Study summary

This study will look at effects the combination of palbociclib and dose-dense neoadjuvant chemotherapy may have on triple negative breast cancer tumours which have not yet been treated.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be randomized to one of two treatment arms (1:1 ratio). Dose-Dense neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the first 8 weeks of will be: epirubicin (90mg/m2) and cyclophosphamide (600mg/m2), followed by paclitaxel (80mg / m2) after 8 weeks, cycled every 14 days for total 8 cycles.

Palbociclib will be administered orally as 125mg capsules, daily on a schedule of 3 weeks (21 days) on, 1 week (7 days) off of a 4 week [28 days] cycle.

Arm I: Palbociclib combined with Dose-Dense neoadjuvant chemotherapy for total 16 weeks.

Arm II: Placebo combined with Dose-Dense neoadjuvant chemotherapy for total 16 weeks.

Note:

Following completion of study therapy, surgery will be scheduled for 18-20 weeks post-randomization.

Post-surgical treatment will be at the discretion of treating clinician, following postoperative pathology.

After week 16 (end of study therapy) all patients should continue Palbociclib for one year.

Toxicity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0).

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Dec 2018; primary completion for Dec 2019, 12 months later.

Of 2,272 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 34 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 69. This study's planned 12 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 2,345 studies reached it within 34 months; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 69.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 7, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
