A phase II study of metronomic paclitaxel + cyclophosphamide + capecitabine (PCX) followed by 5-fluorouracil + epirubicin + cyclophosphamide (FEC) as preoperative chemotherapy for triple negative or low hormone receptors/HER2 negative primary breast cancer (JBCRG-13)

Phase 2
Conditions
Operable triple negative or low hormone receptors/HER2 negative primary breast cancer
Registration Number
JPRN-UMIN000003570
Lead Sponsor
Japan Breast Cancer Research Group (JBCRG)
Brief Summary

Results: pCR was achieved after mPCX and FEC by 47.5 % (19/40) of patients in the ITT population and in 54.5% (18/33) of patients in the PPS. The clinical response rate was 90.0% (36/40) in the ITT population and 93.9% (31/33) in the PPS. Breast conservation surgery was possible in six patients (40%) who were scheduled to undergo total mastectomy. Conclusion: Metronomic PCX followed by FEC chemotherapy was associated with a high pCR rate and low toxicity in patients with TNBC.
