About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase 2 Trial to Assess the Efficacy of AT in Comparison to TP as Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients With HER2-negative Early Breast Cancer : Evaluating the Homologous Recombination Deficiency(HRD) Biomarker

This is a prospective, randomized and open-label phase II study, evaluating the efficacy and safety of AT vs TP regimen as neoadjuvant treatment for early HER2-negative breast cancer. Participants will undergo/receive HRD testing after enrollment. HRD-positive patients will be randomly assigned in a ratio of 1:1 to receive AT(Doxorubicin or Epirubicin+docetaxel)or TP(Albumin paclitaxel + Cisplatin or Carboplatin)regimen respectively, followed by surgery. HRD-negative patients will be assigned to receive TP(Albumin paclitaxel + Cisplatin or Carboplatin)regimen if TNBC, or AT(Doxorubicin or Epirubicin+docetaxel)rigemen, followed by surgery.

Read the detailed description

This study intends to adopt Simon's two-stage optimal design. In stage 1, 15 HRD-positive and 15 HRD-negative patients will be recruited to receive AT or TP regimen as neoadjuvant therapy. If more than 5 patients in the HRD-positive group achieve pCR(pathological complete response) , the trial expands to stage 2, otherwise the trial terminates. In stage 2, another 31 HRD- positive and 31 HRD-negative patients will be enrolled.

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete pathological response of breast and lymph nodes (ypT0/is ypN0; defined as no microscopic evidence of residual invasive viable tumor cells in all resected specimens of the breast and axilla)

    1. To compare the pathologic response to neoadjuvant AT regimen in HER2- breast cancer with and without HR-deficiency, defined as a high HRD score or a BRCA mutation
    2. To compare the pathologic response to neoadjuvant TP regimen in HER2- breast cancer with and without HR-deficiency, defined as a high HRD score or a BRCA mutation
    3. To compare the pathologic response to neoadjuvant AT vs TP regimen in HER2- breast cancer with HR-deficiency, defined as a high HRD score or a BRCA mutation

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Imaging response

    To determine the response rates of the breast tumor and axillary nodes based on imaging tests. (sonography, mammography, or MRI) after treatment.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Residual cancer burden in patients with HRD

    RCB in the breast tissue and the lymph node tissue will be performed after the completion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy.

    Measured: up to 24 weeks

  3. response by pCR in HRD high versus tBRCA

    To assess the pCR rate in HRD high with vs without tBRCA mutation

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AT regimen and TP regimen in people with HER2-negative Breast Cancer, run by Sichuan 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 16 inclusion and 12 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 5 Aug 2020. 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 Prof. Luojing (86-18981838521, luckyluojingyu@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete pathological response of breast and lymph nodes (ypT0/is ypN0; defined as no microscopic evidence of residual invasive viable tumor cells in all resected specimens of the breast and axilla) (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 NCT04499118, 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 5 Aug 2020.
