About this study

Official title: Study of Resistance Mechanisms Against Lapatinib in Patients With ErbB-2-Positive Breast Cancers

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer and the development of drug resistance in patients.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at lapatinib resistance in patients with breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To identify secondary ErbB2 mutations in tumor tissue samples from patients with ErbB2-positive breast cancer treated with lapatinib ditosylate.
  • To investigate ErbB2 copy number changes and expression levels.
  • To determine abnormalities of other pathways (e.g., c-MET and PI3K) as potential mechanisms of resistance.

OUTLINE: Previously collected tumor tissue samples* are obtained for genetic analysis studies. Samples are analyzed for secondary ErbB2 mutations by nested PCR; ErbB2 copy number changes by quantitative PCR and standard histological FISH; and ErbB2 expression levels by quantitative RT-PCR and IHC. Patients also undergo blood sample collection for extraction of DNA (as normal control DNA) and isolation of EpCAM-positive circulating tumor cells using immunomagnetic cell separation technology. Additional research studies may include mutational and amplification analysis of the c-MET and PI3K pathways.

NOTE: *Patients may undergo biopsy if a post-treatment tumor tissue sample is unavailable.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Secondary ErbB2 mutations

  2. ErbB2 copy number changes and expression levels

  3. Abnormalities of other pathways (e.g., c-MET and PI3K) as potential mechanisms of resistance

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 9 sites in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Secondary ErbB2 mutations. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 Oct 2015.
