A Three-Arm Randomized Trial to Compare Adjuvant Adriamycin and Cyclophosphamide Followed by Taxotere (AC-T); Adriamycin and Taxotere (AT); and Adriamycin, Taxotere, and Cyclophosphamide (ATC) in Breast Cancer Patients With Positive Axillary Lymph Nodes
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating cyclophosphamide, docetaxel, and 1 other intervention for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 5,351 participants across 157 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells remaining following surgery. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy is more effective in treating breast cancer with positive axillary lymph nodes. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of different regimens of combination chemotherapy in treating women who have undergone surgery for stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA breast cancer with positive axillary lymph nodes.
