Scientific titleA randomised phase II study of cytotoxic chemotherapy or cytotoxic chemotherapy combined with celecoxib or trastuzumab as primary chemotherapy for patients with high risk localised breast cancer not amenable to breast conserving therapy
Study objectivesAddition of celecoxib or trastuzumab to neoadjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy could increase the pathological response rate.
Ethics approval(s)Approval granted from the local ethics committee (Comités de Consultation pour la Protection des Personnes se prêtant à la Recherche Biomédicale [CCPPRB] Paris Nord) on 14/10/2003.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedLocalised breast cancer not amenable to breast conserving therapy
InterventionControl arm:
Cytotoxic chemotherapy consisting of Epirubicin 75 mg/sqm and cyclophosphamide 750 g/sqm every three weeks for four cycles, followed by docetaxel 100 mg/sqm every three weeks for four cycles, followed by breast surgery.

Test arm:
Same cytotoxic chemotherapy combined with celecoxib 800 mg/d given during cycles five to eight (Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor (HER2) negative), or trastuzumab 8 mg/kg loading dose then 6 mg/kg every three weeks with docetaxel (cycles five to eight), followed by breast surgery.
