Study Summary

This trial is studying carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without panitumumab to see how well they work in treating triple negative breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with invasive triple negative breast cancer who haven't had certain treatments like carboplatin or radiotherapy for their condition. They should have good organ function, no serious heart issues, and not be dealing with other major medical or psychiatric conditions that could affect the study. Women of childbearing age must test negative for pregnancy and agree to use birth control.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how well a combination of chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) works when given alone versus when combined with panitumumab, a monoclonal antibody. The goal is to see if adding panitumumab can better shrink tumors before surgery in patients with this type of breast cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to the drugs, nerve damage (neuropathy), blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, liver enzyme changes, kidney function alterations, fatigue, hair loss from chemotherapy and potential heart damage.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Group B (paclitaxel, carboplatin)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive paclitaxel, carboplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide as in Group A. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unexpected toxicity.
Group II: Group A (panitumumab, paclitaxel, carboplatin)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive panitumumab IV over 1 hour on day 1 of cycle 0 and over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 of cycles 1-4. Patients also receive paclitaxel IV over 1-3 hours on days 1, 8, and 15 of cycles 1-4, and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of cycles 1-4. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unexpected toxicity.
