  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to optimize results in neoadjuvant chemotherapy of local advanced primary breast cancer. Therefore patients become first 3 cycles of Epirubicin/Docetaxel followed by 3x Carboplatin/Docetaxel.

  • Determining pathologic complete remission under study treatment [ Time Frame: 28 days after last administration of chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Rate of breast conserving operations [ Time Frame: 28 days after administration of last chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Response to treatment [ Time Frame: 28 days after last administration of chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Intervention Details:
    Drug: Epirubicin, Carboplatin, Docetaxel
    75 mg/m² Docetaxel (60 minutes i.v.) and 90 mg/m² Epirubicin (10-15 min i.v.) on day 1, 22, 42. After these 3 cycles 75 mg/m² Docetaxel (60 minutes i.v.) and Carboplatin AUC 5 (30 min i. v.) on day 63, 84, 105.
Detailed Description:

Most of the women who are diagnosed with breast cancer are in the situation that an operation is possible. Using a neoadjuvant therapy the rate of breast-conserving surgery can be extended and tumor cell proliferation may be inhibited. Further the neoadjuvant chemotherapy is an in-vivo-activity-test for the used drugs. Epirubicin, Docetaxel and Carboplatin have shown antineoplastic activity against solid cancer alone and in combination.

Using two different combinations of these three drugs, first 3 cycles Epirubicin/Docetaxel and then changing to Carboplatin/Docetaxel for 3 further cycles it is assumed that the results of the therapy will improve. Main criterion is the determination of pCR, second criteria are the rate of breast-conserving surgery, tumor response and therapy-dependent toxicities.
