Clinical Trial: Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Women With Stage I Breast Cancer

This study is currently recruiting patients.

Sponsored by: Federation Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating early breast cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of different regimens of combination chemotherapy in treating women who have stage I breast cancer.

Official Title: Phase III Randomized Study of Adjuvant Fluorouracil, Epirubicin, and Cyclophosphamide in Women With Stage I Breast Cancer

Further Study Details: 

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the efficacy of 4 vs 6 courses of adjuvant fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide, in terms of 5-year survival, in women with stage I breast cancer.
  • Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients.
  • Determine the correlation of length of survival with biological factors in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Determine biological factors significant for prognosis and prediction of survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Determine the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

Patients are followed every 6 months for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,512 patients (756 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
