About this study

The investigators want to research whether genetic polymorphisms of drug-metabolizing enzymes can be used to predict chemotherapeutic outcomes in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description
  1. Patients evaluation On all patients a complete clinical history and physical examination is performed, including routine hematology and biochemistry analyses. Hematology and biochemistry analyses are repeated at the end of each cycle. Toxicity is classified according to WHO criteria at each cycle for each patient. Response is assessed after two cycles of chemotherapy and every two cycles thereafter, using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor Group (RECIST) guidelines.
  2. Sample collection and SNP genotyping Venous blood (4 ml) is collected from each subject and placed into tubes containing EDTA. Genomic DNA is isolated with a DNA Blood isolation kit.Genotypes are performed by PCR-RFLP, PCR-DHPLC and PCR-direct sequencing, etc.
  3. Statistical Analysis x2 test is used to summarize the association of response and adverse events to chemotherapy with genetic polymorphisms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response to chemotherapy

    Response to chemotherapy is evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RESIST).

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to disease progression

    Time to disease progression is measured from the date therapy is initiated to the date of documented disease progression.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Overall survival

    Overall survival is measured from the date therapy is initiated to the date of death or final follow-up.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Toxicity

    Toxicity, as a measure of safety and tolerability, is assessed by the percent of participants with adverse events according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC). Possible toxicities include neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, nausea and vomitting, allergy, and so on.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Neoplasm and Drug Therapy, run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute 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 7 inclusion and 3 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 29 Jul 2015. 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?

Response to chemotherapy (time frame: 6 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 29 Jul 2015.
