Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The hazard ratio of disease progression in patients with unfavorable versus favorable CTC counts at baseline, 3-4 weeks and 6-8 weeks after the initiation of therapy will be estimated using Cox regression. Kaplan-Meier plots for PFS will be constructed using the favorable and unfavorable CTC patient groups. The log-rank test will be used to determine if the curves for the two CTC groups are statistically significantly different. The hazard ratio of death in patients with unfavorable versus favorable CTC counts at each blood draw time point will be estimated using Cox regression. Kaplan-Meier plots for OS will be constructed using the favorable and unfavorable CTC patient groups.

Who may be able to join

  • Female
  • over 18 and less than 70 years of age

About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Prospective Study to Evaluate the Ability of CTC Enumeration Using the CellSearch® Circulating Tumor Cell Kit to Predict Prognosis and to Assess the Agreement Between CTC and Imaging Determined Response in MBC Patients 一项评价CellSearch® 循环肿瘤细胞检测试剂盒对复发转移性乳腺癌患者进行循环肿瘤细胞检测 以预测病人预后的能力及循环肿瘤细胞检测和影像学疗效判断之间一致性的多中心、前瞻性的研究

The study is designed to confirm the current indication (below) of the CellSearch® Circulating Tumor Cell Kit in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients for use of the kit in China.

The CellSearch® Circulating Tumor Cell Kit is intended for the enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTC) of epithelial origin (CD45-, EpCAM+, and cytokeratins 8, 18+, and/or 19+) in whole blood.

The presence of CTC in the peripheral blood, as detected by the CellSearch® Circulating Tumor Cell Kit, is associated with decreased progression free survival and decreased overall survival in patients treated for metastatic breast cancer. This test is to be used as an aid in the monitoring of patients with metastatic breast cancer. Serial testing for CTC should be used in conjunction with other clinical methods for monitoring metastatic breast cancer. Evaluation of CTC at any time during the course of disease allows assessment of patient prognosis and is predictive of progression free survival and overall survival.

Read the detailed description

A longitudinal, multi-center, prospective study will be conducted in MBC patients to evaluate the ability of CTC to predict the patients' prognosis. A separate population of healthy and benign disease subjects will serve as controls to compare the CTC incidence in this control group versus the MBC group at baseline. Correlation between CTC and radiographic response to the systemic therapies in the MBC study group will also be assessed.

300 MBC patients, each of whom will provide a series of at least 3 blood draws (baseline, 3-4 weeks and 6-8 weeks after the initiation of the systemic therapy) for CTC analysis, will be enrolled. All MBC patients will be followed for a maximum of 36 months for disease progression and survival.

200 healthy and benign disease volunteers, each of whom will donate blood 1 time for CTC analysis, will be enrolled as controls.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ability of CTC levels to predict progression-free survival (PFS) in MBC patients.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Ability of CTC levels to predict overall survival (OS) in MBC patients.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Agreement between CTC counts (3-4 weeks and 6-8 weeks) after the initiation of a new line of systemic therapy and the patient's response as determined by imaging evaluation (6-8 weeks after the initiation of therapy) in MBC patients.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Breast Cancer and Benign Breast Disease, run by Johnson & Johnson Medical, China at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Nov 2019. 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 China. 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?

Ability of CTC levels to predict progression-free survival (PFS) in MBC patients. (time frame: 12 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 15 Nov 2019.
