Participants will take 11 capsules per day containing DHA-enriched triglyceride oil (1 g capsules containing at least 400 mg DHA) for a total of 5 g DHA/day divided into three times daily with meals or as tolerated.

Participants will take 11 capsules per day containing corn/soy oil blend capsules divided into three times daily with meals or as tolerated.

Breast Cancer

Participants will take 11 capsules of DHA oil for 12-18 weeks (84-126 days), beginning on day 1 of initial cycle of chemotherapy, and continuing for 4-6 cycles of chemotherapy prior to definitive breast surgery. Study will end when subject undergoes breast surgery.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)

Participants will take 11 capsules of placebo (corn/soy oil blend) for 12-18 weeks (84-126 days), beginning on day 1 of initial cycle of chemotherapy, and continuing for 4-6 cycles of chemotherapy prior to definitive breast surgery. Study will end when subject undergoes breast surgery.

Ki67 will be measured by image analysis at baseline biopsy and at experimental end (surgical excision).

Changes in level of DHA incorporation in plasma phospholipids will be assessed to identify the range of DHA incorporation in this patient population. Fatty acid composition of plasma phospholipids will be measured after lipid extraction, phospholipid separation on thin layer chromatography followed by methylation and separation identification by gas-liquid chromatography.

Systemic immune function will be assessed on stored plasma by U-PLEX Biomarker Group 1 electrochemiluminescent multiplex assays (MesoScale Discovery).

If incorporation of DHA in plasma phospholipids is variable within the DHA treatment arm, possible factors that may influence incorporation (e.g. age of participants) will be explored between high and low incorporators.

Breast tissue from participants receiving DHA or placebo will be assessed for markers of apoptosis (e.g. caspase-3) by immunohistochemistry and calculated by image analysis.

Pathological complete response in resected breast tissue and all sampled axillary nodes will be assessed as absence of invasive cancer on haematoxylin and eosin evaluation as per standard of care.

Rate of chemotherapy associated grade 3 and 4 toxicities, and chemotherapy- associated hospitalizations will be compared between DHA and placebo arms.

The Cross Cancer Institute and the University of Alberta encourages and supports the responsible and ethical sharing of data from clinical trials. The protocol and statistical analysis plan will be made available on Clinicaltrials.gov.
