About this study

This study will determine if patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) mouse models can serve as a reliable model for treatment response for individual patients with triple negative breast cancer. The collection of patient tumor tissue will also provide insight into the mechanisms of therapeutic resistance for those individuals. Ultimately, this study will enhance our understanding of the genomic basis for treatment response for triple negative cancer on an individual basis, while having the potential to suggest new therapeutic options for high-risk triple negative breast cancer patients with residual disease post neoadjuvant.

Read the detailed description

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents an aggressive, genomically heterogeneous, subtype of breast cancer with limited therapeutic options. Many patients with TNBC receive standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) pre-operatively; response is directly correlated with long-term outcome. Patients with residual disease after NAC are at higher risk for recurrent or metastatic disease, but additional adjuvant therapies are not currently part of standard care. Personalized treatment for patients with TNBC requires an improved understanding of the genomic landscape of individual TN breast tumors, as well as improved predictive models of response to specific therapeutic agents. This pilot study will determine if patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) mouse models can serve as a reliable model for treatment response for individual patients with TNBC. The tumor tissue collected (paired pre-and post NAC) will also provide insight into mechanisms of therapeutic resistance for individual patients. This study will enhance our understanding of the genomic basis for treatment response for TNBC on an individual patient basis, and lead to potential new therapeutic options for high-risk TNBC patients with post-NAC residual disease.

Objectives:

  1. To collect and bank tissue specimens from patients with operable triple negative breast cancer at: a) at time of diagnosis, prior to the start of neoadjuvant therapy and b) at time of definitive surgery, after the completion of neoadjuvant therapy.
  2. To collect and bank tissue specimen for patients with advanced metastatic triple negative disease prior to start of any line therapy for metastatic disease.
  3. To create patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models utilizing specimens collected pre- and post- neoadjuvant treatment
  4. To determine if response of PDX tumors to cytotoxic agents in the Champions Oncology Tumor GraftTM (COTG) assay correlates with responses observed in patients.
  5. To perform genomic analyses of patient tumor specimens collected pre- and post neoadjuvant treatment to study mechanisms of drug resistance

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Triple Negative Breast Cancer, run by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 7 Jul 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 United States. 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?

Patient Tumor Response (time frame: Day 1). 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 7 Jul 2020.
