Trial Outcomes & Findings for Trial Using Docetaxel Cytoxan in Breast Cancers With High Recurrence Scores (NCT NCT00832338)

NCT ID: NCT00832338

Last Updated: 2017-08-31

Results Overview

Patients were assessed for surgery after 6 cycles of TC (18 weeks). Pathologic stage was determined based on size of tumor and degree of lymph node involvement at the time of surgery, whereas clinical stage pre-operatively was determined by clinical assessment and imaging. If pathologic stage was the same as clinical stage, it was called stable; if it was higher, upstaged (worse outcome); if lower, downstaged (better outcome). Pathologic stage was determined by Emory board-certified pathologists.

Measure
Docetaxel With Cytoxan
Patients will be treated with docetaxel at 75 mg/m² concomitantly with cytoxan 600 mg/m² (TC) IV D1 every 3 weeks for 6 cycles. Due to known toxicity of docetaxel, all patients require dexamethasone 4 mg twice daily (BID) PO for 3 consecutive days starting 12-24 hours prior to each dose of docetaxel to minimize hypersensitivity reactions and fluid retention. Docetaxel with Cytoxan: Docetaxel 75 mg/m² plus cytoxan 600 mg/m² every 3 weeks for 6 cycles. Dexamethasone: Dexamethasone 4 mg BID PO for 3 consecutive days starting 12-24 hours prior to each dose of docetaxel.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At time of definitive surgery

Population: Staging information was not collected for two patients.

Patients were assessed for surgery after 6 cycles of TC (18 weeks). Pathologic stage was determined based on size of tumor and degree of lymph node involvement at the time of surgery, whereas clinical stage pre-operatively was determined by clinical assessment and imaging. If pathologic stage was the same as clinical stage, it was called stable; if it was higher, upstaged (worse outcome); if lower, downstaged (better outcome). Pathologic stage was determined by Emory board-certified pathologists.
