Trial summary

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and DNA in the laboratory from patients who received chemotherapy with or without trastuzumab may help doctors learn more about the effects of trastuzumab on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Adjuvant Chemotherapy Combined With Trastuzumab in the Randomized Phase III Trial N9831 Actively Immunizes Patients Against Tumor Antigens

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and DNA in the laboratory from patients who received chemotherapy with or without trastuzumab may help doctors learn more about the effects of trastuzumab on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research trial studies blood and DNA samples from patients with breast cancer treated with chemotherapy with or without trastuzumab.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the role of trastuzumab in the generation of HER2-specific antibodies in breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant combination therapy.
  • To determine whether the improved disease-free period and overall survival of patients treated in the adjuvant setting with combination of chemotherapy and trastuzumab is dependent on the Fcγ receptor genotype of the patient.

OUTLINE: Previously collected serum and DNA samples are analyzed for HER2-specific antibodies and FcγR genotype by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2019. 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 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?

disease-free survival (time frame: up to 1 month). The study lists 2 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 Jul 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
