About this study

Official title: Molecular Predictors of Outcome on CAF Plus Tamoxifen Versus Tamoxifen Alone in Postmenopausal Women With Node Positive, Receptor Positive Breast Cancer [NCI Correlative Science Reference No. # 8814A-ICSC]

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at biomarkers in predicting outcome in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, node-positive breast cancer treated with tamoxifen with or without cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and fluorouracil.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the value of the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score for prediction of treatment benefit of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and fluorouracil (CAF) chemotherapy, in terms of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), in postmenopausal patients with estrogen and/or progesterone receptor-positive, node-positive breast cancer treated on clinical trial SWOG-8814.
  • Determine the overall prognostic value of the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score, in terms of DFS and OS, in patients treated with tamoxifen citrate alone or CAF with concurrent or sequential tamoxifen citrate.

Secondary

  • Determine the optimal cut point (i.e., low, intermediate, and high recurrence risk) for the Recurrence Score in these patients.
  • Determine the relationship between expression of any one of the 21 genes on the Oncotype DX gene panel with DFS and OS.
  • Determine whether the expression of any of these genes are associated with CAF treatment benefit.
  • Determine the relationship between the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score and DFS and OS in multivariate models, including number of positive nodes, tumor size, tumor grade, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 and p53 status.
  • Determine the relationship between quantitative reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction expression of up to 800 additional genes and prognosis and/or prediction of CAF benefit.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Fixed paraffin-embedded breast tumor tissue samples (obtained from the SWOG Central Tumor Repository at the University of Colorado) are analyzed by the Oncotype DX panel containing the following 21 genes: BAG1, Bc12, CCNB1, CD68, SCUBE2, CTSL2, Esrt1, GRB7, GSTM1, HER2, Ki-67, MYBL2, PR, STK15, STMY3, SURV, B-actin, GAPDH, GUS, RPLPO, and TFRC. The Oncotype DX Recurrence Score is calculated for each patient. Analyses are performed to determine the relationship between the Recurrence Score and gene expression and prognosis/prediction of therapy (tamoxifen citrate alone or cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and fluorouracil with concurrent or sequential tamoxifen citrate) benefit as well as to determine the relationship between clinical and demographic covariates and disease-free and overall survival.

Samples are also analyzed by reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction for exploratory analysis of up to 800 additional genes that may be prognostic and/or predict the likelihood of therapy benefit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 30 May 2013. 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 United States. 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?

Disease-free survival. 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 30 May 2013.
