ACRIN 6657 was designed as a prospective study to test MRI for ability to predict response to treatment and risk-of-recurrence in patients with stage 2 or 3 breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). ACRIN 6657 was conducted as a companion study to CALGB 150007, a correlative science study evaluating tissue-based biomarkers in the setting of neoadjuvant treatment of breast cancer. Collectively, CALGB 150007 and ACRIN 6657 formed the basis of the multicenter Investigation of Serial Studies to Predict Your Therapeutic Response with Imaging and moLecular Analysis (I-SPY TRIAL) breast cancer trial, a study of imaging and tissue-based biomarkers for predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) and recurrence-free survival (RFS).Participant Eligibility and Enrollment: Criteria for inclusion were patients enrolling on CALGB 150007 with T3 tumors measuring at least 3 cm in diameter by clinical exam or imaging and receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy with an anthracycline-cyclophosphamide regimen alone or followed by a taxane. Pregnant patients and those with ferromagnetic prostheses were excluded from the study. The study was open to enrollment from May 2002 to March 2006. 237 patients were enrolled, of which 230 met eligibility criteria.
