Expected Enrollment A total of 3,150 patients (1,050 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this
study within 2.5 years. Outline This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified
according to participating center, nodal status (node negative vs 1-3 positive
nodes vs 4 or more positive nodes), and estrogen and/or progesterone receptor
status (positive vs negative). Patients are randomized to one of three
treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients receive doxorubicin IV over 5-15 minutes and
cyclophosphamide IV over 5-60 minutes on day 1 every 3 weeks for 4 courses.
Beginning 3 weeks after the last course of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide,
patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour every 3 weeks for 4 courses.
- Arm II: Patients receive doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide as in arm I.
Beginning 3 weeks after the last course of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide,
patients receive trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1, 8,
and 15. Patients also receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 2 for the first
course and on day 1 for all subsequent courses. Treatment repeats every 3
weeks for 4 courses. After completion of the last course, patients continue
to receive trastuzumab once weekly until 1 year from date of initial
trastuzumab dose.
- Arm III: Patients receive trastuzumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1,
8, and 15. Patients also receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour and either
carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes or cisplatin IV over at least 1 hour on day
2 for the first course and on day 1 for all subsequent courses. Treatment
repeats every 3 weeks for a total of 6 courses. After completion of the last
course, patients continue to receive trastuzumab once weekly until 1 year from
date of initial trastuzumab dose.
Patients with estrogen and/or progesterone receptor-positive disease
receive oral tamoxifen daily for 5 years beginning 3-4 weeks after the
completion of chemotherapy. Patients may undergo radiotherapy beginning 3-8 weeks after completion
of chemotherapy. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, before courses 1, 3, and 5 (and
before course 7 on arms I and II), at 3-4 weeks after the last course of
chemotherapy, every 3 months for 2 years, and then at relapse. Patients are followed at 1 month, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6
months for 3 years, and then annually for 5 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol. Back to Top |
