A Randomized, Open-label Study of the Effect of Paclitaxel, Doxorubicin, and CMF Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy, With and Without Herceptin, on Tumor Response in Women With HER2-positive Breast Cancer
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.
