  Purpose

Study Aims

  1. To measure the clinic response rates in patients with breast cancer more than 2 cm and/or lymph node positive breast cancer treated with 2-4 cycles of biweekly doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide with GM-CSF (days 5-14) followed by weekly carboplatin/nab-paclitaxel given for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week of rest, for a total of 9-12 doses. (Her-2 positive patients, in addition, will receive Trastuzumab weekly (12-16 doses) and Her-2 negative patients will receive Bevacizumab (6-8 doses) q 2 weeks).
  2. To measure the microscopic pathological response rate of this regimen.
  3. To measure toxicity and the delivered dose intensity of this regimen.
  4. To assess the association between microscopic pathologic complete response and clinical complete response at the primary tumor site in these patients.
  5. To determine whether the GM-CSF increases the post treatment dendritic cells (S100+) percentage in the tumor draining lymph node as compared to pretreatment S100+ cells.
  6. To determine whether the patients with a higher percent S100+ have a better clinical, pathological response, DFS, and OS.
  7. To determine whether flow cytometry of dendritic cells performed post-treatment in blood sample shows an increase in dendritic cell population compared to pretreatment levels.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients must be women with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer that is more than 2 cm and/or lymph node positive. Histologic confirmation shall be by either core needle biopsy or incisional biopsy. Punch biopsy is allowed if invasive breast cancer is documented.
  • Patients must meet one of the criteria defined below (indicate one):

    1. Selected Stage IIB (T3, N0, M0) or IIIA (T3, N1-2, M0) disease judged primarily unresectable by an experienced breast surgeon; or otherwise deemed - appropriate candidates for neoadjuvant treatment.
    2. Stage IIIB (T4, Any N, M0) or (Any T, N3, M0) disease.
  • Physical examination, chest x-ray and any x-rays or scans needed for tumor assessment must be performed within 90 days prior to registration.
  • Patients with the clinical diagnosis of congestive heart failure or angina pectoris are NOT eligible. All patients must have a MUGA or echocardiogram scan performed within 90 days prior to registration and LVEF% must be greater than the institutional lower limit of normal.
  • Patients must have a serum creatinine and bilirubin ≤ the institutional upper limit of normal, and an SGOT or SGPT ≤ 2x the institutional upper limit of normal. These tests must have been performed within 90 days prior to registration.
  • Patients must have an ANC of ≥ 1,500/μl and a platelet count of ≥ 100,000/μl. These tests must have been performed within 90 days prior to registration.
  • Patients must have a performance status of 0-2 by Zubrod criteria
  • Pregnant or nursing women may not participate due to the possibility of fetal harm or of harm to nursing infants from this treatment regimen. Women of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method. A urine pregnancy test is required for women of childbearing potential.
  • In calculating days of tests and measurements, the day a test or measurement is done is considered Day 0. Therefore, if a test is done on a Monday, the Monday four weeks later would be considered Day 28. This allows for efficient patient scheduling without exceeding the guidelines. If Day 28 or 42 falls on a weekend or holiday, the limit may be extended to the next working day.
  • All patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign and give written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines.
