Cisplatin added to chemotherapy for high-risk early stage breast cancer
Official title: Phase 3 Study of Weekly Paclitaxel in Combination With Cisplatin as Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Early Stage Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 (HER2) Negative Breast Cancer in High-risk Women
Run by RenJi Hospital · NCT03201861 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if adding cisplatin to standard chemotherapy can help women with high-risk early stage breast cancer do better than with just the usual treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 18 to 70 with histologically confirmed early breast cancer and specific high-risk features.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with HER2 positive breast cancer or those who have previously received treatment for breast cancer may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This trial investigates the effectiveness of adding cisplatin to a standard chemotherapy regimen for women with high-risk, HER2 negative early stage breast cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the cisplatin-based chemotherapy or the standard treatment. The study aims to determine if this combination improves outcomes compared to standard therapy alone. The focus is on women aged 18 to 70 who have specific pathological types of invasive breast cancer.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved treatment outcomes for high-risk women with early stage breast cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored similar chemotherapy combinations, but the specific addition of cisplatin in this context is less common and may provide novel insights.
