Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if it is practical (feasible) to give dose-dense CMF (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil) in two standard chemotherapy regimens in people with breast cancer, age 70 and older.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of participants who have completed all four cycles of CMF
Evaluate the feasibility of 4 cycles of ddCMF as an alternative to AC in 2 standard regimens in patients \> or = to age 70 with breast cancer. Feasibility is evaluated by the completion of all four cycles of CMF.
6 months
Study Arms (2)
Cohort 1
EXPERIMENTALddCMF x 4 Cycles followed by either 4 doses of dd paclitaxel given every 2 weeks or 12 doses of paclitaxel given weekly, per investigator discretion, in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting
Cohort 2
EXPERIMENTALddCMF x 4 Cycles in the neoadjuvant setting, in participants who have received at least 1 dose of carboplatin/paclitaxel +/- pembrolizumab
Interventions
Paclitaxel will be administered as an IV infusion into a peripheral or central vein.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients must have histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the breast confirmed at MSK. The patient must have had diagnostic biopsy or completion of primary surgical management, within 3 months of enrollment. Results of HER-2/neu, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor are required for study entry.
- Patients must be ≥ 70 years of age.
- Patients must have ECOG performance status \>2 (Karnofsky score of ≥ 60%).
- Patients may have received hormonal therapy for the purpose of chemoprevention.
- Adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy decision to treat based on the discretion of investigator
- Cohort 1 only: Patients have any histology except Her 2 Neu positive in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting
- Cohort 2 only: Patients have triple negative (ER- (10%) PR-Her 2 Neu -) in the neoadjuvant setting
- Cohort 2 only: Patients have received at least 1 dose of carboplatin/paclitaxel +/- pembrolizumab in the neoadjuvant setting
- Required Organ Function
- Adequate hematologic function defined as follows:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 cells/mm3
- Platelets ≥ 100,000 cells/mm3
- Adequate renal function defined as follows:
- ° Creatinine clearance (CrCL) of \>30 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula:
- CrCl (mL/min) = \[(\[140 - age(years)\] x weight (kg))/72 x creatinine (mg/dL)\] (x 0.85 for female patients)
- +4 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Stage IV breast cancer
- CARG score- high Frail 4 or more as assessed by CAIT
- Her 2 Neu positive 3+/amplified breast cancer
- No prior chemotherapy within 1 year of study enrollment
- Cohort 2 only: patients may not receive pembrolizumab during dd CMF treatment
