Wendy Chen MD Presents Aspirin for Breast Cancer (ABC) Trial at New ASCO Plenary Series Program
The Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology is pleased to announce that the Aspirin for Breast Cancer (ABC) trial led by Wendy Y. Chen, MD, MPH, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, will be presented February 15, 2022, as part of the second American Society of Clinical Oncology Virtual Plenary Series.
The ABC Trial is a study to test whether aspirin will keep breast cancer from recurring and reduce death from breast cancer. It is the first U.S. study to try and answer this question. The ABC Trial is a randomized phase III trial studying how well aspirin works in preventing recurrence in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer after chemotherapy, surgery, and/or radiation therapy.
The ABC Trial met its accrual goal of 2,936 women and men nationwide between the ages of 18-70 diagnosed with node-positive breast cancer and closed to accrual on December 7, 2020.
The ASCO Plenary Series will feature a panel question and answer session with Dr. Chen and Angela DeMichele, MSCE, MD, of University of Pennsylvania, moderated by Erika P. Hamilton, MD, of Sarah Canon Research Institute and Tennessee Oncology, PLLC.
