Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: Determine the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen DC-T and EC-T in suitable breast cancer patients.

Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  1. Arm I: Participants receive pegylated liposomal doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel before surgery.
  2. Arm II: Participants receive epirubicin plus cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel before surgery.

Patients in arms I and II will undergo physical examination, MRI, estimating of side effects every 4 cycles referring to RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumor) guideline. To adjust for potential bias, patients in DC-T arm were matched 1:1 to patients in the EC-T arm based on Her-2 and ER status. After finishing 8 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, every patient will receive mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery and then assess the pCR rate of primary lesion and axillary lymph nodes. Adjuvant radiotherapy and endocrine therapy will be taken if necessary. Every patient will be followed-up for five years to monitor survival condition.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. 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.

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.
