Trial summary

A genomic test was developed to predict chemo-sensitivity to taxane-anthracycline-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment. The primary aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the microarray-based, genomic test as a predictor of axillary lymph node response. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Validation of Genomic Signatures to Predict Treatment Response in the Axillary Nodes After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients With HER2-negative Breast Cancer

A genomic test was developed to predict chemo-sensitivity to taxane-anthracycline-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment. The primary aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the microarray-based, genomic test as a predictor of axillary lymph node response. Also, to determine whether the probability of achieving negative axillary nodes, is sufficiently high for patients whose breast cancer is predicted to be chemo-sensitive to support omitting axillary dissection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Probability of achieving a negative axillary nodal status

    The overall rate of pathologic lymph node-negative status (pLN0) will be evaluated, including clinically lymph node-negative (cLN-) and lymph node-positive (cLN+) patients. For sample size calculation we will consider the rate of nodal conversion from clinically node-positive (cLN+) before treatment to pathologic node-negative (pLN0) after the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients who are clinically node positive (cLN+) will be evaluated for nodal response, i.e. conversion to pLN0 status. We assume that 30% of these patients will be predicted by the genomic predictor as responders (i.e. pLN0 status) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and that 70% of them will actually achieve pLN0 status. The study will be sized to have 80% power to detect observed response (pLN-negative) rates > 50% in cLN-positive patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy at a 95% confidence level (one sided). Probability will be measured in percent.

    Measured: at time of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Neoplasms, run by Medical University of Graz at 1 site in Austria.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 Aug 2020. 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 Austria. 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?

Probability of achieving a negative axillary nodal status (time frame: at time of surgery). 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 NCT02032745, 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 Aug 2020.
