About this study

Official title: CD10 as a Prognostic and Predictive Factor to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Response in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer

Female breast cancer is the second leading cause of global cancer incidence in 2022 and the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Breast cancer (BC) remains the most prevalent cancer diagnosis among women; nevertheless, considerable advancements in diagnostics and treatment approaches have significantly enhanced patient outcomes. In locally advanced cases, primary systemic chemotherapy is often indicated, and the choice of treatment is influenced by the evaluation of routine prognostic and predictive factors.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) has emerged as a valuable approach to enhance the quality of life ,disease-free and overall survival for early and locally advanced BC patients Approximately 30% of BC cases achieve a pathological complete response (pCR) following NCT. Unfortunately, proper quantification of estrogen- and progesterone receptors (ER and PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2/Neu) and proliferation markers are insufficient to predict chemosensitivity of some breast tumors , so the identification of these cases during routine pathological examination of biopsy specimens could be especially useful in planning the oncotherapeutic strategy for proper patient management.

CD10, has recently gained attention as an independent diagnostic and prognostic marker in various solid tumors with significant metastatic potential. This molecule has been shown to play a role in cell adhesion, migration, and extracellular matrix remodelling.

A strong CD10 expression has been linked to hormone receptor negativity and HER-2/neu overexpression in breast cancer. Moreover, the dynamics of stromal CD10 expression undergo changes during neoadjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

Recent research, has presented compelling data indicating that CD10 expression may serve as a predictive marker for the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue specimen of the baseline TCNB of locally advanced breast cancer will be obtained from pathology laboratory, Pathology Department, Assiut University.

  • Histological diagnosis of H\&E stained sections will be confirmed.
  • Immunohistochemical staining for CD10 .
  • Baseline clinicopathological features of patients who will receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be collected from patients' records.
  • Correlation between CD10 expression and the baseline clinicopathological features with the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer in relation to CD10 expression

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. progression free survival (PFS)

    the average length of time after the start of treatment in which a person is alive and their cancer does not grow or spread

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    the average length of time patients are alive after diagnosis or the start of treatment

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Locally Advanced Breast Cancer, run by Assiut University.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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 response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer in relation to CD10 expression (time frame: 6 months). 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 12 Jul 2024.
