About this study

Official title: Impact of Oncotype DX® on Treatment Recommendation of for Early-stage Hormone Receptor-positive Breast Cancer and Its Economic Evaluation Under the Brazilian Society Perspective

155 Pérola Byington Hospital patients presenting early stage luminal BC were submitted to Oncotype Dx® evaluation. Changes in treatment recommendations and costs were obtained from Pérola Byington Hospital. Oncotype DX® incorporation in the Brazilian Public Health System should be considered, as it results in high clinical impact for patient and high economic impact for health system, being a tool that safely and accurately delimits the subgroup of patients who really need AC.

Read the detailed description

Background: It is known that there is significant over administration (and under administration) of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) when standard clinical parameters (SCP) are used for patients diagnosed with early stage RE+ breast cancer (BC). Although absolute clinical benefit of AC may be modest, its toxicity and economic burden is highly significant; therefore, selecting appropriate patients for AC remains an important issue. Oncotype DX® identifies high-risk patients who are likely to benefit from AC, which otherwise might not be identified through SCP and low-risk patients who will not benefit from AC, thus avoiding toxicities and inherent risks. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the Oncotype DX® test on treatment decisions in N0 and N1 early-stage breast cancer patients at a Public Brazilian hospital and to estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and budget impact (BI) of incorporating Oncotype DX® under the perspective of the Brazilian Society.

Changes in treatment recommendations and costs will be obtained from Pérola Byington Hospital. Additional data will be obtained from literature. Medical costs (test, chemotherapy and adverse events), productivity loss, transportation and employment leave will be considered.

What participants receive

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

  • Oncotype DX® AssayGenetic

    After surgery, tumoral tissue was used to perform Oncotype Dx®. Patients were evaluated and therapy recommendations - adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) plus hormone therapy (HT) or HT alone - were captured before and after revealing the test results. Results from TAILORx10 were used to guide decisions for or against CT for individual patients. Changes in treatment recommendations were obtained.

  • CostOther

    Changes in treatment costs were estimated from Pérola Byington Hospital.

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of patients whose choice of treatment is changed as a result of Oncotype Test Low risk

    Changes based on initial clinical measures

    Measured: up to 3 weeks

  2. Economic evaluation

    The costs of each scenario

    Measured: up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Adjuvant Treatment, run by Hospital Perola Byington at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 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 6 Jan 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 Brazil. 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?

The proportion of patients whose choice of treatment is changed as a result of Oncotype Test Low risk (time frame: up to 3 weeks). 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 6 Jan 2022.
