About this study

Official title: Intensive Trial of OMics in Cancer (ITOMIC) - Intensive Longitudinal Monitoring in Subjects With Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

This pilot research trial studies collecting, analyzing, and storing samples from patients with triple negative breast cancer (breast cancer cells that do not have estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, or large amounts of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein) that has spread to other places in the body receiving anti-cancer therapy. Studying samples of tissue, blood, buccal swab, saliva, and urine in the laboratory from patients receiving anti-cancer therapy may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To establish the safety and feasibility of collecting, analyzing and storing clinically annotated panomic and other data from serially monitored subjects with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) who receive care from up to ten oncology practices across the United States.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine whether molecular changes associated with resistance to treatment can be identified.

II. To understand subject perceptions regarding panomic data and its application to cancer treatment.

III. To apply other technologies to the characterization of subject tumors as they become available.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo collection of tissue biopsy, blood, buccal mucosa, saliva, and urine at baseline. Additional biopsies may be performed prior to treatment change.

After completion of biopsy, patients are followed up at 1 day and 7 days. Patients will be followed indefinitely or for as long as they agree to be in the study, depending on the availability of resources.

Cytology Specimen Collection Procedure, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Quality-of-Life Assessment, Questionnaire Administration

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of adverse events resulting from performing multiple biopsies measured by the presence of biopsy-related complications, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03

    The frequency of adverse events associated with multiple repeated study-related biopsies (or leukapheresis runs) will be determined using simple statistics.

    Measured: Within 1 week of biopsy

  2. Infrastructure for acquiring, storing, retrieving and analyzing panomic data from clinical tumor specimens in a clinically relevant timeframe from participating sites

    Findings of potential clinical significance will be included in the reports provided to subjects and oncologists. Similarly, as new information becomes available, information of significance to understanding a subject's tumor or germline genomes may become apparent.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change in subject perceptions regarding panomic data and its application to cancer treatment assessed by Intensive Trial of OMics in Cancer baseline and follow up questionnaires

    Subject perceptions regarding the value of panomic testing in predicting the optimal treatment for subjects with cancer and for predicting the risk for developing other inherited diseases will be collected.

    Measured: Baseline to 2 years

  2. Develop process improvements

    The yield of successfully performing various types of analyses from clinically indicated- and study-related biopsies and leukapheresis specimens as well as the time frame necessary for returning reports will be monitored.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  3. Development and improvement of infrastructure for storing and working with data from subject biopsies

    Data from subjects will be used to test the infrastructure being developing and identify areas that need to be improved.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Methods required to analyze and integrate data across subjects and with data from the public domain

    Methods and software that can facilitate comparing data from subjects with that deposited in the public domain will be developed.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  5. Molecular changes associated with treatment response or resistance

    A number of statistical approaches will be used. Will be evaluated by comparing biopsies taken from the same subject pre- and post- anti-cancer treatment, and relating these changes to each subject's outcome.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  6. Number or frequencies of biopsies or leukapheresis runs

    Safety and feasibility data will be analyzed and the frequency, nature, and severity of adverse events will be summarized.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  7. Removal of any unnecessary biopsies or generation of redundant data

    Data across biopsies taken from the same individual at the same time point will be compared to assess the need for multiple biopsies.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Estrogen Receptor Negative and HER2/Neu Negative, run by University of Washington at 2 sites 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?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 was stopped early (reason given: Terminated due to loss of funding.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence of adverse events resulting from performing multiple biopsies measured by the presence of biopsy-related complications, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03 (time frame: Within 1 week of biopsy). 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 Sep 2021.
