Filgrastim was not allowed for the 1st cycle of docetaxel.

  26. Conclusion: Efficacy Results • Substituting 3 cycles of docetaxel for 3 cycles of FEC 100 following 3FEC100 significantly improves DFS and OS in N+ breast cancer patients • This benefit was significant for patients older than 50 years • There was a significant interaction between age and treatment effect and both age groups might be considered separately • For younger women, this schedule of docetaxel offers no advantage compared to 6 FEC100

  27. Conclusions: Safety Results • Treatment compliance to docetaxel was good • This sequential schedule demonstrated significantly less cardiac events, less neutropenia at day 21, cycle delay and use of G-CSF in spite of a higher rate of febrile neutropenia • Edema and nail disorders were significantly more frequent than with FEC 100 alone

  29. TAX 301: Results • Patients who respond to primary CVAP chemotherapy and are randomized to further sequential docetaxel vs CVAP achieve: • Higher pCR rates –31% vs 15%, p=0.06 • Higher 5 year OS –97% vs 78%, p=0.04 • Higher rates of Breast Conserving Surgery –67% vs 48%, p=0.01 Hutcheon et al.

  33. B-27PRIMARY AIM • To determine whether four courses of Preop or Postop Docetaxel given after four courses of Preop AC will more effectively prolong DFS and OS than four courses of Preop AC alone.

  34. B-27Secondary Aims AC x 4 Tam X 5 Yrs AC x 4 Tam X 5 Yrs vs Docetaxel x 4 Surgery Surgery I & III II •  Clinical Response •  Pathologic Response •  Nodal Downstaging •  Lumpectomies

  36. B-27Eligibility • Operable Breast Carcinoma • Diagnosis by FNA or core biopsy • Palpable on physical exam (T1c-3 N 0, M 0 , / T 1-3, N 1, M 0 ). • NOT locally or regionally advanced • No T4 or N2 disease

  46. Conclusions: Adjuvant Trials • The addition of Taxotere to conventional anthracycline-containing chemo increasesDFS and OS in node-positive early-stagebreast cancer • Taxane-containing combinations (ie, TAC) isa valid treatment option for appropriately selected women with early-stage breast cancer • Optimal way of administering taxanes and identification of subsets most likely to benefit will remain open questions for 3 to 4 years

  47. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant Trials • Neoadjuvant chemo can increase operability in operable and locally advanced breast cancer • Clinical and pathologic response predict outcome • Optimal chemotherapy regimens at present incorporate the use of a taxane
