About this study

Official title: Detection of HER2 Amplification Status and Dynamic Monitoring of Specific Mutations in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer by Digital PCR

This was a prospective, single-center clinical study. The study was designed to investigate the relationship between plasma HER2 amplification or specific mutations abundance and clinical response in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

Patients were divided into two groups according to ctDNA HER2 amplification status by dPCR method. Group A consisted of patients with positive HER2 amplification at the time of enrollment. Plasma HER2 amplification status was measured by dPCR during dynamic monitoring. GroupB consists of patients with negative HER2 amplification when enrolled. Plasma samples were collected before treatment and breast cancer hotspot mutations were detected with NGS, According to the NGS test results, patient's specific mutations were analyzed and selected, which and plasma HER2 amplification status were measured by dPCR during dynamic monitoring.

The study was designed to investigate the relationship between plasma HER2 amplification or specific mutations abundance and imaging assessment in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. And also to investigate the proportion of predicting in advance the treatment efficacy of recurrent or metastatic breast cancer by plasma HER2 ctDNA, as well as the median time difference between predicted clinical efficacy by changes in abundance of plasma HER2 amplification specific mutations and medical imaging evaluation in patients.

The study only focus on ctDNA detection and does not involve any interventions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences at 1 site in China.

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 8 inclusion and 21 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 May 2019. 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact peng yuan, Prof (13501270834, yuanpeng01@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The study was designed to investigate the relationship between plasma HER2 amplification or specific mutations abundance and imaging assessment in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. (time frame: 2020-12-31). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 May 2019.
