NCT02379585

Brief Summary

This study is to see how safe the use of short-term fasting is in breast cancer patients who will receive chemotherapy before undergoing surgery and to examine if the use of short-term fasting will decrease the side effects of chemotherapy and how much a tumor shrinks while receiving chemotherapy.

Study Arms (2)

HER2 negative breast cancer

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide every two weeks for four cycles (one cycle is defined as 14 days). After completing fourth cycle, paclitaxel every two weeks for an additional four cycles. The appropriate surgery will be done three to six weeks after completing the last cycle of paclitaxel.

Drug: DoxorubicinDrug: cyclophosphamideDrug: paclitaxel

HER2 positive breast cancer

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Docetaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab every three weeks for four cycles. Pegfilgrastim after docetaxel. Surgery three to six weeks after completing the last docatexel. If additional chemotherapy is needed patients will receive both doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide every three weeks for four cycles and after the fourth cycle then trastuzumab for one year

Drug: docetaxelDrug: TrastuzumabDrug: Pertuzumab

Interventions

doxorubicin (A) 60 mg/m2 plus cyclophosphamide (C) 600 mg/m2 every 2 weeks for four cycles followed by paclitaxel (T) 75 mg/m2 every 2 weeks for four cycles (dose-dense AC + T).20

Also known as: (dose-dense AC + T).2
HER2 negative breast cancer

doxorubicin (A) 60 mg/m2 plus cyclophosphamide (C) 600 mg/m2 every 2 weeks for four cycles followed by paclitaxel (T) 75 mg/m2 every 2 weeks for four cycles (dose-dense AC + T).20

Also known as: (dose-dense AC + T).20
HER2 negative breast cancer

For patients with HER2 negative breast cancer: doxorubicin (A) 60 mg/m2 plus cyclophosphamide (C) 600 mg/m2 every 2 weeks for four cycles followed by paclitaxel (T) 75 mg/m2 every 2 weeks for four cycles (dose-dense AC + T).20

Also known as: (dose-dense AC + T).20
HER2 negative breast cancer

For patients with HER2 positive breast cancer: docetaxel (T) 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for four cycles. Trastuzumab (H, 8mg/kg for 1st cycle, then 6 mg/kg in subsequent 3 cycles), Pertuzumab (P, 840 mg for 1st cycle, then 420 mg in subsequent 3 cycles) will be given concurrently with docetaxel for a total of 4 cycles before surgery. For patients who do not achieve pCR, adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin (A) 60 mg/m2 plus cyclophosphamide (C) 600 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for four cycles will be given, followed by trastuzumab 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks to complete 1 year of treatment. For patients with pCR, only trastuzumab 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks will be given adjuvantly to complete 1 year of treatment (TPH + AC).21

Also known as: (TPH + AC).21

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score \< 1
  • Absolute neutrophil count \> 1500 mm3, platelet count ≥ 100×109 L, hemoglobin ≥ 8.5 g/dL
  • Serum creatinine ≤1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range, total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN (≤ 3 mg/dL if clinically diagnosed with Gilbert syndrome) AST/ALT ≤ 2.5 X ULN (AST/ALT ≤ 5X ULN if clinically diagnosed with Gilbert syndrome)
  • Willing to provide blood samples for correlative research purposes
  • Women of child-bearing potential (i.e., women who are pre-menopausal or not surgically sterile) must be willing to use an acceptable contraceptive method (abstinence, oral contraceptive or double barrier method) for the duration of the study and for 30 days following the last dose of study drug, and must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to beginning treatment on this trial.

You may not qualify if:

  • Uncontrolled cardiac disease, such as angina, hypertension or significant arrhythmias, congestive heart failure (NYHA grade 2 or more or LVEF \< 40% on any prior assessment). Note: Assessment of LVEF is done before and after anthracycline-based or trastuzumab-based chemotherapy as standard of care
  • Pregnant or lactating females
  • Known history of diabetes mellitus. If screening fasting glucose is ≥126 mg/dL, an HbA1C must be \< 6.5%.
  • History of syncope with calorie restriction in the past
  • Body mass index (BMI) \< 19 kg/m2
  • Clinical signs or symptoms of GI obstruction and/or requirement for parenteral hydration or nutrition
  • Inability to complete informed consent process and adhere to the protocol treatment plan and follow-up requirements
  • Concurrent severe illness such as active infection, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit safety and compliance with study requirements
  • Any other medical comorbidity that requires daily medication(s) that may not be safely taken without food.
