Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 79 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: * 18-79 years old * Operative Primary Breast Cancer * Node + (N1-3: micrometastasis) * ER + and HER 2- * Candidate for adjuvant chemotherapy in addition to hormonal therapy

Who may be able to join

  • Operable breast cancer with the primary tumour (pT1-3)
  • Pathological involvement (microscopic) of 1-3 lymph nodes. No minimum number of total lymph nodes need be resected. Extra-nodal extension of nodal deposit is allowed.
  • Her2Neu negative by IHC (0 or 1+) or FISH by current ASCO/CAP guidelines
  • Patient's tumor must undergo central review at GHI and there must be adequate material for the Oncotype DX® assay.
  • Patient's tumor must contain estrogen receptors (ER+).
  • Patient must be between the ages (inclusive) of 18-79.
  • Patient must be able to give informed consent
  • Patient has adequate performance status (PS ECOG 0,1 or Karnofsky ≥70) and be a medically fit candidate for treatment of their cancer with systemic chemotherapy in addition to hormonal therapy with no contra-indications to either systemic therapy maneuvers

Who cannot join

  • Patients have ER negative tumors (ER-) by local or central BCCA assessment
  • Patients have HER2 positive tumors by local or central BCCA assessment
  • Patients have four or more lymph node positive disease.
  • Lymph node involvement by isolated tumor cells or cells by IHC only (less than 200 cells and/or ≤0.2 mm)
  • Patients have known metastatic breast cancer.
  • Patients are unable to give consent or understand written language.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Patients with poor performance status (ECOG 2-4) in whom consideration of adjuvant chemotherapy or adjuvant hormonal therapy would be contraindicated.
  • Pregnant women in whom consideration of adjuvant chemotherapy or adjuvant hormonal therapy would be contraindicated.
  • Patients with tumors that on GHI central pathological review appears inadequate for the Oncotype DX® assay.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Clinical Utility Study of the Impact of the 21 Gene Recurrence Score® Assay (Oncotype DX®) in Estrogen Receptor Positive (ER+) HER-2 Negative (HER 2-) 1-3 Node Positive (pN1) Breast Cancer in Multiple BC Cancer Agency Centres

This study is a multi-center BCCA study that evaluates the impact of the Oncotype DX® assay on the decision making of the treating physician and the patient. The Oncotype DX® assay is a commercially available diagnostic test that aids in a physician's treatment recommendation to a breast cancer patient. The study also has a pharmacoeconomic component.

Read the detailed description

This study is a multi-center BCCA study that evaluates the impact of the Oncotype DX® assay on the decision making of the treating physician and the patient. The study also has a pharmacoeconomic component. All eligible patients in which either physician and/or patient determine that results from the 21 gene recurrence score could provide additional information useful in the decision making process regarding adjuvant chemotherapy or not will be asked by the participating physicians to participate in the study. If interested, the patient will consent to the study. The physician will complete a baseline questionnaire to document recommended adjuvant systemic therapies (pre-Oncotype DX®). The Oncotype DX® assay will be ordered after receipt of the Physician and Patient Registration and assignment of patient study number. The physician will discuss the results of the Oncotype DX® assay with the patient once the result is available and upon receipt of the pre-test questionnaire. The physician will complete a follow-up questionnaire (to document recommended adjuvant systemic therapies post Oncotype DX®) after the result of the Oncotype DX® assay is known.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Oncotype DXOther

    The Oncotype DX® assay is a multi-gene reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) test that analyzes the expression of 21 genes, and quantifies the 10 year distant breast cancer recurrence risk in patients with stage I and II, lymph node negative, estrogen receptor positive disease who plan to be treated with tamoxifen for 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Oncotype DX® assay affect on physician's treatment recommendations assessed by questionnaire

    The Oncotype DX® assay affect on physician's treatment recommendations pre and post Oncotype DX® Recurrence Score® result.

    Measured: 1 Month

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Stephen Chia, MD (604-877-6000, schia@bccancer.bc.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Oncotype DX® assay affect on physician's treatment recommendations assessed by questionnaire (time frame: 1 Month). 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 NCT02627703, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Jul 2016.
