Design

Randomization: Arm A: 4xAC followed by 4 D Arm B: 6xTAC

Objectives

To compare the efficacy and tolerability of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with AC followed by T (adriamycine, cyclophosphamide, taxotere) versus TAC (with upfront T) in patients with large resectable or locally advanced breast cancer.

Endpoints

Primary endpoint

  • Pathologic complete response (pCR) rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy at surgery.

Secondary endpoints:

  • The delivered chemotherapy dose and dose-intensity of both chemotherapy regimens.
  • The tolerability (grade 3 / 4 CTC toxicities) of both chemotherapy regimens.
  • The clinical responses (partial and complete according to RECIST) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy correlated to pathological responses after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
  • The value of breast MRI in evaluating response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy as compared to clinical palpation, ultrasound techniques and histo-pathological outcome.
  • The false-negative rate of the sentinal node (SN) biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
  • The disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) after 3 and 5 years follow-up.
  • The relation between pCR and DFS/OS.
  • The feasibility of the criteria for reporting pathological tumour response in surgical breast and axillary node resection specimens.
  • The prognostic and predictive value of tumour- and molecular markers, including ER, PgR, c-erbB2, microarray and other tumour characteristic analyses.

Eligibility Criteria

Large resectable or locally advanced breast cancer (T2 ≥3 cm, T3, or T4, and/or LN positive) Measurable disease ≥18 years and ≤70 years Excluded are pts with advanced pulmonary disease of any cause (oxygen dependent)
