Correlation Between Circulating Tumor Cells & Brain Disease Control After

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study assesses the number of CTCs before and 4-5 weeks after focal stereotactic radiotherapy, in single or fractionated dose, and correlate with the local and distant brain progression-free survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Clinical Trial Description

Brain metastases (BM) are the most prevalent tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), with a ratio of 10: 1 relative to primary tumors. In breast cancer, BM are becoming more frequent due to longer life expectancy. Patients with HER2-positive metastatic disease are prone to develop BM more often and they occur in 20 - 40% of cases. Circulating tumor cells (CTC) originate from the primary tumor and can migrate to distant organs. The possible correlation between CTC and the incidence of brain metastases could help define radiotherapy in patients with oligometastatic or not so widespread disease in the brain. However, there are few studies that evaluate these scenarios. Purpose: To assess the number of CTC before and 4-5 weeks after focal stereotactic radiotherapy in single (SRS) or fractionated (SFRT) dose and correlate with the local and distant brain progression free survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Potential invasion markers in these cells will be evaluated and correlated with clinical outcome. Patients and Methods: Prospective, single-center research which will be developed at the Radiation Oncology Department of AC Camargo Cancer Center. Patients with diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer to the brain with an indication of focal radiotherapy, SRS or SFRT, will be recruited. The blood will be collected and processed for analysis of CTC by the ISET method (Rarecells, France). The invasion markers (HER-2, COX-2, EGFR, Notch 1 and ST6GALNAC5) will be analyzed on CTC by immunocytochemistry. Expected Results: If our hypothesis is proven, we may include the analysis and quantification of CTC in clinical practice as early indicator of local or distant recurrence in the brain. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
