Scientific titleFirst prospective Intergroup Translational Research Trial assessing the potential predictive value of p53 using a functional assay in yeast in patients with locally advanced/inflammatory or large operable breast cancer prospectively randomised to a taxane versus a non taxane regimen
Study acronymp53 Study
Study objectivesThe study had two main objectives:
1. Test a treatment effect by comparing an anthracycline based regime (standard treatment) to a taxane plus anthracycline regimen ("new" treatment) separately in the normal and mutated p53 subgroups, p53 being assessed by a functional assay in yeast
2. Test an interaction effect between p53 status and the chemotherapy regimen (with or without taxanes)
Ethics approval(s)Multicentre Research Ethics Committee for Scotland, 11/12/2001, ref: MREC/01/0/22
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: National Cancer Research Network; Subtopic: Breast Cancer; Disease: Breast
Intervention1. Non-taxane arm: either FEC100 (epirubicin 100 mg/m2 with 5-fluorouracil 500 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2) every 3 weeks for 6 cycles or Canadian FEC (oral cyclophosphamide on days 1-14 and epirubicin IV and fluorouracil IV on days 1 and 8) every 4 weeks for 6 cycles or tailored FEC (fluorouracil IV over 15 minutes, epirubicin IV over 1 hour, and cyclophosphamide IV over 1-2 hours on day 1; patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously on days 2-15 or until blood counts recover) x 6 (every 3 weeks for 6 cycles)
2. Taxane arm: 3 cycles Docetaxel (every 3 weeks for 3 cycles) followed by 3 cycles Epirubicin/Docetaxel (every 3 weeks for 3 cycles)

Follow up for both arms is till death
Study entry: single randomisation only
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase III
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)5-FU, docetaxel, epirubicin
Primary outcome measureProgression free survival, calculated from date of randomisation to the first evidence of progression or recurrence or death, whichever occurs first
Secondary outcome measures1. Distant metastasis free survival, calculated from the date of randomisation to the first evidence of recurrent disease outside radiation field or death, whichever occurs first
2. Survival, calculated from date of randomisation to date of death
3. Clinical and pathological responses, assessed after 3rd cycle and at the end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to Response Evaulation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) criteria for tumour progression
4. Toxicity, measured according to Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) scale version 2.0
Overall study start date25/04/2001
Completion date06/11/2006
