About this study
Official title: Identification of BRCA1-associated DNA Repair Dysfunction in Patients With Early Triple Negative Breast Cancer Treated With Neoadjuvant Platinum-based Chemotherapy
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in correlation with BRCA1-associated DNA repair dysfunction in patients with early triple negative breast cancer.
Read the detailed description
Recent gene expression profiling of breast cancer has identified specific subtypes with clinical, biologic, and therapeutic implications. The basal-like group of tumors is associated with aggressive behavior and poor prognosis, and typically do not express hormone receptors or HER-2 ("triple-negative" phenotype). Therefore, patients with basal-like cancers do not benefit from currently available targeted systemic therapy.
There is a lot of evidence about a link between basal-like breast cancer and BRCA1 deficiency. Many clinical characteristics and molecular features are shared by basal-like breast cancers and tumors that arise in carriers of BRCA1 germline mutations.
Some studies have indicated that BRCA1 mRNA expression was lower in basal-like sporadic cancers than in controls matched for age and grade. BRCA1 is rarely mutated in sporadic breast cancers and, therefore, it is believed that this may be a result of epigenetic mechanisms such as acquired methylation of the BRCA1 gene promoter or a dysfunction in the pathways that regulate BRCA1 expression, such as overexpression of ID4. The profound similarities between hereditary BRCA1-related breast tumors and basal-like tumors strongly implicate a fundamental defect in the BRCA1 or associated DNA-repair pathways (p53, PTEN) in sporadic basal-like tumors.
There is increasing evidence that the BRCA1-related DNA-repair defects, especially defective homologous recombination, determines sensitivity to certain agents, such as platinum salts-based chemotherapy. The complexity in downregulation of BRCA1 expression suggests that these approaches may only be effective in the treatment of a subset of sporadic basal-like cancers. Identification of specific markers for these cancers will be essential to translate an understanding of defective DNA repair into targeted treatments for this poor prognosis subtype.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
The pathological complete response rate to neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy (time frame: after 8 weeks of neoadjuvant chemotherapy). 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 3 Nov 2015.
