Dose Dense Carboplatin, Taxotere and Herceptin As Primary Systemic Therapy in Breast Cancer

July 16, 2012 updated by: Judith Hurley, University of Miami

Phase II Study of Dose Dense Carboplatin and Taxotere With Herceptin As Primary Systemic Therapy in Breast Cancer

Dose dense therapy has been shown to increase survival in the adjuvant setting of breast cancer. It is unknown if dose dense therapy will improve survival in tumors that express her-2. This study evaluates a neoadjuvant regimen containing carboplatin, taxotere and herceptin when used in a dose dense manner in patients with large breast cancers. The endpoint of pathologic complete response is used as a surrogate marker for survival.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Patients With Pathologic Complete Response (pCR)
Time Frame: determined at the time of surgery which is approximately 16 weeks from the beginning of treatment
pCR is defined as the absence of invasive tumor from the surgical specimen of breast and axilla which is obtained after the chemotherapy regimen has been delivered.
determined at the time of surgery which is approximately 16 weeks from the beginning of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety and Tolerability
Time Frame: from the first dose of chemotherapy until surgery which was approximately 16 weeks.
the number of patients with grade 4 (severe) toxicities and or hospitalizations were measured to assess safety and tolerability
from the first dose of chemotherapy until surgery which was approximately 16 weeks.
