Trial Information

Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Recombinant Human Endostatin, Docetaxel and Epirubicin as First-line Therapy in Patients With Breast Cancer


This is an open labelled, prospective, randomized, phase II clinical trial. A total of 60
patients with core-biopsy confirmed breast cancer, stage ⅡA to ⅢC, and to be treated with
neoadjuvant systemic therapy are eligible for entry into this study. Patients will be
allocated randomly to two groups to receive either 3 cycles of neoadjuvant DE and endostar
or 3 cycles of neoadjuvant DE. All cases receive mammography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound
(CEUS), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and positron emission tomography (PET)
scanning pre- and post-neoadjuvant therapy, and then undergo surgical resection. The primary
endpoint is clinical/pathological response. The secondary endpoint is (1) the safety and
tolerability of the regimens, (2) the role of mammography, CEUS, MRA and PET for response
evaluation, and (3) angiogenic profile and biological information involved in tumor
response.
