well-Being, Social/Family Well-Being, Emotional Well-Being, and Functional Well-Being. The FACT-B consisted of the FACT-G (27-item) and a breast-specific module: a 10-item instrument designed to assess participant concerns relating to breast cancer. For all questions, participants were asked to respond to a five-level scale where 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. FACT-B total score = Physical Well-Being + Social/Family Well-Being + Emotional Well-Being + Functional Well-Being + Breast Cancer Subscale. As each of the items ranges from 0-4, the range of possible scores is 0-144, with 0 being the worst possible score and 144 the best.

    Measured: First day of treatment (Day 1) up to 6 months during the post-surgery follow-up period (approximately 15 months from first dose of study drug)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Doxorubicin liposome, Cyclophosphamide and Trastuzumab in people with Breast Cancer and Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy, run by Sun Yat-sen University 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 10 inclusion and 10 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 16 Oct 2023. 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?

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?

Pathological Complete Response rate (pCR) (time frame: At the time of definitive surgery (approximately 24-36 weeks from first dose of study drug).). 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 NCT04172259, which also lists 20 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.
