GETNA2 Neoadj. TAX+Femara vs Femara in g I/II Breast Cancer

September 1, 2009 updated by: Sanofi

A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label, Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Neoadjuvant Treatment Consisting of Either a Docetaxel - Letrozole Combination or Letrozole Alone in Women Over 60 Years of Age Suffering From Grade I or II Operable Hormone Receptor-positive Breast Tumor.

Primarily to evaluate the rates of clinical and radiological response in the 2 groups. Secondarily rate of histological response.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female patients with breast cancer histologically proven by microbiopsy (14G or 16G) enabling confirmation of the diagnosis, and evaluation of the histological prognostic grade, hormonal receptors and HER2 status.
  • Tumor T2 or T3, non-metastasized, non-inflammatory, unilateral
  • Clinically or radiologically measurable lesion greater than 2 cm (ultrasound and/or mammogram)
  • Receptors RE+ and/or RP+ (positive status determined according to the criteria of the investigating centers)
  • HER 2 / neu status of 0, 1+ or 2+ in immunohistochemistry
  • Histological grade I or II
  • Menopausal patients aged greater than or equal to 60 years
  • Patients with ECOG PS greater than or equal to 2
  • Satisfactory hematological, hepatic and renal functions:
  • Hemoglobin greater than or equal to 10 g/dL
  • Platelet count greater than or equal to 100x109/L
  • Polynuclear neutrophil count greater than 1.5x109/L
  • Creatinine less than or equal to ≤ 1.5 ULN
  • AST/ALT less than or equal to 1.5 ULN
  • Alkaline phosphatases less than or equal to 2.5 ULN
  • Patients able to be followed throughout the study
  • Patient's consent obtained.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inflammatory or T4 breast cancer
  • T1 tumor

  • HER 2/neu positive at 3 +
  • Non-menopausal patients
  • Surgical biopsy and/or ganglion dissection before neoadjuvant treatment
  • Significant poorly controlled cardiac disorders, such as unstable angina pectoris, poorly controlled heart failure, arrhythmia requiring treatment, or myocardial infarction within the last 3 months
  • Cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological or endocrine disease, or other major systemic disease that makes it difficult to conduct the protocol or to interpret the results
  • Previous history of cancer that occurred within the last 10 years, with the exception of cervical cancers and basocellular skin cancers that were properly treated
  • Allergy to polysorbate 80
  • Hypersensitivity to docetaxel
  • Participation in another clinical trial with one of the study medicinal products during the 30 days prior to entry in the study
