Identify molecular markers of therapy response/resistance and survival
outcome in patients with locally advanced breast cancer
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
a) To assess changes in genetic/epigenetic disturbances in tumor tissue during therapy
b) The objective response rate (ORR) of personalized medicine, compared to ORR for best standard-of-care using historical data for comparison.
c) Tumor Ki67 reduction after 2 and 5 weeks of treatment in Arm A.
d) To estimate recurrence-free and overall survival when patients are treated with the optimal personalized treatment available as of 2015, using historical data for comparison.
e) To evaluate the percentage of patients completing neoadjuvant treatment as outlined in Figure 1 and completing surgery.
f) Breast conserving surgery rate (potential to avoid mastectomy).
g) To assess the safety and tolerability of the study treatment given.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Previously untreated, histologically confirmed non-inflammatory
breast cancer, >4 cm in diameter and /or metastatic ipsilateral axillary
deposits for which the smallest diameter of the largest node >2 cm by CT
or ultrasound scan.
WHO performance status 0-1
Known tumor ER, PGR, HER2 and TP53 status.
Known tumor Ki67 percentage (if ER/PGR>50% and TP53 wt status).
Distant metastasis not suspected. Patients will undergo radiology
exams during screening phase, after signing the informed consent.
Age >18 years
Patients must have clinically and/or radiographically documented
measurable breast cancer according to RECIST.
Radiology studies (CT thorax/abdomen and bone scintigraphy/bone
scan) must be performed within 28 days prior to registration.
Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical
condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and
follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the
patient before registration in the trial
Before patient registration/randomization, written informed consent
must be given according to national and local regulations.
For arms B-H:
Neutrophils > 1.5 x 109/L
Platelets > 100 x 109/L
Bilirubin < 2 x upper limit normal (ULN). For patients with Gilbert´s
syndrome bilirubin >2 x ULN is accepted if there is no evidence of biliary
obstruction.
Serum creatinine < 1.5 x ULN
ALT and Alk Phos (ALP) <2.5 x ULN
INR < 1.5 |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Unstable angina pectoris or heart failure
Pregnant or lactating patients can not be included.
Clinical evidence of serious coagulopathy. Prior arterial/venous
thrombosis or embolism does not exclude patients from inclusion, unless
patient is considered unfit by study oncologist.
Patient not able to give an informed consent or comply with study
regulations as deemed by study investigator |
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint of this trial is to prospectively evaluate the predictive and prognostic value of pre-treatment assessment of a panel of 300 known potential driver mutations in breast cancer by next generation sequencing of tumor DNA. |
