Popis: Background: Standard adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for patients with moderate-to-high risk early breast cancer typically contain a taxane, an anthracycline and cyclophosphamide. The randomised, phase III FinXX study aimed to investigate whether the integration of capecitabine into such a regimen enhances outcome. Here we present final 5-year exploratory analyses from the subgroup of patients with triple-negative early breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: Patients aged 18-65 years, with histologically confirmed invasive node positive breast cancer or node negative progesterone receptor negative breast cancer > 20 mm, and with a WHO performance status of 0 or 1, with no previous neoadjuvant chemotherapy were randomised. Patients received 3 x XT (capecitabine 900mg/m2 bid d1-15 + docetaxel 60mg/m2 d1)≥3 x CEX (cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2 d1, + epirubicin 75mg/m2 d1 + X 900mg/m2 bid d1-15, q3w) or 3 x T (80mg/m2 d1)≥3 x CEF (C 600mg/m2 d1, E 75mg/m2 d1, 5-FU 600mg/m2 d1, q3w). The primary endpoint was RFS, defined as the time from randomisation to the first time the patient is recorded as having disease recurrence or the date of death if the patient dies due to causes other than disease recurrence. Secondary endpoints included overall survival and safety. Results: Between January 2004 and May 2007, 1,500 women from Finland and Sweden were randomised (XT→CEX n=753, T→CEF n=747). Of these, 202 patients (13.5%) had TNBC (XT→CEX n=93, T→CEF n=109). After a median follow-up of 59 months, RFS was significantly improved in the TNBC XT→CEX arm versus control (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.26-0.88; p=0.018). The following endpoints were also significant: 5-year RFS in patients with TNBC versus those without TNBC (HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.36-0.69; P Citation Information: Cancer Res 2010;70(24 Suppl):Abstract nr PD01-02.
