About this study

Official title: VEGF Gene Amplification/Deletion and Haplotype as Biomarkers for Bevacizumab in Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: DNA analysis of tumor tissue may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in tissue samples from patients with breast cancer treated with bevacizumab.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To demonstrate that vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA) haplotypes that are associated with an increased VEGFA expression will predict superior outcome for patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving bevacizumab in ECOG-E2100 (but not for the control arm).
  • To demonstrate that candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) will further improve the predictive capacity of outcome (efficacy and toxicity) in patients enrolled in ECOG-E2100.
  • To demonstrate that tumor VEGFA amplification or borderline amplification (estimated 14% frequency) will predict superior outcome for patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving bevacizumab on ECOG-E2100 whereas those with VEGFA deletion (estimated 11% frequency) will predict inferior outcome.
  • To demonstrate that VEGFA amplification/deletion will not predict outcome in the control arm of ECOG-E2100.

Secondary

  • To demonstrate that tumor VEGFA amplification will predict increased protein expression as ascertained by IHC.
  • To demonstrate that a combined algorithm calculated from tumor-specific variability (VEGFA amplification/deletion) and host-specific variability (SNPs) will optimally predict outcome (efficacy) with bevacizumab in patients enrolled on ECOG-E2100.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Previously collected tumor-derived DNA is analyzed for VEGFA amplification/deletion and haplotype as biomarkers for outcome after bevacizumab treatment. Gene expression, polymorphism, protein expression analysis, and IHC are performed on the samples.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research 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 17 May 2017. 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?

Comparison between VEGF haplotype and median overall survival (OS) and grade 3/4 hypertension (HTN) (time frame: 1 month). 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 17 May 2017.
