Study population: Study population is limited to patients with advanced breast cancer who are receiving paclitaxel + Avastin

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the breast with measurable locally recurrent, locally advanced (that is not amenable to resection with curative intent), or metastatic disease.

  • Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to being registered for protocol therapy. Subjects are considered not of child bearing potential if they are surgically sterile (they have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or they are postmenopausal.

About this study

Official title: Predicting Response and Toxicity in Patients Receiving Paclitaxel and Avastin for Breast Cancer: A Multicenter Genomic, Proteomic and Pharmacogenomic Correlative Study

This trial provides a unique opportunity in that it combines genomic, proteomic and pharmacogenomic assessments in patients receiving chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer. To date no other trials have analyzed gene and protein expression at the same time points in the same patient, combined with clinical outcome. Similar to previous attempts to predict response based on expression of a single gene or protein, we expect that neither genomic or proteomic profiling alone will be sufficient to optimize therapy. Rather, we expect an iterative process that combines information gleaned from both platforms, modified to avoid toxicity based on pharmacogenomics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Hoosier Cancer Research Network at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of Accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To correlate tumor gene expression (genomic profile) with response to paclitaxel + Avastin in patients with advanced breast cancer (time frame: 36 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jan 2017.
