About this study

Official title: PIK3CA Mutation Status as a Biomarker in Elderly Women With Breast Cancer

This research trial studies phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) mutation analysis in tissue samples from older patients with stage I breast cancer. Studying samples of tissue from patients with stage I breast cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

To assess the relapse free-survival difference between patients with PIK3CA mutated and wild-type (WT) tumors and therefore validate PIK3CA mutation status as an important biomarker in women 70 years or older diagnosed with breast cancer.

OUTLINE:

Previously collected tissue samples are analyzed via mutation analysis of PIK3CA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 stopped early (reason given: Study closed prematurely.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Breast cancer-free interval for patients with PIK3CA-mutated tumors (time frame: baseline). The study lists 5 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 4 Jul 2016.
