Preoperative Cisplatin and Bevacizumab in ER-, PR-, HER2 Negative Breast Cancer

May 6, 2021 updated by: Steven J Isakoff, MD, PhD, Massachusetts General Hospital

A Phase II Trial of Preoperative Cisplatin and Bevacizumab in Estrogen Receptor (ER) Negative, Progesterone (PR) Negative, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) Negative Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to find out what effect taking cisplatin in combination with bevacizumab before surgery and then standard chemotherapy plus bevacizumab after surgery will have on participants with Estrogen Receptor (ER) negative, Progesterone Receptor (PR) negative and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer. Cisplatin is used to destroy cancer cells in many types of cancers, and has shown to be effective and have manageable side effects. Bevacizumab is an antibody, which is a protein that attacks a foreign substance in the body. Bevacizumab slows or stops cell growth in cancerous tumors by decreasing the blood supply to the tumors.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  • To prepare for surgery, a small "clip" will be placed into the tumor area so that the surgeon can locate the site of the tumor at the time of surgery. This is a standard procedure for breast cancer.
  • The study drugs will be given in four 3-week cycles (about 3 months). Participants will come into the clinic each day they receive study treatment intravenously. Cisplatin will be given on day one of the treatment cycle (once every 3 weeks) for four cycles. Bevacizumab will be given on day one of the treatment cycle for three cycles.
  • On day one of each 3-week cycle a physical exam, routine blood tests and urine test will be performed. 7-8 days after chemotherapy, blood tests and a hearing test will be performed. A preoperative study visit will take place 7-10 days before surgery and a physical exam, routine blood tests, Electrocardiogram (EKG) and an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the breast will be performed.
  • Surgery to remove the tumor will occur at least three weeks after the last dose of cisplatin and is considered standard of care.
  • Postoperative chemotherapy will begin at least three weeks after surgery. Everyone on the research study will receive four 2-week cycles of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide plus bevacizumab. After the 8 weeks, the doctor will decide which of the following two treatment regimens the participant will receive: Bevacizumab for four 2-week cycles (once every two weeks) or; Paclitaxel plus bevacizumab for four 2-week cycles (once every two weeks).
  • At the end of the postoperative chemotherapy, the participant will return to the clinic for a medical history, physical exam, vital signs, performance status, routine blood tests, multiple gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or Echocardiogram Scans, and a hearing test.

Phase

Phase

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pathologic Complete Response Rate After Preoperative Therapy With Cisplatin and Bevacizumab in ER-, PR-, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) -Negative Early Breast Cancer.
Time Frame: 2 years
The goal of this measure was to determine the pathologic complete response rate (Miller-Payne (MP) score 5) after preoperative therapy with cisplatin and bevacizumab in ER-, PR-, HER2-negative early breast cancer.
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical Overall and Complete Response Rates After Preoperative Therapy With Cisplatin and Bevacizumab
Time Frame: 2 years
Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
2 years
Toxicity of Administering Bevacizumab in Combination With Standard Adjuvant Chemotherapy.
Time Frame: 2 years
Number of patients who were unable to receive all cycles of chemotherapy on time for toxicity reasons.
2 years
Patients With Miller-Payne (MP) Score 3, 4, or 5 Response
Time Frame: 2 years
To describe a panel of molecular assays for an association with clinical response and, if feasible, with pathologic complete response (pCR) in ER-, PR-, HER2-negative subjects treated with cisplatin and bevacizumab in the preoperative setting. A Miller-Payne (MP) score of 3 indicates a decrease in the size of the cancer by 30% to 90%. A MP score of 4 indicates marked decrease in the size of the cancer by greater than 90%. A MP score of 5 indicates there is no residual cancer remaining (the same as a pathologic complete response).
