Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel plus carboplatin (TCb) regimen compared with conventional chemotherapy regimen (epirubicin plus cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel, EC-T) regimen as adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with early-stage high-risk estrogen receptor (ER) positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative (ER+/HER2-) breast cancer.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

TCb arm

Chemotherapy: Intensive intravenous dose of docetaxel (75 mg/m2) + intravenous (IV) carboplatin \[area under the curve (AUC) =5-6\] repeated administration of Q3W for a total of 6 doses

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Docetaxel

Intervention Type DRUG

Docetaxel is a taxoid antineoplastic agent used in the treatment of breast cancer

Carboplatin

Intervention Type DRUG

Carboplatin is a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis inhibitor which binds to DNA, inhibits replication and transcription and induces cell death.

EC-T arm

Chemotherapy: Intensive intravenous dose of epirubicin (80-90 mg/m2) + IV cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2) repeated administration of Q3W for a total of 4 doses, followed by (IV) docetaxel (80 mg/m2) (Q3W) for 4 doses

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Docetaxel

Intervention Type DRUG

Docetaxel is a taxoid antineoplastic agent used in the treatment of breast cancer

Epirubicin

Intervention Type DRUG

Epirubicin is an antineoplastic agent derived from doxorubicin.Epirubicin, like doxorubicin, exerts its antitumor effects by interference with the synthesis and function of DNA and is most active during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Cyclophosphamide

Intervention Type DRUG

Cyclophosphamide is a nitrogen mustard that exerts its anti-neoplastic effects through alkylation.
