Primary Chemotherapy With Anthracycline Followed by Nab-paclitaxel and Trastuzumab

April 21, 2015 updated by: Satoru Tanaka, Osaka Medical College

Phase II Study of Primary Chemotherapy With Anthracycline-based Regimen Followed by Nab-paclitaxel and Trastuzumab in Patients With HER2 Positive Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in terms of the pathological complete response (pCR) rate and the efficacy to preoperative administration of Anthracycline-based regimen followed by Nab-paclitaxel and Trastuzumab in patients with HER2 positive operable breast cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Four cycles of anthracycline-based regimen followed by four cycles of Nab-paclitaxel and Trastuzumab are administrated.

Anthracycline-based regimen (d1, q3w):

EC (Epirubicin 90mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2) AC (Doxorubicin 60mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2) FEC (Fluorouracil 500mg/m2, Epirubicin 100mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide 500mg/m2)

Nab-paclitaxel 260mg/m2 (d1, q3w)

Trastuzumab (d1, q3w) is given at a dose of 8 mg/kg IV on day 1 of the first treatment cycle over 90 min, and subsequently given at a dose of 6 mg/kg over 30 min.
