Neoadjuvant Carboplatin, Weekly Abraxane and Trastuzumab in HER2+ Breast Cancer

May 28, 2020 updated by: William Sikov MD

BrUOG-BR-211B q3week Carboplatin With Weekly Abraxane and Trastuzumab As Neoadjuvant Therapy in Resectable and Unresectable HER2+ (Stage IIa-IIIb) Breast Cancer

Q3week carboplatin with weekly abraxane and trastuzumab as neoadjuvant therapy in resectable and unresectable HER2+ (stage IIa-IIIb) breast cancer

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Our goal is to develop an induction chemotherapy regimen that will have a pCR rate above 50% in HER2+ patients without exposing patients to the toxicity of an anthracycline-based regimen. A minimum of 60 evaluable patients will be accrued to the study. We are assuming an observed pCR (or near pCR) rate of 70%. Assuming no more than 10% of patients will be inevaluable for the primary endpoint (pCR), we will have at least 54 evaluable patients. With this number, we will have 90% power, with a 1-sided alpha error of 0.05, to demonstrate a pCR rate exceeding 50% for our novel regimen.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Patients With Complete Pathologic Response Rate, Observed Following Treatment With q3week Carboplatin, Weekly Abraxane and Weekly Trastuzumab in Resectable and Unresectable LABC;
Time Frame: 1 year
These numbers represent patients with a RCB score of zero (0). RCB stands for residual cancer burden.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patients Affected by Toxicities of Regimen During Treatment, Including Grade >2 Neurotoxicity the Incidence of Subclinical and Clinical Cardiac Toxicity
Time Frame: 1 year
Please note that these events represent toxicities that were experienced during treatment, but that does not mean that all toxicities were indeed deemed related to study treatment.
