About this study

Official title: Modifications of Hormone Receptors and Biological Parameters of Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated With First-line Chemotherapy. Prospective Biological Study.

RATIONALE: Studying biopsy samples in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying biopsy samples in women who are receiving first-line chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Evaluate the effect of first-line chemotherapy on expression of hormone receptors and biomarkers in women with metastatic breast cancer.

Secondary

  • Assess changes in HER1 and HER2 expression during treatment.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive 6-9 courses of front-line chemotherapy according to the investigator. Patients with estrogen receptor- and/or progesterone receptor-positive disease receive hormone therapy.

Patients undergo biopsy prior to and after completion of chemotherapy for examination of hormone receptors and HER1 and HER2 expression.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 6 months for 5 years.

Conditions
Breast Cancer
Being tested
chemotherapy, gene expression analysis, laboratory biomarker analysis, breast biopsy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing chemotherapy, gene expression analysis and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Breast Cancer, run by Centre Jean Perrin at 1 site in France.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Changes in hormone receptor expression. 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 16 May 2011.
