EORTC 10041/BIG 3‐04 MINDACT.

Methods Randomised controlled trial
 Multi‐centre, international
 Randomisation method not specified
Participants Women, premenopausal and postmenopausal 
 Operable breast cancer
 Node‐negative or fewer than 3 positive lymph nodes
 Exclusion of metastatic disease
 For inclusion in chemotherapy randomisation, 1 of the following criteria must be met: (a) high risk of recurrence according to both clinical‐pathological criteria and 70‐gene signature, (b) high risk of recurrence according to clinical‐pathological criteria and low risk of recurrence according to 70‐gene signature and randomised to use the clinical‐pathological criteria for chemotherapy decision, or (c) low risk of recurrence according to clinical‐pathological criteria and high risk of recurrence according to 70‐gene signature and randomised to use the 70‐gene signature for chemotherapy decision
Interventions ARM 1 (anthracycline‐based): patients can receive 1 of the following regimens:
 FEC 100: on day 1 × 6 21‐day cycles
 Canadian CEF: cyclophosphamide on days 1 to 14 and epirubicin and fluorouracil on days 1 and 8, × 6 28‐day cycles
 CAF: cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and fluorouracil on day 1 × 6 28‐day cycles
FAC: cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and fluorouracil on days 1 and 8 × 6 21‐day cycles
 E‐CMF: epirubicin on day 1, × 4 21‐day cycles
 ARM 2 (docetaxel and capecitabine):
Docetaxel on day 1 and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1 to 14 × 6 21‐day cycles
 
 Endocrine therapy (for all postmenopausal and some premenopausal patients who have endocrine‐responsive tumours)
Outcomes Primary endpoints:
  • Distant metastasis‐free survival at 5 years

  • Disease‐free survival (DFS)


Secondary endpoints:
  • Proportion of patients treated with chemotherapy based on clinical prognosis compared to 70‐gene signature prognosis

  • Overall survival at 5 years

  • DFS at 5 years

  • Safety (early and late)
