Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Metronomic Chemotherapy in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose This neoadjuvant chemotherapy protocol focusing on "triple-negative" breast cancers alone will gather a foundation of primary tumor and axillary lymph nodal response to primary chemotherapy and ongoing correlated disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) outcome data. This comparative data can then be used in building subsequent trials.
ConditionBreast Cancer

Brief Summary
This neoadjuvant chemotherapy protocol focusing on "triple-negative" breast cancers alone
will gather a foundation of primary tumor and axillary lymph nodal response to primary
chemotherapy and ongoing correlated disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) outcome
data. This comparative data can then be used in building subsequent trials.
Detailed Description
Women with a diagnosed "triple-negative" proxy of basal-like breast cancer confirmed on a
core biopsy and larger than 2 cm will be treated neoadjuvantly with the Livingston
metronomic regimen of 12 weeks of weekly doxorubicin 24 mg/m2 and daily oral
cyclophosphamide 60 mg/m2 followed by 12 successive weeks of taxol 80 mg/m2 and carboplatin
AUC 2. Although clinical response will be evaluated prior to surgery, the primary end-point
is the pathologic response. Secondary end-points will be DFS and OS based upon standard of
care surveillance. A pathologic complete response (pCR) will require no histologic evidence
of residual malignant cells seen in the primary tumor area specimen or the lymph nodes.
Standard of care surgery and radiation therapy will be undertaken.
