About this study
Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Supplement Adjuvant Capecitabine in Postoperative Hormone Receptor (HR)-Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-Negative High-risk Breast Cancer Patients: a Multicenter, Single-arm Clinical Trial
According to the latest data from the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) for 2020, breast cancer has been the most prevalent cancer with 2.26 million new cases. Among Chinese breast cancer patients, approximately 60% are hormone receptor (HR) positive, and 80% have early-stage breast cancer. For HR-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer patients, the first peak of recurrence is about 2-3 years after surgery, especially for patients with high-risk clinical and/or pathological features. Therefore, adjuvant therapy is essential to reduce recurrence during this period.
Capecitabine is an anti-metabolite fluoropyrimidine deoxynucleoside carbamate that can be converted to fluorouracil (5-Fu) in vivo. Studies have shown that patients with HR-positive HER2-negative breast cancer with high-risk factors may benefit from postoperative adjuvant capecitabine therapy as well as patients with triple-negative breast cancer. Therefore, we assumed that additional capecitabine may reduce the reccurence of breast cancer in patients with high-risk factors.
This trial is an open, single-arm clinical trial designed to investigate the effect of additional adjuvant capecitabine therapy on recurrence and survival in HR-positive HER2-negative breast cancer patients with high-risk factors.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CapecitabineDrug
capecitabine, 0.5g per pill, given 1250mg/m2 twice a day for 2 weeks of the 3-week treatment course. The total duration of treatment is 8 courses.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| capecitabine group | Experimental | All enrolled cases should be given standard chemotherapy, radiotherapy and endocrine therapy according to the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) guidelines for the treatment of breast cancer, with the specific regimen decided by the doctor according to the condition. After the completion of standard chemotherapy, capecitabine 1250mg/m2 should be given orally twice a day for 2 weeks of the 3-week treatment course, and the total duration of treatment is 8 courses, which can be given simultaneously with radiotherapy and endocrine therapy. Premenopausal patients may use ovarian suppressants as needed. Receives: Drug: Capecitabine |

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
According to the latest data from the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) for 2020, breast cancer has been the most prevalent cancer with 2.26 million new cases. Among Chinese breast cancer patients, approximately 60% are hormone receptor (HR) positive, and 80% have early-stage breast cancer.

Therefore, adjuvant therapy is essential to reduce recurrence during this period.
Capecitabine is an anti-metabolite fluoropyrimidine deoxynucleoside carbamate that can be converted to fluorouracil (5-Fu) in vivo. Studies have shown that patients with HR-positive HER2-negative breast cancer with high-risk factors may benefit from postoperative adjuvant capecitabine therapy as well as patients with triple-negative breast cancer.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Capecitabine in people with Breast Cancer and Chemotherapy Effect, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 1 site in China.
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 7 inclusion and 8 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 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 China. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Wei Tian, Doctor (+86 13777825246, denyiweit@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
disease free survival (time frame: 5 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 NCT05212454, which also lists 7 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 25 Apr 2023.
