Clinical trial for Breast Neoplasms
Official title I-SPY TRIAL: Neoadjuvant and Personalized Adaptive Novel Agents to Treat Breast Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01042379
What this study is testing
What is Standard Therapy?
This is a standard chemotherapy regimen being studied in a clinical trial to see how it works for breast cancer. It is designed to kill rapidly dividing cancer cells by interfering with their ability to grow and reproduce.
Also referred to as Paclitaxel (Taxol); Doxorubicin (Adriamycin); Cyclophosphamide.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study aims to learn which new medicines work best for specific breast cancer types. It also looks for early signs in scans and tests that predict if a treatment is working.
- Who it's for
- People with early-stage or locally advanced breast cancer.
- What's involved
- Participants receive a new drug treatment and undergo regular scans (MRI) and blood or tissue tests to check how the tumor is responding.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts until surgery, with regular visits for scans and tests.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
