Description:
This is a phase II randomized trial that will evaluate the effect of adding LHRH analogue,
goserelin, to the standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy to patients with triple negative breast
cancer. Targeting LHRH might decrease resistance to chemotherapeutic agents in the
neoadjuvant setting and increases clinical and pathological response rates. Additionally,
exploring potential surrogate markers (as AR and LHRH receptors) for molecular distinct
subtypes of TNBC.

Purpose
This is a phase II randomized trial that will evaluate the effect of adding LHRH analogue,
goserelin, to the standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy to patients with triple negative breast
cancer. Targeting LHRH might decrease resistance to chemotherapeutic agents in the
neoadjuvant setting and increases clinical and pathological response rates. Additionally,
exploring potential surrogate markers (as AR and LHRH receptors) for molecular distinct
subtypes of TNBC.
Detailed Description
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is the mainstay of treatment of locally advanced TNBC and
some selected early cases followed by surgery with or without adjuvant radiotherapy. NACT is
aimed to induce pathologic complete response (pCR) in tumor and lymph nodes, pCR is proofed
to be a surrogate and reliable predictive factor of survival rates in TNBC. This study will
evaluate the effect of adding LHRH analogue, goserelin, to the standard neoadjuvant
chemotherapy. Following completion of neoadjuvant therapy, patients will undergo breast
conservative surgery or mastectomy. Post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy axillary staging will be
required, but the choice of the procedure will be at the physician's discretion.
Postoperative radiation therapy will be given at the physician's discretion. The use of
partial breast irradiation techniques will not be allowed. The primary endpoint will be the
rate of pathologic complete response. The secondary endpoints will be 3-year-disease free
survival, clinical response and toxicity. Exploratory endpoints will be correlation of the
LHRH receptor expression level with the pCR. The sample size for the trial will be 180
patients accrued over a period of 2 years. Definitive analysis of the primary endpoints is
expected at year 3.
Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
Group A | Experimental | Goserelin 3.6 mg depot injection will be administered subcutaneously every month along with standard chemotherapy regimen: AC-P: Doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 IV plus cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for four cycles, followed by paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 by 1 hour infusion every week for 12 weeks. Each cycle is 21 days. | |
Group B | No Intervention | Standard chemotherapy regimen: AC-P: Doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 IV plus cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for four cycles, followed by paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 by 1 hour infusion every week for 12 weeks. Each cycle is 21 days. | |
