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

EXPERIMENTAL

ddCMF 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

Drug: CMF RegimenDrug: Paclitaxel

Cohort 2

EXPERIMENTAL

ddCMF x 4 Cycles in the neoadjuvant setting, in participants who have received at least 1 dose of carboplatin/paclitaxel +/- pembrolizumab

Drug: CMF Regimen

Interventions

CMF regimen: Cyclophosphamide, Methotrexate, and Fluorouracil

Cohort 1Cohort 2

Paclitaxel will be administered as an IV infusion into a peripheral or central vein.

Cohort 1

Eligibility Criteria

Age70 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsOlder Adult (65+)

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
