About this study

Official title: The Role of Multimodal Imaging and Circulating Biomarkers in Predicting the Response of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

The BINC-B trial is a diagnostic and interventional study in which various function imaging methods as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PWI, DWI and DCE-MRI) and will be compared with common imaging methods (mammography and/or ultrasound) to investigate if an early response to a combined neoadjuvant chemotherapy in operable or potentially operable breast cancer. For breast cancer patients with positive HER-2, additional Herceptin could improve the response further. In this study the efficacy of combined neoadjuvant therapy with or without Herceptin should be evaluated and the role in predicting the tumor response with different imaging should be estimated.

Read the detailed description

Firstly, the investigators aim to show that the results of functional imaging including dynamic enhanced, diffuse weighted, and perfusion MR imaging biomarkers as well the ultrasonic outcome could be used to predict the response to the neoadjuvant chemotherapy for operable and potentially operable breast cancer (luminal B, HER-2 positive and triple negative).

Secondly, the investigators will study the role of peripheral blood biomarker including circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating endothelial cells (CECs) and subsets, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and lymph cell subsets and their combinations could predict the response of the tumor measured with imaging.

Thirdly, the investigators will establish a mode with these multiple imaging and serum biomarker panel as well as their changes during the treatment course establish to predict the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. pathological complete response (pCR)

    Rate of pathological complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant therapy and to determine efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in primary breast cancer using pCR (According to National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project guideline)

    Measured: from the first day of the the first cycle (each cycle is 14 days) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to the date that breast and axillary sugery will be performed

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response rate

    the summary of clinical complete response and partial response (RESICIST 1.1 criteria)

    Measured: from the first day of the the first cycle (each cycle is 14 days) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to the date that breast and axillary sugery will be performed

  2. Disease free survival

    from the beginning of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to the confirmed time of recurrence or metastatic disease, or death due to any other cause.

    Measured: from the first day of the the first cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (each cycle is 14 days) to the date of first documented progression or date of death from breast cancer, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

  3. Overall survival

    from the beginning of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to the death with any causes

    Measured: from the first day of the the first cycle (each cycle is 14 days) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 23 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

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

Contact Wenyong Tan, Dr (008618924672707, tanwyym@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pathological complete response (pCR) (time frame: from the first day of the the first cycle (each cycle is 14 days) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to the date that breast and axillary sugery will be performed). 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 NCT03242551, which also lists 5 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.
