Study summary

Genomics assays that measure specific gene expression patterns in a patient's primary tumor have become important prognostic tools for breast cancer patients. This study is designed to test the ability of MammaPrint® in combination with TargetPrint®, BluePrint®, and TheraPrint®, as well as traditional pathologic and clinical prognostic factors, to predict responsiveness to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC).

Read the detailed description

Patients with suspected primary breast cancer on mammography and clinical examination will be assessed for eligibility by having a needle core biopsy to confirm invasive carcinoma.

A fresh unfixed tumor specimen, incisional or core biopsy will be sent to Agendia to determine the MammaPrint risk profile, the BluePrint molecular subtyping profile, the TargetPrint ER, PR and HER2 single gene readout, the 56-geneTheraPrint Research Gene Panel and the additional genes as measured on the whole genome (44k) array.

Surgical Protocol:

  1. Determination of nodal status:

    • For clinically node-negative patients: Axillary ultra sound, followed by Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) biopsy
    • For clinically node-positive patients: ultra sound-guided Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA), followed by core biopsy
  2. Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy
  3. Definitive surgery:

    • For node-positive patients: lumpectomy, repeat SLN biopsy, Axillary Lymph Node Dissection (ALND)
    • For node-negative patients: lumpectomy, repeat SLN biopsy (optional), no ALND

Response will be measured by pathological Complete Response (pCR) and by centrally assessed Residual Cancer Burden (RCB).

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    HER2 negative patients

    In order to provide some consistency in management and have a treatment policy in place only recommended therapy with several well accepted and presumed equivalent chemotherapy regimens will be used. The proposed neo-adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for HER2 negative patients include: 1. TAC chemotherapy 2. TC chemotherapy 3. Dose Dense AC or FEC100 followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel chemotherapy

    Drug: TAC chemotherapy · Drug: TC chemotherapy · Drug: Dose Dense AC or FEC100 followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel chemotherapy

  • Active comparator

    The proposed neo-adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for HER2 negative patients is TCH chemotherapy.

    Drug: TCH chemotherapy · Drug: T + trastuzumab followed by CEF + trastuzumab · Drug: Dose dense AC followed by T + trastuzumab · Drug: Dose dense AC followed by T + trastuzumab + pertuzumab · Drug: PTH followed by dose dense AC of FEC
