About this study

Official title: Differential Response of Breast Cancer Patients on E2100 Treated With Bevacizumab as a Function of Genetic Polymorphisms of VEGF and KDR

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 understand how well patients respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is examining tumor tissue samples from patients with breast cancer treated with bevacizumab on clinical trial ECOG-2100 to learn more about DNA changes and response in these patients.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Assess the effect of known variant polymorphisms (with functionally important associations) of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene on outcome (time to progression) in patients with breast cancer treated with bevacizumab on clinical trial ECOG-2100.

Secondary

  • Assess the effect of known variant polymorphisms (with functionally important associations) of the VEGF receptor-2 (KDR) gene on outcome (time to progression) in these patients.
  • Assess the effect of known variant polymorphisms of these genes on efficacy (objective response rate and survival) in these patients.
  • Assess the effect of known variant polymorphisms of these genes on toxicity outcome in these patients.
  • Assess the effect of VEGF polymorphisms on VEGF expression by immunohistochemical staining (a known prognostic marker).
  • Assess the effect of KDR polymorphisms on KDR expression by immunohistochemical staining.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Tissue and genomic DNA samples from paraffin-embedded primary tumor are examined using standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) restriction fragment-length polymorphisms, immunohistochemistry, allele-specific PCR, and/or Taqman-based assays. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptor-2 (KDR) expression and polymorphisms are assessed.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 500 specimens will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to progression in patients with a known polymorphism vs those with wild-type vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to progression in patients with a known polymorphism vs those with wild-type VEGF receptor-2 (KDR) gene

  2. Difference in response rate, survival, and toxicity in patients with a known polymorphism vs wild-type VEGF and KDR

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group.

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 4 Apr 2013. 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?

Time to progression in patients with a known polymorphism vs those with wild-type vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene. 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 4 Apr 2013.
