"Phase II Study of PET Guided Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC) and Oncotype Guided Hormonal Therapy of Breast Cancer" (NACprotocol)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a novel neoadjuvant regimen for invasive breast carcinoma by using the MD Anderson residual cancer burden score.To prospectively evaluate the utility of the PET scan to guide the neoadjuvant treatment and the utility of the Oncotype test as a stratifier for treatment decisons in ER+/Her2- patients. To evaluate the clinical anti-tumor activity of neoadjuvant hormonal therapy in ER+/Her2 negative patients. To evaluate the prognostic factors associated associated with pathological response as measured by the residual cancer burden tool.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Infiltrating Duct and Lobular Carcinoma In Situ; Invasive Lobular Breast Carcinoma; Inflammatory Breast Carcinoma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Docetaxel, Epirubicin, Cyclophosphamide/Navelbine, Capecitabine, Trastuzumab, Bevacizumab; Drug: Docetaxel, Epirubicin, Cyclophosphamide/Navelbine, Capecitabine, Trastuzumab, Bevacizumab; Drug: Docetaxel, Epirubicin, Cyclophosphamide/Navelbine, Capecitabine, Trastuzumab, Bevacizumab

Detailed Description

Treatment propose of TEC-NAX for the triple negatives and for the Her2+ cases. For the Er+/Her2- cases, we propose to use the PET scan to guide therapy after the first course of TEC. Those who drop in SUV≤5%, will have their treatment modified by using the Oncotype test. Those Her2 negative patients whose response to the first 4 courses of induction TEC is less than a complete remission, will have their tretment changed to a second line regimen, Navelbine-Avastin-Xeloda(NAX), with the intention of capturing a better response prior to surgery. Those who are Her2+ will initially also receive TEC but subsequent therapy will include Trastuzumab(Herceptin) whether thet respond wellor not to TEC.

Participation Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Previously untreated (no chemotherapy, hormonal or radiation therapy)invasive breast cancer.
• Diagnosis of invasive ductal or lobular breast cancer plus or minus DCIS. Inflammatory carcinoma will also be elegible.
• Age≥ 18 years
• Only female patients are eligible

• Hepatic; Total bilirubin≤ULN AST and ALT and ALP do not have to be within the range. In determining eligibility the more abnormal of the two values(AST or ALT) should be use as per protocol table on p.24of 69.
• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test
• Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to consent to use effective contraception while on treatment and for at least 3 months thereafter.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnant or breast feeding patients are excluded
• Patients with second malignancies with expected survival<5 years
• Previous chemotherapy with Taxanes,Anthracyclines or Cyclophosphamide.

• Pure DCIS diagnoses are not elegible
• Special histologies with favorable prognosis such as mucinous, tubular are not elegible
• Patients with reduced ejection fraction<50% are not eligible
• Patients with tumors<1.0cm unless biopsy proven axillary node metastasis present.
• Cardiac thrombotic events in the past 12 months
• Stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIA) within 12 months
• poorly controlled hypertension defined as persistent blood pressure elevation˃150 systolic and/or 100 diastolic not responsive to medications.

• No minor surgical procedure within 7 days of study entry or major surgery within 28 days of study entry or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study.
