About this study

Pilot, prospective, monocentric study aimed at evaluating the rate of patients with circulating cancer cell/macrophage hybrid cells in the peripheral blood.

The study will be conducted on a population of patients with breast cancer (regardless of stage of the disease and the immunohistochemical subtype).

For each included patient, blood samples will be taken and tumor specimens will be collected for the study.

At the end of the blood collection, the patient will have completed his participation in the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Patients with breast cancer (stage I, II III or IV)Other

    Blood samples will be collected at different times:

    • at Baseline for all patients with breast cancer: before initiation of treatment (i.e. before initiation of planned treatment for stage I to III patients and before any new line of treatment for stage IV patients);
    • at the time of disease progression (or at 12 months in absence of progression) for patients with metastatic breast cancer (stage IV)

    For each patient a tumor sample from the initial diagnosis of the disease (i.e. primary tumor +/- biopsy of a metastasis) will be collected (archived tumor block) for the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of patients with cancer cell / macrophage hybrid cells in peripheral blood defined as the ratio of the number of patients with hybrid cells to the total number of patients.

    Measured: 20 months after the study start

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Quantification of circulating hybrid cells in peripheral blood by automatic measurement (Cell Counter Corning) and expressed in number of cells / millilitre of blood.

    Measured: 20 months after the study start

  2. Progression-free survival (PFS) defined as the time from the date of inclusion to the date of progression or death from any cause.

    Measured: 20 months after the study start

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Patients with breast cancer (stage I, II III or IV) in people with Breast Cancer, run by Institut Claudius Regaud at 1 site in France.

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 6 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 28 Sep 2022. 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 France. 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?

Rate of patients with cancer cell / macrophage hybrid cells in peripheral blood defined as the ratio of the number of patients with hybrid cells to the total number of patients. (time frame: 20 months after the study start). 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 28 Sep 2022.
