Genomic Markers for Measuring Breast Cancer Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Official Title

Genomic Markers for Measuring Breast Cancer Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Summary:

The primary aim of the study is to identify genomic markers (circulating tumour cells (CTCs), circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA), transcriptomic markers) as biomarkers of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) among patients with invasive breast cancer.

Trial Description

Primary Outcome:

• Pathologic complete response (pCR)

Secondary Outcome:

• Time to distant breast cancer recurrence (months)
• Time to any recurrence (months)
• Time to death

The study aims to evaluate genetic markers (i.e. CTCs and ctDNA) in breast tumours to predict therapy response and metastatic risk. We aim to investigate genomic markers of treatment response and outcomes in breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The role of CTCs and ctDNA in predicting response to NAC will also be investigated.
