About this study

Official title: BREAKOUT -International Breast Cancer Biomarker, Standard of Care and Real World Outcomes Study

BREAKOUT -International Breast Cancer Biomarker, Standard of Care and Real World Outcomes Study BREAKOUT is a prospective cross-sectional cohort study of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative metastatic breast cancer patients who have started 1st line systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy. The study will estimate the prevalence of germline breast cancer susceptibility gene in an otherwise unselected population, describe the treatments administered and estimate the associated clinical outcomes of overall survival and progression-free survival amongst mutation carriers within the context of a low poly ADP ribose polymerase inhibitor treatment setting. Other exploratory analyses may be undertaken to describe somatic breast cancer susceptibility gene and other homologous recombination repair gene mutations.

Read the detailed description

Background/Rationale: Within the setting of metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-ve) breast cancer limited epidemiological data exist on the prevalence of pathogenic mutations of breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) and other homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes. There are also limited data on the treatments and clinical outcomes of patients with such germline and somatic genetic profiles, particularly within this setting. This epidemiologic study will estimate the prevalence of germline breast susceptibility gene (gBRCA) mutations among metastatic HER2-ve patients who have commenced 1st line systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy and, at that time, are considered to have exhausted hormone therapy options (if hormone receptor positive [HR+ve]), per investigator's opinion. Among those patients with a gBRCA gene mutation, treatment patterns and clinical outcomes will be described. This study may also explore the prevalence of somatic BRCA (sBRCA) mutations and other HRR gene mutations among metastatic HER2-ve patients who have commenced 1st line systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy. The treatment patterns and clinical outcomes may be described among those patients with a sBRCA gene mutation and those with other HRR gene mutations.

What participants receive

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

  • Germline BRCA Test (blood)Genetic

    If unavailable from the patient medical records, gBRCA gene mutation status will be tested as aligned to local clinical practice using a blood sample obtained preferably during routine clinical practice. (Note: Blood samples may be shipped to a central laboratory for testing and storage, based on local regulations for shipment of blood samples.)

  • FoundationOne Dx Genomic Profile (archival Tumour Specimen)Genetic

    Archival tumour specimen will be requested from all patients in the informed consent, but is not required for study enrolment (optional consent). Where sufficient archival tumour specimen is available and patients have consented to tumour specimen testing, FoundationOne Dx genomic profiling may take place as follows:

    • Tumour Specimen: Acceptable samples include formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (preferred) or FFPE specimens, including core needle biopsies, fine-needle aspirates and effusion cytologies.
    • Tumour Testing (optional): archival tumour specimens, where available, will be tested for mutations in HRR genes including BRCA1 and BRCA2 and other genomic alterations using the FoundationOne Dx genomic profile.
  • Follow-upOther

    Patients who test positive for a gBRCA gene mutation, and/or sBRCA or other HRR gene mutations (optional testing), will be followed prospectively for assessment of treatment patterns and associated clinical outcomes up to 30-months.

    • Patients who test negative for gBRCA gene mutations, sBRCA and other HRR gene mutations, no further data will be collected post baseline. Patients presenting other genomic alterations that are identified by the FoundationOne Dx genomic profile will not continue beyond baseline as part of this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. BRCA Mutational status (BRCA1 mutated and/or BRCA2 mutated or BRCA wild type).

    The prevalence of gBRCA gene mutations will be evaluated by calculating the proportion of patients that test positive for a gBRCA gene mutation (BRCA1 mutated and/or BRCA2 mutated).

    Measured: At one time point at inclusion in the study up to 12 months after the beginning of the study.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Descriptive statistics for treatments administered by line of therapy from 1st line metastatic breast cancer.

    Treatment patterns will be described by line of therapy. Treatment combinations, number of cycles per line, schedules, durations, and reason for discontinuation will be summarized descriptively.

    Measured: 2.5 years (30 months) since the beginning of the study.

  2. Progression free survival by line of therapy

    Progression free survival (in months) for each line of treatment, defined as the time from the date of start of each line of treatment to the documented date of progression as determined by the investigator (radiologic or symptomatic), or death from any cause in the absence of progression.

    Measured: 2.5 years (30 months) since the beginning of the study.

  3. Overall survival by line of therapy

    Overall survival (OS) defined as the time from the start date of first line chemotherapy in the metastatic setting until the date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 30 months. In addition, OS since diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer and OS since the start of each subsequent therapy will be estimated.

    Measured: 2.5 years (30 months) since the beginning of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 98 sites in 15 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 20 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 98 sites in United States, United Kingdom, Turkey (Türkiye), Spain, Japan and 10 more countries. 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?

BRCA Mutational status (BRCA1 mutated and/or BRCA2 mutated or BRCA wild type). (time frame: At one time point at inclusion in the study up to 12 months after the beginning of the study.). 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 NCT03078036, 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 20 May 2020.
