Trial summary

This research study is looking at tissue samples from women with breast cancer who were treated on clinical trial NCCTG-N9831. Studying samples of 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.

About this study

Official title: Analyses of c-Myc (MYC) and Topoisomerase II Alpha (TOP2A) Copy Number Aberrations; MYC, Insulin-like Growth Factor Receptor-1 (IGF-1R) and PTEN Protein Expressions; and Phosphatidylinositol 3' Kinase (PIK3) Gene Mutations in N9831 Primary Breast Tumors

This research study is looking at tissue samples from women with breast cancer who were treated on clinical trial NCCTG-N9831. Studying samples of 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.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the association between the primary breast tumor protein expression of MYC, IGF-1R, and PTEN and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients randomized on clinical trial NCCTG-N9831.

II. To determine the association between the primary breast tumor amplification status of MYC and TOP2A and DFS in patients randomized on NCCTG-N9831.

III. To determine the association between the primary breast tumor mutation status of PIK3 and DFS in patients randomized on NCCTG-N9831.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the association between the primary breast tumor marker protein expression/amplification/mutation status of the aforementioned markers and overall survival in patients randomized on NCCTG-N9831.

II. To investigate the predictive potential of multiple marker analyses on DFS and overall survival using multivariate analysis.

III. To determine the correlation between the protein expression and amplification status of MYC in patients randomized on NCCTG-N9831.

IV. To determine the correlation between marker protein expression/amplification/mutation status and known clinicopathological characteristics of the tumors.

Study groups in NCT00898898
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm ITissue samples from protocol NCCTG-N9831 are obtained for immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of MYC, IGF- 1R, PTEN, and TOP2A genes. Exons 9 and 20 of PIK3CA gene are amplified via polymerase chain reaction; mutations in exons 9 and 20 of PIK3CA gene are identified.
Receives: Other: diagnostic laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Levels of primary breast tumor protein expression of MYC, IGF-1R, and PTEN assessed using standard immunohistochemical (IHC) procedures

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Levels of primary breast tumor amplification status of MYC and TOP2A assessed using standard fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Levels of primary breast tumor mutation status of PIK3 assessed using molecular digestion followed by HPLC separation

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology.

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 7 inclusion and 0 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 2 Jul 2019. 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?

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?

Levels of primary breast tumor protein expression of MYC, IGF-1R, and PTEN assessed using standard immunohistochemical (IHC) procedures (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00898898, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Jul 2019.
