A Study of Herceptin (Trastuzumab) in Combination Chemotherapy in Women With Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of adding Herceptin to a paclitaxel-containing regimen followed by cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/fluorouracil (CMF) chemotherapy in women with locally advanced breast cancer and HER2/c-erbB-2 gene amplification. In a parallel observational study patients with HER2-negative disease will receive the same chemotherapy without Herceptin.
