Evidence of metastatic breast cancer according to the standard classification of tumor development. 4. Evidence of inflammatory breast cancer. 5. Evidence of sensory or motor neuropathy at baseline. 6. Clinical history and intercurrent diseases 7. Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) confirmed. 8.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:The rate of RCp is defined as the number of patients that achieve a CR between the total number of patients that enter this analysis. The pCR will be defined as absence of histological evidence of residual invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast and lymph nodes of the axilla, with or without the presence of DCIS in the breast. This histological evaluation will be performed in the lymph nodes of the breast and axilla, independently of the presence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) in breast tissue. Measure:Complete pathological response rate (RCp). Timepoints:4-6 weeks after the last chemotherapy. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:The clinical objective response rate is defined as the sum of the Complete Response (CR) plus the Partial Response (PR) rate. CR is defined as the total disappearance of clinically palpable detectable malignant disease and / or the disappearance of radiological evidence of the tumor in the breast and ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes (mammography, ultrasound, CT, MRI). RP is defined as the clinical evidence of a reduction of the total tumor size by ≥50% in the total sum of the diameters of the axillary and breast lesions, the same imaging methods used to evaluate the RC. Measure:Clinical objective response rate. Timepoints:4-6 weeks after the last chemotherapy. ; Outcome name:A peripheral blood sample will be obtained to extract DNA and study the genetic variation and response to the drug. A sample of the tumor tissue will be obtained for mRNA analysis before treatment with AC. Measure:Pharmacogenomics. Timepoints:Blood sample: At any time during the study. Tissue sample: Within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of AC. ; Outcome name:Criterion 1: Clinical evaluation of all unwanted medical events, which occur after the administration of the research drug. The severity of these will be determined by NCI s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 3). Criterion 2: Panels of hematology and serum chemistry. Criterion 3: Determination of the number of interruptions, dose reductions or suspension of treatment, due to drug-related toxicity. Measure:Safety: 1) Frequency of all adverse events. 2) Abnormalities in laboratory tests. 3) Frequency of dose interruptions, dose reductions and suspension of treatment due to toxicity. Timepoints:Criteria 1 and 2: Weekly during treatment and during follow-up. Criterion 3: When the event occurs. | — |
