Trial summary

This retrospective cohort study aims to improve our understanding of the current paradigm for treatment of brain metastases in erbB2+ breast cancer patients in the Asia Pacific region. We aim to identify approximately 300 erbB2+ breast cancer patients with brain metastases diagnosed between 2006-2008 in 6 countries. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: This study aims to enrol approximately 300 Erb2+ breast cancer cases with brain metastases in 6 Asian countries (Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand).

Who may be able to join

  • Female patients diagnosed with erbB2+ breast cancer. ErbB2 positivity will be as determined by respective institutional standards, and will be based on medical history only.
  • Brain metastasis diagnosis made between January 2006 - December 2008.

Who cannot join

  • Women who have another primary cancer diagnosed between the time of breast cancer diagnosis and brain metastasis..
  • Patient has leptomeningeal metastases only without parenchymal brain involvement (since this pattern of the disease requires a different treatment approach.)

About this study

Official title: Breast Cancer With Over-expression of erbB2 Study of the Treatment Paradigm in Metastasis to BRAIN (BRAINSTORM)

This retrospective cohort study aims to improve our understanding of the current paradigm for treatment of brain metastases in erbB2+ breast cancer patients in the Asia Pacific region. We aim to identify approximately 300 erbB2+ breast cancer patients with brain metastases diagnosed between 2006-2008 in 6 countries. Medical records will be analyzed to determine the treatment pattern for brain metastases, including anti-erbB2 therapy. Additional objectives are to understand the impact of anti-erbB2 therapy on survival after brain metastases and to investigate the relationship between anti-erbB2 therapy for brain metastases and: 1) the time interval between diagnosis of erb2+ breast cancer and brain metastasis, and 2) the occurrence of brain metastasis as the first site of disease progression.

Study groups in NCT01064349
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Breast cancer patients with brain metastasesFemale Erb2+ breast cancer patients with brain metastases diagnosed between January 2006 and December 2008 in 6 Asian countries (Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand).
Receives: Drug: Anti-erbB2 therapy as part of a treatment regimen for either brain metastases or primary breast cancer

What is being measured

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

  1. To describe the treatment pattern of brain metastasis in ErbB2 over-expressing breast cancer in Asia Pacific countries.

    Measured: Time (in months) from date of first diagnosis of brain metastasis through to death or end of study period

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To describe the survival of ErbB2 over-expressing breast cancer patients with brain metastasis after diagnosis of brain metastasis in relation to the receipt of anti-erbB2 therapy.

    Measured: Time (in months) from date of first diagnosis of brain metastasis through to death or end of study period

  2. Describe association between usage of anti-erbB2 therapy (before brain metastasis) & 1) time interval from diagnosis of erbB2+ breast cancer to occurrence of brain metastasis and 2) occurrence of brain metastasis as the first site of disease progression

    Measured: Time (in month) between the date of diagnosis of erbB2+ breast cancer and date of first diagnosis of brain metastasis

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 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 14 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Thailand, Philippines, Singapore. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

To describe the treatment pattern of brain metastasis in ErbB2 over-expressing breast cancer in Asia Pacific countries. (time frame: Time (in months) from date of first diagnosis of brain metastasis through to death or end of study period). 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 NCT01064349, 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?
