This is a prospective, non-blinded randomized phase III trial. Patients will be post-surgically stratified at inclusion first according to the participating institution, then according to menopausal status and will be randomly assigned to receive either:
- TAC: Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 as a 1 hour intravenous (i.v.) infusion on day 1 every 3 weeks (q3w) in combination with doxorubicin 50 mg/m2 as an i.v. bolus and cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2 as an i.v. bolus on day 1 every 3 weeks.
- FAC: 5-fluorouracil 500 mg/m2 as an i.v. bolus on day 1 every 3 weeks in combination with doxorubicin 50 mg/m2 as an i.v. bolus and cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2 as an i.v. bolus on day 1 every 3 weeks.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Disease-free Survival (DFS) Events
DFS is calculated from the date of randomization until the first date of recurrence local, regional or distant, second primary tumor or death.
Measured: 10 years
Secondary outcomes (7)
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was determined from the date of randomization until the date of death for any reason.
OS is calculated from the date of randomization up to the first date of death by any cause.
Measured: 10 years
The Number of Participants Who Experienced Adverse Events (AE)
Safety was assessed by standard clinical and laboratory tests (haematology, serum chemistry). AE grade were defined by the NCI CTCAE (National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) version 1.0.
Measured: Through study treatment, and average of 4 months
Best Score During Study for Global Health Status Scale
The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) was used.
Questionnaires were self-administered to patients during the 14 days prior to randomisation baseline, at six prospective time points corresponding to chemotherapy cycles, with the time window related to each chemotherapy cycle defined as the period between the day following the first chemotherapy dose of the corresponding cycle and the day of the first dose of the following cycle, and then at 44, 68 and 120 weeks of the study.
The Global Health Status Scale has been used, which is calculated with questions 29 and 30 from the EORTC QLQ-C30. From this scale, the best score is the highest score observed during study (of all the questionnaires completed by patient). In this scale, scores range from 0 to 100 and a high score represents a high level of functioning or HRQoL.
Measured: 120 weeks
Number of Disease Free Survival Events in Hormone-receptor Positive and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) Positive Status Subgroup
Hormone-receptor status and HER2 receptor status was analysed in Paraffin-embedded tumor samples obtained at the time of surgery, and were processed centrally. Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is defined as the interval from the date of randomization to the date of local, regional or metastatic relapse or the date of second primary cancer or death from any cause whichever occurs first.
Measured: 10 year
Disease Free Survival in Hormonal Receptor Positive and HER2 Negative Subgroup
Hormone-receptor status and HER2 receptor status was analysed in Paraffin-embedded tumor samples obtained at the time of surgery, and were processed centrally.
Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is defined as the interval from the date of randomization to the date of local, regional or metastatic relapse or the date of second primary cancer or death from any cause whichever occurs first.
Measured: 10 year
Disease Free Survival in Hormonal Receptor Negative and HER2 Positive Subgroup
Hormone-receptor status and HER2 receptor status was analysed in Paraffin-embedded tumor samples obtained at the time of surgery, and were processed centrally.
Measured: 10 year
Disease Free Survival in Hormonal Receptor Negative and HER2 Negative Subgroup
Hormone-receptor status and HER2 receptor status was analysed in Paraffin-embedded tumor samples obtained at the time of surgery, and were processed centrally. Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is defined as the interval from the date of randomization to the date of local, regional or metastatic relapse or the date of second primary cancer or death from any cause whichever occurs first.
Measured: 10 year

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Docetaxel, 5-fluorouracil and Doxorubicin in people with Breast Neoplasms, run by Spanish Breast Cancer Research Group at 1 site in Spain.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Dec 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Disease-free Survival (DFS) Events (time frame: 10 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00121992, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Apr 2023.
