A Phase II, Open-Label, Multicenter Clinical Trial of Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Caelyx®) as Primary Treatment for Patients With Breast Cancer and a History of Heart Disease or Age Over 65 Years.
This is a phase II, uncontrolled, open label, multicenter study of a primary chemotherapy
regimen consisting of four cycles of liposomal pegylated doxorubicine 35 mg/m² IV plus
cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m² on Day 1 every 4 weeks followed by paclitaxel 80 mg/m²/week for
12 weeks before surgery in breast cancer patients at risk of developing
anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity.
Surgery (tumorectomy, quadrantectomy, or mastectomy plus lymphadenectomy) will be performed
2 to 5 weeks after the last primary chemotherapy infusion.
Patients with > 10% of hormone receptor-positive cells will receive appropriate hormone
therapy according to menopausal status.
Patients treated with breast-conserving surgery will receive radiation therapy to the
mammary gland.
Patients with T4 tumors or significant axillary involvement (≥ ypN2) will receive radiation
therapy to the breast or chest wall and to the lymph node chains.
