Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients meeting any ONE of the following criteria are not eligible for this study: 1. History of prior malignant disease (breast or non-breast) or non-malignant condition which was treated with chemotherapy, pelvic irradiation or any therapy that could potentially affect ovarian function. 2. Previous history of amenorrhea > 3 months within the last 2 years (excluding pregnancy). 3. Ovarian insufficiency defined as serum FSH > 20 IU/L at the local laboratory, anytime during the menstrual cycle. 4.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: - Evaluate the impact of a cyclophosphamide-free regimen on the ovarian function recovery defined as menstrual resumption within 12 months following the end of chemotherapy - Evaluate the impact of a cyclophosphamide-free regimen on the development of ovarian failure defined as serum FSH >40 IU/L at 12 months following the end of chemotherapy ;Secondary Objective: - Evaluate the impact of a cyclophosphamide-free regimen on having an adequate ovarian reserve defined as serum AMH >1 ng/ml at 12 months following the end of chemotherapy - Evaluate the correlation between AMH level at initiation and ovarian function after treatment - Evaluate the impact of a cyclophosphamide-free regimen on the behavior of menstruation after resumption - Evaluate the impact of a cyclophosphamide-free regimen on sexual function - Evaluate the impact of the AP-P regimen on peripheral neurotoxicity - Evaluate the rate of pregnancy following cessation of chemotherapy - Evaluate the impact of a cyclophosphamide-free regimen on event-free survival - Evaluate ovarian function recovery and ovarian reserve at 24 months;Primary end point(s): - Ovarian function recovery - Ovarian failure rate;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - Menstruation resumption rates rates particulary the continutation of menses at months 18,24,36,48 and 60 - Serum follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) levels measured at 12 months after EOC | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Ovarian function recovery and ovarian reserve at 24 months and 60 months after the end of chemotherapy (EOC) - Behavior of menstruation after resumption - Sexual function - Peripheral neurotoxicity - Rate of pregnancy following cessation of chemotherapy - Event-free survival;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - Serum AMH levels at 24 months after the EOC - Behavior of menstruation after resumption of menses at after cycle 4 of chemotherapy, EOC, 6 months after EOC, 18 months after EOC, 6,12,18,24,36,48 months after EOC, at end of study (60 months after EOC) - Sexual function after cycle 4 of chemotherapy (end of AP x 4), EOC, 6 months after EOC, 12 months after EOC, 24 months after EOC, at end of study (60 months after EOC) - Peripheral neuropathy after cycle 4 of chemotherapy (end of AP x 4), EOC, 6 months after EOC, 12 months after EOC, 24 months after EOC, at end of study (60 months after EOC) - Rate of pregnancy after EOC until end of study - Event-free survival until end of study | — |
