Trial summary

Patients with Her-2 positive and triple negative breast cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be included in the study. Paraffin blocks of preoperative core or tru-cut biopsies of the participants will be collected and tested for programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Correlation Between Programmed Death-Ligand1 Expression and Clinical Outcomes After Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy in Her-2 Positive and Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Patients with Her-2 positive and triple negative breast cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be included in the study. Paraffin blocks of preoperative core or tru-cut biopsies of the participants will be collected and tested for programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. The variation of PD-L1 expression among different breast cancer subtypes will be evaluated and the investigator will correlate between PD-L1 expression and pathological complete response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy.

Read the detailed description

Files of breast cancer patients attending breast cancer clinic at Ain Shams University Clinical oncology and nuclear medicine department will be viewed by the investigator and those who fit the selection criteria will be included in the study. Tru-cut or core tissue biopsies obtained from the participants for initial diagnosis will be collected and PD-L1 testing will be done on the specimens. Scoring of PD-L1 will be done using Combined positive score (CPS) score. PD-L1 expression will be evaluated among Her-2 positive and triple negative subtypes and will be correlated with pathological complete response after reviewing the postoperative pathology results of the patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Variation of PD-L1 expression in Her-2 positive and triple negative breast cancer

    We will compare between percentage of PD-L1 positive cases in the studied Her-2 positive and triple negative breast cancer subtypes

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Correlation between pathological complete response and PD-L1 expression

    We will correlate between PD-L1 expression and pathological complete response in the studied cases

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Triple Negative Breast Cancer and HER2-positive Breast Cancer, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. 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?

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?

Variation of PD-L1 expression in Her-2 positive and triple negative breast cancer (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 20 Aug 2024.
