Effect of Chemotherapy and Radiation Prior to Surgery for Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Radiation: Radiation Therapy
Procedure: Mastectomy
Registration Number
NCT00603408
Lead Sponsor
Washington University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cisplatin when given with radiation therapy prior to surgery is effective in improving response to treatment in breast cancer patients. Tumor, blood and bone marrow samples will be collected in this study and will also help researchers determine if cisplatin is able to change tumor DNA so it cannot multiply itself and create more tumor cells, and cause the tumor cells to die.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients must be >= 18 years of age

  • Patients must be newly diagnosed with primary invasive ductal breast adenocarcinoma.

  • Tumor classified as clinically stage T2, T3 or T4 with any N (NX, N1, N2, or N3).

  • Tumor does not express the following biomarkers: estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, Her2/neu

  • Adequate organ function defined as:

    • Serum Creatinine <= 1.5 x upper limit of institutional normal.
    • ALT, AST, ALK Phos <= 1.5 x upper limit of institutional normal.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall ResponseAt the time of surgery (week 13)

* Complete response: disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level

* Partial response: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of the target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD

* Stable disease: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD taking as references the smallest sum LD since the treatment started,

* Progressive disease: at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of the target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions, appearance of one more new lesions, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

Secondary Outcome Measures
