Study summary

Worldwide, breast cancer is the most incident and prevalent cancer among women. Despite advances in the treatment of advanced breast cancer (ABC) during the past decade, adjuvant systemic therapy has yield little progression for such patients. ABC remains an incurable disease, responsible for approximate 40,000 deaths annually and a median life expectancy of no more than 3 years. The NCCN guidelines clearly define routine adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for the early breast cancer, however, for the patients with recurrence and metastasis, the choice of treatment options is not clear. In this trial, we choose the patients with disease progression who received anthracycline and taxane adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. The patients received vinorelbine and gemcitabine (NG) or vinorelbine and platinum (NP) regiments for 6 cycles. Then the patients with complete response (CR), partly response (PR) and stable disease(SD) will be assigned to 3 groups, one group will receive the original regiment for 3 cycles to maintain treatment, one group will receive the vinorelbine for 6 cycles, the other group will receive the capecitabine for 6 cycles. Trasuzumab will be used to patients if HER-2 positive. Endocrine therapy will be used if the hormone receptors positive after the chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is to assess disease-free survival (DFS), the secondary endpoint is to assess the overall survival (OS).

Read the detailed description

The trial is designed to help us to choose the maintain treatment regiment for the patients with effective first-line salvage therapy. After inorelbine and gemcitabine (NG) or vinorelbine and platinum (NP) regiments for 6 cycles, patients will be assess the effect of treatment. As for the patients with complete response (CR), partly response (PR) and stable disease(SD), the investigators will randomly assign them to receive 3 cycles of original regiment, or 6 cycles of vinorelbine, or 6 cycles of capecitabine. Trasuzumab will be used to patients if HER-2 positive. Endocrine therapy will be used if the hormone receptors positive after the chemotherapy. The effectiveness of therapy will be estimated after the maintain therapy. The first two years the patient was prescribed every 3 months to review the disease, then review the disease every six months. The primary endpoint is to assess disease-free survival (DFS), the secondary endpoint is to assess the overall survival (OS).

Inclusion criteria

  • All patients were required to give written .
  • Patients with distant who primary received anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy after surgery.
  • After inorelbine and gemcitabine (NG) or vinorelbine and platinum (NP) regiments for 6 cycles,patients were assessed the effect of treatment. As for the patients with complete response (CR), partly response (PR) and stable disease(SD).
  • Have normal cardiac functions by echocardiography
  • scores are ≤ 0-1.
  • Patients are disposed to practice during the whole trial.
  • The results of patients' blood tests are as follows:

≥ 90 g/L WBC ≥ 3.0×109/L Plt ≥ 100×109/L Neutrophils ≥ 1.5×109/L and AST ≤ 2.5 times of normal upper limit. ≤ 1.5 times of normal upper limit. Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times of normal upper limit.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have other cancers at the same time or have the history of other cancers in recent five years, excluding the controlled skin basal cell carcinoma or skin squamous cell carcinoma or carcinoma in situ of cervix.
  • Active infections.
  • Severe non-cancerous diseases.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
