Study Summary

This randomized phase III studies how well two different regimens of paclitaxel with or without trastuzumab works in treating patients with or without HER-2/Neu breast cancer that is inoperable, recurrent, or metastatic. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known what regimen of paclitaxel is more effective with or without trastuzumab in treating patients with breast cancer.

Primary Outcome

Multivariate logistic regression will be used to relate patient characteristics and pretreatment clinical variables with tumor response (complete or partial). Interim analyses will use a chi square statistic to compare response incidence by treatment arm with two-sided bounds constructed from the O'Brien-Fleming approach

Interventions

  • OTHER laboratory biomarker analysis
  • DRUG paclitaxel
  • PROCEDURE quality-of-life assessment
  • BIOLOGICAL trastuzumab
