Clinical Trial Summary

Among patients with breast cancer the subgroup of patients with metastases are considered the group of patients with the worst prognosis. Not only regard-ing therapy decisions but also with regard to quality assured healthcare and health economics this entity of patients remains a challenge.

Recently, novel advances in breast cancer therapy aim at the targeted therapy of tumor entities and identification of patients, for whom the greatest therapy benefit, and the least side effects are expected.

However molecular assessment of the patient and the tumor in the metastatic situation is not performed on a routine basis and in many cases tumor character-istics from the primary tumor are considered reliable enough to make therapy decisions for the metastatic patients. Although molecular reassessment of tu-mor characteristics from tumor material of the metastasis is recommended in national guidelines, only a minority of patients is biopsied, because of the inva-siveness of the procedure, even though biopsy related complications are reported to be rare.

With modern analytic methods from blood based biomaterial there seems to be an opportunity to correlate blood based tumor assessments with actual charac-teristics of the tumor. These include expression analysis, tumor mutation analy-sis, tumor gene copy number aberrations and others. One of the main aims of the PRAEGNANT study is therefore to establish an infrastructure for the compre-hensive analysis of tumor and metastatic molecular characteristics of the patient and the tumor.

Furthermore, health care related outcomes as well as health economics provide novel approaches for integration of patients in study conduct and health care awareness and are study aims of the PRAEGNANT study.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Correlation of the incidence of depression with germline gentic variation and therapies and gene expression from leukocytes. Depression Inventory values will be associated with blood biomarkers, single nucleotide polymorphisms and therapies. Study entry and following a change of a therapy line (event-associated, e.g. after progression) up to month 60
Other Correlation of gene alterations (mutations and or amplifications) and gene expres-sion between primary tumor and metastatic tumor for the prediction of side effects and prognosis. DNA and RNA of the primary tumor will be extracted of archival formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tumor samples and analyzed mutations, mutation changes, and differentially expressed genes. Additionally, FFPE will be used for the construction of a TMA for antibody staining. after 60 months (after study completion)
Other Correlation of gene alterations (mutations and or amplifications) and gene expres-sion between primary tumor, metastatic tumor and circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Circulating tumor cells (CTC) from selected patients will be analyzed for mutations and gene amplifications. Findings will be compared to mutations assessed from FFPE tumor material. Study entry and following a change of a therapy line (event-associated, e.g. after progression) up to month 60
