Study summary

This randomized controlled Phase III trial was designed to evaluate the impact of supplemental vitamin D (VD) on the efficacy and side effects of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a parallel-group, open-label randomized controlled trial designed to investigate the effects of supplemental vitamin D (VD) on the outcomes and side effects of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with breast cancer. Both groups will receive standard neoadjuvant therapy on day 1 and for each subsequent cycle. Additionally, vitamin D2 will be randomly administered to both groups.Blood samples and imaging results will be collected and analyzed prior to the initiation of neoadjuvant therapy and after every two cycles. Key outcomes to be recorded include the pathological complete response rate (pCR), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and grade III or higher adverse effects related to neoadjuvant therapy. The primary and secondary study findings, along with adverse events, will be thoroughly evaluated.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Neoadjuvant therapy + vitamin D2

    Before the start of treatment and every 3 weeks thereafter, participants will receive injections of vitamin D2 at a dosage of 10 mg until the completion of neoadjuvant therapy. They will undergo the standard neoadjuvant regimen, which includes the 10 mg injection of vitamin D2 per cycle during the therapy. The dosage of neoadjuvant drugs may be tailored based on the physician's clinical judgment.

    Drug: Neoadjuvant therapy + vitamin D2

  • Other
    Neoadjuvant therapy

    Participants will receive the standard neoadjuvant regimen during each cycle of neoadjuvant therapy. The dosage of the neoadjuvant drugs may be tailored based on the physician's clinical judgment.

    Drug: Neoadjuvant therapy

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The objective response rate

    Difference in change in the objective response rate from first to last assessment between two arms

    Time frame: 4-6months

  2. The pathological complete response rate

    Difference in change the pathological complete response rate from first to last assessment between two arms

    Time frame: 4-6months

Secondary outcomes

  1. The disease control rate

    Difference in change the disease control rate rate from first to last assessment between two arms

    Time frame: 4-6months

  2. Evaluation of side effects related to neoadjuvant therapy (CTCAE v5.0).

    Side effects of neoadjuvant therapy will be assessed according to the CTCAE v5.0 criteria.

    Time frame: From the initiation of neoadjuvant therapy to 21 days after the last cycle of neoadjuvant therapy.

  3. Pathological response assessment using the Miller & Payne scoring system in conjunction with residual disease in lymph nodes following neoadjuvant therapy.

    The pathological response will be assessed using the Miller \& Payne scoring system, considering residual disease in lymph nodes after neoadjuvant therapy.

    Time frame: 4-6months
