About this trial

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of antharcycline-based adjuvant chemotherapy compared with observation in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with residual invasive disease after platinum and taxanes based neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients with histologically confirmed invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast.

Triple negative breast cancer: hormone receptor negative (ER < 10% and PgR < 10%) and HER2 negative (IHC 0/1+ or ISH non-amplified), as defined by the local pathology laboratory.

Clinical stage at presentation: T1-4, N0-3, M0, with indications for neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Patient must have received platinum and taxanes neoadjuvant chemotherapy for at least 4 cycles and no tumor progression occurred.

Disqualifiers

Previous neoadjuvant chemotherapy with anthracycline or other drugs (except platinum and taxanes).

Previous neoadjuvant chemotherapy with platinum or taxanes alone.

Patients have received other adjuvant therapy.

Comprehensive medical examinations have revealed distant metastases before randomization.
