A Study of Herceptin (Trastuzumab) in Combination Chemotherapy in Women With Locally Advanced Breast Cancer

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose This study will assess the efficacy and safety of adding Herceptin to a paclitaxel-containing regimen followed by cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/fluorouracil (CMF) chemotherapy in women with locally advanced breast cancer and HER2/c-erbB-2 gene amplification. In a parallel observational study patients with HER2-negative disease will receive the same chemotherapy without Herceptin.

Brief TitleA Study of Herceptin (Trastuzumab) in Combination Chemotherapy in Women With Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
Official TitleA Randomized, Open-label Study of the Effect of Paclitaxel, Doxorubicin, and CMF Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy, With and Without Herceptin, on Tumor Response in Women With HER2-positive Breast Cancer
Brief Summary
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of adding Herceptin to a
paclitaxel-containing regimen followed by cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/fluorouracil (CMF)
chemotherapy in women with locally advanced breast cancer and HER2/c-erbB-2 gene
amplification. In a parallel observational study patients with HER2-negative disease will
receive the same chemotherapy without Herceptin.

Study TypeInterventional
Study PhasePhase 3
Study DesignAllocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
ConditionBreast Cancer
InterventionDrug: trastuzumab [Herceptin]
Neoadjuvant: Loading dose of 8 mg/kg intravenous infusion (IV), subsequent doses were 6 mg/kg. Following surgery, adjuvant treatment with Herceptin could be re-started (loading dose 8 mg/kg IV, subsequent doses 6 mg/kg) before or during radiotherapy treatment until 1 year after starting.
Drug: Doxorubicin
Doxorubicin (60 mg/m2 intravenous [IV] infusion) every 3 weeks for 3 cycles
Drug: Paclitaxel
Paclitaxel 150 mg/m2 IV infusion every 3 weeks for 3 cycles in combination with doxorubicin, followed by paclitaxel alone 175 mg/m2 IV infusion every 3 weeks for 4 cycles
Drug: CMF
CMF: Cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2 IV bolus), methotrexate (40 mg/m2 IV bolus), 5-fluorouracil (600 mg/m2 IV bolus) every 4 weeks for 3 cycles
