Summary

  • Opened in July 2002
  • Target accrual: 200 patients

Primary Objective

  • Clinical response, pathological response.

Secondary Objective

  • Molecular changes in apoptosis-related molecules, drug-resistance related molecules.

Scheme

Regimen

CEF (500 mg/m2, 100 mg/m2, 500 mg/m2)

q 3 × 4 cycles → Docetaxel (75mg/m2) q 3 × 4 cycles

Update

Closed (reached) target accrual (202). This study forms the basis for other trials of JBCRG; JBCRG02, Phase II neoadjuvant trial looking at the efficacy of FEC followed by docetaxel100 for primary breast cancer patients; JBCRG03, Phase II neoadjuvant trial looking at the efficacy of docetaxel75 followed by FEC for primary breast cancer patients. These studies are registered at the UMIN Clinical Trial Registry (CTR), http://www.umin.ac.jp/english/
