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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects >18 years of age with disease progression during neoadjuvant therapy, recurrence after neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy, or progression after systemic therapy for metastatic disease that expresses estrogen receptor alpha (ER+) and does not overexpress HER2 (HER2-, HER2-negative). Subjects must be scheduled to undergo a clinically indicated biopsy or surgical removal of tumor, and excess tumor tissue must be available for research use.

Who may be able to join

  • Men and women > age 18 with histologically documented ER+/HER2- breast cancer or with a history of ER+/HER2- breast cancer, for whom a tumor biopsy or surgical resection is clinically indicated and will be performed as standard of care.
  • Tumor specimens may be from breast (progressive or recurrent) or metastatic sites. Patients with multicentric or bilateral disease are eligible.
  • Patients must have disease progression during neoadjuvant therapy, recurrence after neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy, or progression after systemic therapy for metastatic disease.
  • ER positivity is defined as >10% of malignant tumor cells staining positively for ER by immunohistochemistry (IHC).
  • HER2 negativity is defined as IHC 0-1+, or with a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) ratio of <1.8 if IHC is 2+ or if IHC has not been done.
  • Excess LIVE tumor tissue must be available from the surgically resected tumor specimen, or from 1-3 extra core needle or incisional biopsy. LIVE tumor tissue must be available within 2 hours of removal from patient (shorter time is preferable).
Show all 10Show fewer
  • A recurrent or progressing breast cancer must be greater than 1 cm in greatest diameter.
  • Prior therapy is allowed as long as excess viable tumor tissue is available from the biopsy or surgical excision procedure.
  • Patients must be willing to provide 6 mL of blood, which can be obtained during a routine clinically indicated blood draw (ideally, done on the same day as the tumor biopsy/surgery).
  • Ability to give signed informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • 1. Fine needle aspirates and effusions of bodily fluids are not eligible as sources of tumor cells.

About this study

The investigators will establish a platform at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center to generate novel models of estrogen receptor alpha-positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer, which will be used for research studies to develop novel treatment strategies and dissect signaling pathways underlying drug sensitivity and resistance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center 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 10 inclusion and 1 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 1 Jun 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?

Xenograft success rate, defined as the percentage of patient tumors that yield a growing xenograft in mice. (time frame: 1 year from time of surgery). 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 1 Jun 2020.
