About this study

High sensitivity to targeted agents has been observed in patients whose tumor cells present a genetic/genomic deregulation of the target (Kit mutation, ERBB2 amplification, EGFR mutations) together with addiction to the given target. More recently, activation of "alternative pathways" (Kras mutation, PI3K mutations) have been reported as a common resistance mechanism to single agent tyrosine kinase inhibitors (trastuzumab, cetuximab).

From these data has emerged the hypothesis that identification of the deregulated pathway through new molecular tools could allow to propose a more tailored targeted regimen.

Based on these concepts, numbers of phase I/II trials enrich their populations in patients presenting specific molecular alterations.

High throughput technologies (array CGH, sequencing, gene expression array) identify deregulated genes. In addition, these technologies determine whether such genomic alterations are single (expected efficacy of single agent) or multiple (rationale for combination). In a pilot study that included 135 patients, we recently performed a combination of array CGH and hot spot mutation array in order to drive patients into phase I/II clinical trials. This study led to the conclusions that high throughput technologies i. are feasible (80%) and robust, ii. identify "targetable" genomic alterations in around 40% of samples.

In the present study, the investigators will perform high throughput technologies to drive 400 metastatic breast cancer patients into specific phase I/II trials.

What is being measured

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

  1. number of patients included in early phase trials evaluating targeted drugs

    To use whole genome / integrated biology approach to drive patients in early clinical trials. The goal is to include at least 30% of the patients in a clinical trial evaluating targeted agent, according to the molecular alteration detected on high throughput technologies

    Measured: one year after obtaining the molecular profile

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. overall survival

    To evaluate the efficacy of such patient selection in terms of survival

    Measured: 3 years after inclusion in SAFIR

  2. Progression free survival

    To evaluate the efficacy of such patient selection in terms of progression free survival

    Measured: 3 years after inclusion in SAFIR

  3. To evaluate the efficacy of such patient selection in terms of survival response rate

    To evaluate the efficacy of such patient selection in terms of best response rate

    Measured: 3 years after inclusion in SAFIR

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by UNICANCER at 18 sites in France.

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 16 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 4 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in France. 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?

number of patients included in early phase trials evaluating targeted drugs (time frame: one year after obtaining the molecular profile). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01414933, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 May 2017.
