Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Normal ovarian function as defined by two consecutive menstrual periods within 21-35 days within a time frame of 5 - 8 months after last application of goserelin [ Time Frame: December 2008 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Discontinuation, delay, or dose-reductions of chemotherapy [ Time Frame: December 2008 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Discontinuation or delay of Goserelin injections [ Time Frame: December 2008 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Any grade II to grade IV AE specified to serious or non serious events during treatment with chemotherapy +/- Goserelin [ Time Frame: December 2008 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Evaluation according to EORTC Q 30 [ Time Frame: March 2010 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • According to menopausal symptom score: E2, FSH, LH, SHGB, and Progesterone at 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months [ Time Frame: March 2010 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Date of first regular menstrual period [ Time Frame: March 2010 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Any diagnosis of pregnancy during study follow up [ Time Frame: March 2010 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 62
Study Start Date: March 2005
Study Completion Date: March 2010
Primary Completion Date: December 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

Study Design:

Prospective, randomized, open phase II trial

Schedule:

All patients will receive an anthracycline-containing polychemotherapy.

Patients randomized to Goserelin will receive their first injection of 3.6 mg at least 2 weeks before start of chemotherapy. Goserelin will be given as a subcutaneous injection in the abdominal wall every 4 weeks (28 ± 3 days) until the end of the last chemotherapy cycle.

Primary objective:

•To increase the percentage of patients with normal ovarian function at 6 months after application of (neo)adjuvant, anthracycline-containing polychemotherapy in parallel with Goserelin compared to chemotherapy alone.

Secondary objectives:

To compare the two treatment groups regarding

  • Compliance to treatment
  • Toxicity
  • Quality of life
  • Menopausal Symptoms Score
  • Ovarian function at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
  • Duration until recovery of regular menstrual period
  • Pregnancy rate
  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 45 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Female
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Written informed consent must be obtained and documented according to the local regulatory requirements prior to beginning specific protocol procedures
  • Complete baseline documentation sent to GBG
  • Age of at least 18 and at most 45 years
  • Patients request to preserve ovarian function
  • Spontaneous and regular menstrual periods before study entry with FSH below 15 mlU/ml in follicular phase
  • Histologically confirmed primary breast cancer with the need for anthracycline-based chemotherapy
  • Steroid receptor (estrogen and progesterone) negative tumor (diagnosis according to hospital standard-procedures)
  • No clinical evidence of local recurrence or distant metastases. Complete staging work-up within 3 months prior to registration. All patients must have (bilateral) mammography or breast MRI, chest X-ray; other tests may be performed as clinically indicated
  • Karnofsky-Index >80%
  • Life expectancy of at least 10 years, disregarding the diagnosis of cancer
  • Adequate organ function including normal red and white blood count, platelets, serum creatinine, bilirubin, and transaminases within normal range of the institution
  • Patients must be available for and compliant to treatment and follow-up. Patients registered on this trial must be treated and followed up at the participating center.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known hypersensitivity reaction to the investigational compounds or incorporated substances
  • Prior cytotoxic treatment for any reason
  • Suspected (primary or secondary) ovarian insufficiency
  • Pregnant or lactating patients. Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) within 14 days prior to registration and must implement adequate non-hormonal contraceptive measures during study treatment; prior use of hormonal contraceptives has to be discontinued before first Goserelin injection
  • Other serious illness or medical condition that may interfere with the understanding and giving of informed consent and the conduct of the study
  • Prior or concomitant secondary malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix)
  • Concurrent treatment with other experimental drugs or any other anti-cancer therapy
  • Concurrent treatment with sex hormones. Prior treatment must be stopped before study entry
