Trial summary

Primary objective of the study is to evaluate the correlation between level of HER2-neu gene amplification evalued by dual-color Fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) test and time to progression (TTP) in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer treated with trastuzumab-containing regimens.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Advanced Breast Cancer, run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2010. 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Armando Santoro, MD (++39-028224 ext. 4080, armando.santoro@humanitas.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Association of tumor cytogenetic paremeters with TTP and OS. (time frame: one year). 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 2 Sep 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
