12 weekS Adjuvant dOcetaxel Plus trastuzumaB in Patients With Tumors ≤1cm, Node-negative, HER2-positive Breast cancER (SOBER):a Single-grouparm, Open-label, Prospective, Phase 2 Study

This phase II trial aims to study the efficacy and safety of 12 weeks adjuvant docetaxel plus trastuzumab in patients with tumors ≤1cm, node-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

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

Many clinical trials has showed the superiority of combining trastuzumab to chemotherapy in the treatment of HER2 positive early breast cancer with tumor size ≥1cm or node metastasis.But in pT1n0m0 breast cancer patients, patients with HER2 positive tumor show worse prognosis than those with HER2 negative tumor.A short duration of trastuzumab administration contaminately with chemotherapy may have similar efficacy and lowerer toxiticy compared with standard one year therapy.Our study aims to study the efficacy and safety of 12 weeks adjuvant docetaxel plus trastuzumab in patients with tumors ≤1cm, node-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer.

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.

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
Disease-free Survival
Time Frame: 3-year estimates

Disease-free survival is defined as the time from the date of surgery to the first appearance of one of the following: breast cancer in situ or invasive breast cancer recurrence at local, regional, or distant site, invasive contralateral breast cancer, second (non-breast) invasive cancer, or death without cancer event; or censored at date of last follow-up.
3-year estimates

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
Breast Cancer Specific Survival
Time Frame: 3-year estimates

Defined as the time from the date of surgery to death from breast cancer relapse; or censored at date last known alive.
