Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of using EndoPredict® clinically to inform treatment decisions for extended endocrine therapy, and the subsequent impact on patient outcomes.

Read the detailed description

The EndoPredict® molecular test is validated to predict late distant recurrence after 5 years of endocrine therapy in women with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) early stage breast cancer, with or without treatment with adjuvant chemotherapy. The test provides an individualized EPclin score based on the tumor gene expression, tumor size and nodal status, and categorizes patients as High or Low risk of distant recurrence.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) at 5-10 years in patients with ER+/HER2- early stage breast cancer with EPclin Low scores that did not extend endocrine therapy.

Data collection is prospective and patient enrollment is expected to occur over 24 months. The study will enroll patients who are near the 5-year post-diagnosis time point when decisions on extending endocrine therapy are being made. Patient breast cancer tumors, stored from surgical collection after initial diagnosis, will be tested with EndoPredict and a report generated. The provider will convey the report results to the patient and establish a treatment plan to continue or forgo endocrine therapy. Patients will then be followed for 6 years with data collection every year, and outcomes (distant and local disease recurrence, second primary breast cancer, etc.) recorded.

The associations between outcomes and treatment, EPclin score and risk category, EP molecular score, and clinicopathologic features will be investigated in all patients and in subpopulations (node negative, node positive, treated with or without chemotherapy, etc.).

Study population

Approximately 2,800 patients with ER+, HER2- breast cancer will be enrolled in this study across multiple sites. These patients will include both node-positive and node negative patients, with a minimum of 1673 patients with low-risk EPclin scores including 1,505 who forego extended endocrine therapy. Patients will be eligible for the study if they meet the following inclusion criteria.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Female
  • At least 18 years of age at time of enrollment
  • Able to provide
  • ER+, - breast tumor
  • Stage T1-T3
  • Currently receiving endocrine therapy
  • Are between 4 and 6.5 years post-invasive breast cancer diagnosis
  • Have all available information to produce an EPclin score, including treatment-naïve tumor stage, nodal status, and sufficient amount of remaining tissue from or resection to perform genomic testing (section 9)
  • Patient and physician are willing to consider a change in endocrine therapy

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • disease or currently active additional cancer diagnosis (except non- melanoma skin cancer) or any second primary breast cancer (includes ductal and/or lobular carcinoma in situ)
  • Patient received systemic chemotherapy within 1 year of enrollment
  • Currently enrolled in an interventional clinical trial or other clinical trial that precludes freely making decisions regarding extended endocrine therapy
  • More than 3 positive nodes
  • Received treatment (new-adjuvant chemotherapy or neo-adjuvant endocrine therapy)
  • Are beyond 7 years post-breast cancer diagnosis
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

HER2

HER2 is a protein, made from the ERBB2 gene, that drives the growth of some cancers. A study may look for a level of the protein, extra copies of the gene, or a particular change in it.

In breast cancer, protein tests are read as HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-negative; other cancers use their own rules. Check which test result the study requires.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 17, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
