Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Proven infiltrating breast cancer with either a primary tumor over 2 cm in size (MRI or ultrasound examination) and/or cytologically proven spread to the axillary lymph nodes. - Patients with 'locally advanced breast cancer' are consequently eligible, including those with ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastases. - The tumor must be HER2/neu-negative (either score 0 or 1 at immunohistochemistry or negative at in situ hybridization [CISH or FISH] in case of score 2 or 3 at immunohistochemistry). - The tumor must be Estrogen receptor (ER) -negative ( 3.0 x 109/l, platelets > 100 x 109/l). - Adequate hepatic function (ALAT, ASAT and bilirubin 60 ml/min). - Informed consent Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 270 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Previous radiation therapy or chemotherapy. - Other malignancy except carcinoma in situ, unless the other malignancy was treated 5 or more years ago with curative intent without the use of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. - Pregnancy or breast feeding. - Evidence of distant metastases. Staging examinations must have included a chest roentgenogram, an ultrasound examination of the liver and an isotope bone scan. Abnormal uptake on the isotope bone scan can only be accepted if bone metastases were excluded by MRI
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At surgery after neo adjuvant chemotherapy; 12-16 weeks after start chemotherapy;Secondary Objective: Secondary endpoint (HRD tumors): Recurrence-free survival and overall survival after intensified alkylating therapy in comparison to that after ‘standard’ neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Secondary endpoint (non-HRD tumors): Recurrence-free survival and overall survival. ;Main Objective: Primary endpoint (HRD tumors): Average Neoadjuvant Response Index (NRI) after intensified alkylating therapy in comparison to that after ‘standard’ neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The NRI incorporates the frequently employed (and widely accepted) endpoint of pathologic Complete Remission (pCR). Primary endpoint (non-HRD tumors): Average Neoadjuvant Response Index (NRI) of the ‘regimen switching’ policy (‘standard treatment’) versus the conditional switching policy. This part of the study will collect preliminary data required to plan for a larger (adequately powered) study. ;Primary end point(s): Primary endpoint (HRD tumors): Average Neoadjuvant Response Index (NRI) after intensified alkylating therapy in comparison to that after ‘standard’ neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
