Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: DNA analysis of tumor tissue may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment and plan effective treatment.

PURPOSE: This pilot study is studying how well hormone therapy or chemotherapy before surgery based on gene expression analysis works in treating patients with breast cancer. The purpose of this research study is threefold. First, it is to determine if this approach to treatment is acceptable to participants. Second, it is to determine whether it is feasible to use the genetic make-up of your breast cancer cells to predict whether your disease will best respond to chemotherapy or hormonal therapy when given prior to surgery. Third, which is optional, is to determine if the blood levels of Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 IGFBP-2 can be used to monitor the response of your breast cancer to the treatment that you receive.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the feasibility of carrying out a large-scale multi-center trial in which RS would be used to select treatment type in the neoadjuvant setting and whether patients with intermediate RS are willing to be randomized between hormonal and chemotherapy.

II. To determine whether the type of neoadjuvant therapy (hormonal versus cytotoxic chemotherapy) chosen on the basis of gene expression profiling will result in consistently high rates of objective clinical responses in all patients.

III. To determine whether the type of neoadjuvant therapy (hormonal versus cytotoxic chemotherapy) chosen on the basis of gene expression profiling will facilitate planned breast-conserving therapy.

IV. To determine whether choosing the type of neoadjuvant therapy (hormonal versus cytotoxic chemotherapy) on the basis of gene expression profiling will optimize the proportion of patients overall who have a clinical complete response (cCR).

V. To determine whether choosing the type of neoadjuvant therapy (hormonal versus cytotoxic chemotherapy) on the basis of gene expression profiling will optimize the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate in the breast of patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy.

VI. To determine whether choosing the type of neoadjuvant therapy (hormonal versus cytotoxic chemotherapy) on the basis of gene expression profiling will optimize the pCR rate in the breast and nodes of patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy.

VII. To determine whether choosing the type of neoadjuvant therapy (hormonal versus cytotoxic chemotherapy) on the basis of gene expression profiling will increase the proportion of patients with Class 0 and 1 residual cancer burden (RCB) in patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 groups based on recurrence score (RS) following Oncotype Dx gene expression profiling.

GROUP I (Recurrence Score < 11): Patients receive neoadjuvant hormonal therapy comprising tamoxifen (pre-menopausal women) or an aromatase inhibitor (post-menopausal women) for 4-6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP II (Recurrence Score 11-25): Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive neoadjuvant hormonal therapy as in group I.

ARM II: Patients receive 6-8 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy comprising an anthracycline/taxane based regimen over 4-6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP III (Recurrence Score > 25): Patients receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy as in arm II of group II.

All patients then undergo surgery and receive hormonal therapy for at least 5 years.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically. ;
