About this study

Official title: Monitoring of ESR1, PIK3CA and AKT ctDNA Mutations During Real-life Followup of Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated With Aromatase Inhibitors

The estrogen-dependent nature of breast cancer was first reported in 1896 with the publication of George Beatson's observations on the regression of breast cancer following oophorectomy. Endocrine therapy, targeting ER either directly by selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and pure antagonists or indirectly by aromatase inhibitors (AIs) that block estrogen production, remains the mainstay of treatment of hormone-sensitive breast cancer in the adjuvant and metastatic settings.

Intrinsic (de novo) and acquired endocrine resistance constitutes an important clinical challenge in the treatment of breast cancer and multiple mechanisms are suspected to underlie the emergence of endocrine resistance.

Read more

The role of the estrogen receptor (ER), encoded by the ESR1 gene, in normal mammary gland development and the progression of breast cancer is well established. ESR1 mutations, occurring in 10 to 30% of ER-positive metastatic breast cancer resistant to AIs, lead to ligand-independent activation of the ER.

For patients treated with AIs, monitoring of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) for ESR1, PIK3CA and AKT1 mutations could permit early detection of resistance to AIs as recently reported during 2016 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting.

What participants receive

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

  • next-generation sequencing (NGS)Diagnostic test

    ESR1, PI3KCA and AKT extensive exon sequencing will be performed using NGS (Miseq Illumina) at the Biopathology department, Institut de Cancérologie de Lorraine (ISO15189 certified lab). Samples taken at baseline (t0), at progression (tp) and 3 months before progression (tp-3) will be systematically analyzed. The intermediate samples will be stored and kept for additional studies. Follow up assessment will be performed according to prescriber's directions.

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of ESR1 mutations

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. incidence of PIK3CA and AKT1 mutations

    Measured: 1 day

  2. prevalence of ESR1, PIK3CA and AKT1 mutations in patients with and without endocrine resistance at enrolment

    Measured: 1 day

  3. prevalence of ESR1, PIK3CA and AKT1 mutations in patients according to mono vs combo therapy.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. prevalence of mutations of other genes of interest included in the panel from the start of treatment to progression or end of follow-up

    Measured: 1 day

  5. ESR1, PIK3CA and AKT1 mutations predictor of progression free survival

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing next-generation sequencing (NGS) in people with Breast Cancer, run by Institut de Cancérologie de Lorraine at 10 sites in France.

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 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Aug 2023. 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 France. 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 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?

incidence of ESR1 mutations (time frame: 1 day). 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 Aug 2023.
