The Maintenance Regimen and Revised Regimen for Advanced Breast Cancer Survivors After First-line Salvage Therapy

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2020-02-08
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

Worldwide, breast cancer is the most incident and prevalent cancer among women. Despite advances in the treatment of advanced breast cancer (ABC) during the past decade, adjuvant systemic therapy has yield little progression for such patients. ABC remains an incurable disease, responsible for approximate 40,000 deaths annually and a median life expectancy of no more than 3 years. The NCCN guidelines clearly define routine adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for the early breast cancer, however, for the patients with recurrence and metastasis, the choice of treatment options is not clear. In this trial, we choose the patients with disease progression who received anthracycline and taxane adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. The patients received vinorelbine and gemcitabine (NG) or vinorelbine and platinum (NP) regiments for 6 cycles. Then the patients with complete response (CR), partly response (PR) and stable disease(SD) will be assigned to 3 groups, one group will receive the original regiment for 3 cycles to maintain treatment, one group will receive the vinorelbine for 6 cycles, the other group will receive the capecitabine for 6 cycles. Trasuzumab will be used to patients if HER-2 positive. Endocrine therapy will be used if the hormone receptors positive after the chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is to assess disease-free survival (DFS), the secondary endpoint is to assess the overall survival (OS).
