About this study

Official title: A Combined Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) and microRNA (miRNA) Profiling Approach for the Identification of Bevacizumab Response Predictors in Metastatic Breast Cancer

GEI-BEV-2011-01 is an Observational multicenter study. The study, involving 200 (100 non-responders and 100 best responders) metastatic breast cancer patients, will search for specific genetic variants (SNPs) and miRNA signatures associated with bevacizumab response. Only patients suffering from metastatic (disseminated at the time of diagnosis) breast cancer, treated with bevacizumab, will be included.

  1. -To identify genetic variants as bevacizumab response predictors in metastatic breast cancer
  2. To identify miRNA signatures in whole blood as bevacizumab response predictors in metastatic breast cancer patients.

The main endpoint will be progression-free survival (PFS)

The duration of the study will be approximately 18 months

Read the detailed description

In certain solid neoplasias, antiangiogenic therapies improve response rates and time to progression. However, treatment with antiangiogenic drugs do not improve patient´s overall survival, in addition to being quite toxic and expensive. It is therefore critical to identify reliable predictive factors for drug efficacy and potential toxicity. Pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics are emerging as important tools in the optimization of different therapeutic strategies against cancer. Thus, gene expression profiling and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) offer the promise to more effectively tailor individual cancer treatments by identifying new biomarkers for clinical efficacy. They likely represent a real progress in our understanding of cancer as a complex process and an improvement in patient management and treatment. This grant proposal is aimed at: i) identify genetic variants (SNPs) responsible for the different bevacizumab treatment response observed in metastatic breast cancer patients and ii) determine specific blood microRNA (miRNA) signatures associated with the bevacizumab response The reference endpoint for patient selection will be progression free survival (PFS). To increase the statistical significance of the study, patients will be categorized in two groups: non-responders (PFS<12 weeks) and best responders (PFS>52 weeks). Blood samples will be drawn prospectively from selected patients, they will be processed to obtain purified total DNA and RNA and, finally, they will be analyzed by next-gen GWAS and miRNA profiling, respectively. DNA samples will be hybridized to ultrahigh density Omni microarrays, containing 2.5 million genetic variants while RNA samples will be hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays containing an up-to-date collection of human miRNA sequences (miRBase v15, 1105 human miRNA probes). Standard computational analysis of both sets of microarray data will performed and the results will be correlated with the main endpoint of the study (PFS).

What is being measured

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

  1. Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) and microRNA (miRNA) profiling for identification of genetic variants and blood miRNA signatures predictors of bevacizumab response.

    Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) and microRNA profiling will be performed from DNA and microRNA obtained from blood samples of metastatic breast cancer patients treated with Bevacizumab. Next-generation microarray thecnologies will be performed. Patients will be categorized in two groups: non-responders and best responders. Results of standard computational analysis of microarrays will be correlated with progression free survival data for identification of genetic variants and microRNA signatures predictors of Bevacizumab response

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer Invasive Nos, run by Spanish Breast Cancer Research Group at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 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 Spain. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Due to the low rate of recruitment.). 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?

Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) and microRNA (miRNA) profiling for identification of genetic variants and blood miRNA signatures predictors of bevacizumab response. (time frame: 18 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 14 Jan 2019.
