Genetic Expression and Prediction of Response to Neoadjuvant Docetaxel or Doxorubicin in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose After a core biopsy of the tumor is obtained, patients with locally advanced breast cancer are randomized to receive 4 cycles of full dose doxorubicin (75 mg/m2 e3w) or docetaxel (100 mg/m2 e3w). After the fourth cycle, patients are submitted to surgery to ascertain pathological response. They then receive the opposite drug, hormones, Herceptin, and radiation as indicated.

Official TitlePatterns of Genetic Expression Associated to Sensibility to Doxorubicin Versus Docetaxel as Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
Brief Summary
After a core biopsy of the tumor is obtained, patients with locally advanced breast cancer
are randomized to receive 4 cycles of full dose doxorubicin (75 mg/m2 e3w) or docetaxel (100
mg/m2 e3w). After the fourth cycle, patients are submitted to surgery to ascertain
pathological response. They then receive the opposite drug, hormones, Herceptin, and
radiation as indicated.
Detailed Description
The aim of the study is to define the genetic signature which predicts the response to
single drug doxorubicin versus docetaxel. 250 patients will be included. cDNA microarrays
will be produced and the genetic pattern will be correlated with the response to doxorubicin
and docetaxel. Secondary aim is the prediction of response by means of IHC determinations
(her2, ER, PgR, Ki67, protein TAU), FISH (topoisomerase II alpha, her2) and PCR
(topoisomerase II alpha).
