Neoadjuvant Weekly Paclitaxel and Biomarkers of Therapy Response
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Paclitaxel for Breast Neoplasm Female. Currently recruiting, targeting 50 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The hypothesis of this study is that paclitaxel levels increase chromosomal instability (CIN) in tumors and this is lethal to tumors that have pre-existing CIN. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. Paclitaxel will be initiated as standard infusions on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 21-day cycle. Participants will continue with paclitaxel for cycles 2-4 prior to surgery.
