NCT02448576

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare whether prophylactic cranial irradiation in patients with advanced triple negative breast cancer who had a response to first line chemotherapy could prolong brain-metastasis free survival.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Signed informed consent;
  • Age of 18 to 65 years;
  • Documented advanced breast cancer, clinical and pathological confirmed;
  • Immunohistochemical examination:ER\<1%+, progestin receptor (PR)\<1%+, HER-2 -/+ or HER-2(++)with negative result of FISH;
  • A response after four to eight cycles of first line chemotherapy;
  • Life expectancy longer than six months evaluated by investigator;
  • A performance status of 0 to 2, according to the criteria of the World Health Organization (with a higher score indicating a poorer performance status)
  • Less than grade 1( Common Terminology Criteria grade version 4.0) of treatment-related toxicities;
  • Adequate baseline organ function.

You may not qualify if:

  • History of another malignancy.
  • Pregnancy or gestation
  • Definite diagnosed of central nervous system (CNS)or leptomeningeal metastases
  • Serious cardiac illness or medical condition
  • Known history of related central nervous system or leptomeningeal disease
  • Cognition impairment or suffering from mental illness
  • Demand a long-term oral administration of psychotropic drugs
  • Have a concurrent disease or condition that may interfere with study participation, or any serious medical disorder that would interfere with the subject's safety (for example, active or uncontrolled infection, currently active/requiring anti-viral therapy hepatic or biliary disease)
