About this study
Official title: A 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
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.
- Conditions
- Breast Cancer
- Being tested
- Trastuzumab, Doxorubicin, Paclitaxel, CMF

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Event-Free Survival (EFS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event
EFS was defined as the time between randomization and date of documented occurrence of disease recurrence or progression (local, regional, distant or contralateral) or death due to any cause.
Measured: Baseline (BL), Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter
Event-Free Survival
The median time, in months, between randomization and date of documented occurrence of an EFS event.
Measured: BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter
Percentage of Participants Event Free at 1 Year
Measured: BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter
Percentage of Participants Event Free at 2 Years
Measured: BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter
Percentage of Participants Event Free at 3 Years
Measured: BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter
Secondary outcomes (8)
Percentage of Participants With Breast Pathological Complete Response (bpCR)
bpCR was defined as an absence of any invasive cancer cell of the primary tumor at the time of major surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with and without trastuzumab.
Measured: BL, Day 1 of Cycles 1-10 (pre-surgery)
Percentage of Participants With Total Pathological Complete Response (tpCR)
tpCR was defined as a determination of bpCR and an absence of positive axillary nodes on pathology.
Measured: BL, Day 1 of Cycles 1-10 (pre-surgery)
Percentage of Participants Achieving Either Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) According to Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria
Assessments were made based on objective tumor measurements of the lesions as recorded in the case report form. In inflammatory cancer, progressive disease (PD) was defined as progression of any of the 2 signs of breast edema and erythema. In non-inflammatory cancer, PD was concluded if either the investigator judged the participant as having progressed at any time prior to surgery, or there was at least a 20% increase in the sum of target lesions (TLs), any new lesion, or clear progression of any nontarget lesion (NTLs). Clear progression of any NTL was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of NTLs compared to BL. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease from BL in the sum of the longest diameter of TLs. CR was defined as no PD as assessed by the investigator and complete disappearance of all lesions.
Measured: BL, Presurgery: Day 1 of Cycles 1-10
Overall Survival (OS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event
OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the death due to any cause.
Measured: BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter

Percentage of Participants Surviving at 1 Year
Measured: BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Trastuzumab, Doxorubicin and Paclitaxel in people with Breast Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 36 sites in 6 countries.
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 1 inclusion and 1 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 28 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 36 sites in Italy, Spain, Russia, Austria, Germany and 1 more country. 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 28 Oct 2014). 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?
Event-Free Survival (EFS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event (time frame: Baseline (BL), Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Oct 2014.
