Conditions

Localized Breast Cancer

Keywords

breast cancer, G-CSF, Epirubicin-cyclophosphamide dose-dense

Brief summary

Patients including of localized breast cancer will require chemotherapy treatment with epirubicin - cyclophosphamide (EC) followed by treatment with docetaxel or paclitaxel. In addition to this chemotherapy, the investigator will prescribe injections of granulocyte growth factors (G-CSF), to stimulate the growth of white blood cells. Patients will be randomized to either a peg-G-CSF arm or a G-CSF arm, prescribed at different times. The aim is to determine whether one of the two treatment regimens best limits the risk of a decrease in white blood cells

Detailed description

For this tudy : patients will be randomized to either : * with administration of peg-G-CSF (administration on D2) * with administration of G-CSF (administration on D4 to D7 or D8) This study aims to model the effect of exogenous G-CSF for the evolution of polymorphonuclear neutrophils as a function of time and to explain the pharmacodynamic variability during the administration of chemotherapy such as EC-dense dose administered as an adjuvant or neo-adjuvant in patients treated for localized breast cancer.

Interventions

DRUGDense dose epirubicin-cyclophosphamide chemotherapy and G-CSF (filgrastim, lenograstim)

\- Arm 1: 2 cycles of chemotherapy with administration of G-CSF (filgrastim or lenograstim) on D2, D4 to D7 or D8.. Realization of blood sampling at D1, D4, D8 and D14

DRUGDense dose epirubicin-cyclophosphamide chemotherapy with administration of peg-G-CSF (pegfilgrastim)

\- Arm 2: 2 cycles of chemotherapy with administration of peg-G-CSF (pegfilgrastim) on D2. Realization of blood sampling at D1, D4, D8 and D14

Intervention model description

Patients will be randomized : * Either to a peg-G-CSF arm (with administration of peg-G-CSF on D2) * Either to a G-CSF arm (with administration from D4 to D7 or D8). Blood samplig will be taken at D1, D4, D8 and D14 for each arm.
