Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

pathological complete response (pCR= ypT0/is ypN0)
18 weeks (time window + 3 weeks)

To compare the pathological complete response (pCR= ypT0/is ypN0) rates of neoadjuvant treatment with sequential, dose-dense, dose-intensified ETC(+HP) vs. weekly PM(Cb)(+HP) in patients with high-risk operable or locally advanced breast cancer. Masked role for assessor.

Only for those patients randomized for the supportive anemia treatment: frequency of patients reaching hemoglobin (Hb) levels ≥ 11g/dl 6 weeks after treatment start of a first episode of anemia grade ≥2
18 weeks (time window + 3 weeks)

Only for those patients randomized for the supportive anemia treatment: To compare the frequency of patients reaching hemoglobin (Hb) levels ≥ 11g/dl 6 weeks after treatment start of a first episode of anemia grade ≥2 (Hb \< 10g/dl) between patients receiving supportive treatment for iron deficiency with parental ferric carboxymaltose versus physician's choice (no supportive treatment, oral iron substitution, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA), or both).

Secondary Endpoints

Frequently asked questions about non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin

What is non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin used for?

Non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin is being studied for the treatment of tubular breast cancer stage II, as well as other high-risk early breast cancer types including tubular breast cancer stage III, mucinous breast cancer stage II, invasive ductal breast cancer, HER2 positive breast cancer, and inflammatory breast cancer. It is an investigational small molecule oncology therapy.

Who is developing non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin?

Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN) is developing non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of high-risk early breast cancer.

What phase is non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in?

Non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. It is being evaluated in a completed Phase 3 trial for the neoadjuvant treatment of high-risk early breast cancer.

What clinical trials is non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in?

Non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin was studied in the clinical trial NCT02125344, titled 'A Phase III Trial Comparing Two Dose-dense, Dose-intensified Approaches (ETC and PM(Cb)) for Neoadjuvant Treatment of Patients With High-risk Early Breast Cancer (GeparOcto)'. This completed trial enrolled 961 female participants aged 18 years and older in Germany.

How does non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin work?

Non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin is a liposomal formulation of doxorubicin, an anthracycline chemotherapy agent. It works by intercalating DNA and inhibiting topoisomerase II, which disrupts DNA replication and leads to cancer cell death. The liposomal encapsulation is designed to alter the drug's distribution and potentially reduce certain side effects.
