We are not doctors. Always consult your doctor about Combination Chemotherapy, Surgery, and Radiation Therapy With or Without Dexrazoxane and Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Stage III or Stage IV Breast Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Combination Chemotherapy, Surgery, and Radiation Therapy With or Without Dexrazoxane and Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Stage III or Stage IV Breast Cancer Clinical research trials and Combination Chemotherapy, Surgery, and Radiation Therapy With or Without Dexrazoxane and Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Stage III or Stage IV Breast Cancer healthcare trials happen in many of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover cures for all varieties of conditions, such as Combination Chemotherapy, Surgery, and Radiation Therapy With or Without Dexrazoxane and Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Stage III or Stage IV Breast Cancer. Combination Chemotherapy, Surgery, and Radiation Therapy With or Without Dexrazoxane and Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Stage III or Stage IV Breast Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Some times the human subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Combination Chemotherapy, Surgery, and Radiation Therapy With or Without Dexrazoxane and Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Stage III or Stage IV Breast Cancer clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Combination Chemotherapy, Surgery, and Radiation Therapy With or Without Dexrazoxane and Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Stage III or Stage IV Breast Cancer condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, healthcare dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Combination Chemotherapy, Surgery, and Radiation Therapy With or Without Dexrazoxane and Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Stage III or Stage IV Breast Cancer
For Condition: cardiac toxicity,stage 4 breast cancer,stage 3B breast cancer,stage 3A breast cancer,inflammatory breast cancer
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) , Cancer and Leukemia Group B
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs, such as dexrazoxane, may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known if chemotherapy combined with surgery and radiation therapy is more effective with or without dexrazoxane and trastuzumab in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy with or without dexrazoxane and trastuzumab in treating women who have stage IIIA, stage IIIB or stage IV breast cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the time to locoregional recurrence, time to completion of treatment, and overall survival in women with HER-2+ stage IIIA or IIIB or regional stage IV breast cancer treated with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide with or without dexrazoxane, followed by paclitaxel with or without trastuzumab (Herceptin), followed by surgery and radiotherapy with or without trastuzumab. II. Determine whether addition of trastuzumab to paclitaxel therapy improves response at 24 weeks of therapy in these patients. III. Determine whether addition of trastuzumab to paclitaxel therapy increases the rate of cardiotoxicity in these patients. IV. Determine whether addition of dexrazoxane to doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide compromises response in these patients. V. Determine whether addition of dexrazoxane to doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide reduces the rate of cardiotoxicity in these patients. VI. Determine whether long-term trastuzumab after local therapy improves disease-free survival in these patients. VII. Determine whether long-term trastuzumab after local therapy increases the rate of cardiotoxicity in these patients. VIII. Determine the occurrence of any grade 3 or higher toxicity, second malignancies, acute myelogenous leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome in patients treated with these regimens. IX. Determine the eventual rate of breast conservation in those patients considered candidates for breast conservation prior to neoadjuvant treatment. X. Determine the clinical response after doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide with or without dexrazoxane and the clinical/mammographic/ultrasound response after paclitaxel with or without trastuzumab, compared to the pathologic response at definitive surgery in these patients. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to stage (inflammatory vs noninflammatory inoperable stage III/ regional stage IV vs operable stage III). Patients are randomized to 1 of 8 treatment arms. Arm I: Patients receive dexrazoxane IV over 10-20 minutes, doxorubicin IV over 5-10 minutes, and cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 22, 43, and 64. Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour and trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV over 30-90 minutes on days 85, 92, 99, 106, 113, 120, 127, 134, 141, 148, 155, and 162. Approximately 1-2 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patients undergo breast conservation surgery, modified radical mastectomy, or mastectomy. Patients with unacceptable toxicity or locoregional disease progression may undergo surgery prior to week 24 (i.e., completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy). Beginning 2-4 weeks after breast conservation surgery or 3-5 weeks after mastectomy, patients undergo radiotherapy daily 5 days a week for 6-8 weeks. Patients receive long-term trastuzumab IV over 30-90 minutes weekly for 40 weeks beginning on week 36 (day 254). Arm II: Patients receive dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide as in arm I. Patients receive paclitaxel (without trastuzumab) as in arm I. Patients undergo surgery and radiotherapy as in arm I. Patients receive long-term trastuzumab as in arm I. Arm III: Patients receive dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide as in arm I. Patients receive paclitaxel and trastuzumab as in arm I. Patients undergo surgery and radiotherapy as in arm I. Patient undergo observation only for 40 weeks after completion of radiotherapy. Arm IV: Patients receive dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide as in arm I. Patients receive paclitaxel as in arm II. Patients undergo surgery and radiotherapy as in arm I. Patients undergo observation as in arm III. Arm V: Patients receive doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (without dexrazoxane) as in arm I. Patients receive paclitaxel and trastuzumab as in arm I. Patients undergo surgery and radiotherapy as in arm I. Patients receive long-term trastuzumab as in arm I. Arm VI: Patients receive doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide as in arm V. Patients receive paclitaxel as in arm II. Patients undergo surgery and radiotherapy as in arm I. Patients receive long-term trastuzumab as in arm I. Arm VII: Patients receive doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide as in arm V. Patients receive paclitaxel and trastuzumab as in arm I. Patients undergo surgery and radiotherapy as in arm I. Patients undergo observation as in arm III. Arm VIII: Patients receive doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide as in arm V. Patients receive paclitaxel as in arm II. Patients undergo surgery and radiotherapy as in arm I. Patients undergo observation as in arm III. Treatment continues in all arms in the absence of distant disease progression. Beginning within 12 weeks of completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, hormone receptor-positive patients may receive oral tamoxifen daily for 5 years. Patients are followed every 6 months for 5 years and then annually for 5 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 396 patients will be accrued for this study within 4 years.
