About this study

Official title: COX Inhibition and Biomarkers of Response During Neoadjuvant Chemoendocrine Therapy for Estrogen Receptor Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Negative Stage I-III Breast Cancer

This study is designed to assess the safety and clinical activity of tamoxifen and the COX inhibitor, aspirin, given in combination with standard AC-T chemotherapy (doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel) for the treatment of high-risk estrogen receptor (ER)+, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)- breast cancer. If successful, the study could improve long-term outcomes for a subpopulation of women with aggressive stage I-III ER+/HER2- breast cancer.

Being tested
Aspirin, Tamoxifen Pill, Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, Paclitaxel
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AspirinDrug

    325 mg aspirin daily during AC-T chemotherapy

  • Tamoxifen PillDrug

    Tamoxifen (either 20 mg daily or 10 mg twice a day) during AC-T chemotherapy

  • DoxorubicinDrug

    Also called Adriamycin

    Doxorubicin (60 mg/m2) Given by IV with cyclophosphamide

  • CyclophosphamideDrug

    Also called Cytoxan

    Cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2) Given by IV with doxorubicin

  • PaclitaxelDrug

    Also called Taxol

    Paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 or 175 mg/m2 based on provider preference. Given by IV after completion of doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide therapy

Study groups in NCT04038489
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Tamoxifen and Aspirin with AC-T ChemotherapyExperimentalAC-T chemotherapy includes 4 cycles of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide given every 2 or 3 weeks followed by either 12 weekly cycles of lower dose paclitaxel or 4 cycles of higher dose paclitaxel every 2 or 3 weeks. During this time, all participants would receive daily aspirin and daily tamoxifen. After the AC-T chemotherapy, participants will undergo standard of care surgery to remove any remaining tumor.
Receives: Drug: Aspirin; Drug: Tamoxifen Pill; Drug: Doxorubicin; Drug: Cyclophosphamide; Drug: Paclitaxel

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pathologic complete response (pCR) rate

    Rate of participants that no longer have any tumor identified at the time of surgery after chemotherapy

    Measured: At the time of surgery, following completion of AC-T chemotherapy, usually about 7.5 months

  2. Adverse events (AEs)

    Frequency of adverse events occurring during and shortly after the study intervention

    Measured: From time of informed consent through 30 days after completion of study intervention (for AEs) or 90 days after completion of study intervention (for Serious AEs)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Aspirin, Tamoxifen Pill and Doxorubicin in people with Breast Cancer and Estrogen Receptor-positive Breast Cancer, run by University of Virginia at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2021. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Pathologic complete response (pCR) rate (time frame: At the time of surgery, following completion of AC-T chemotherapy, usually about 7.5 months). The study lists 2 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 22 Nov 2021.
