Study summary

This multicenter, prospective observational cohort study aims to investigate the impact of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) level and key actionable gene mutation status on prognosis and treatment response in patients with advanced breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a non-interventional, real-world observational study. Patients with histologically confirmed advanced breast cancer, aged ≥18 years, with expected survival >3 months, who consent to ctDNA testing will be enrolled. A total of 400 patients will be recruited from multiple centers in China. Peripheral blood (10 mL) will be collected for ctDNA next-generation sequencing panel testing. Results will be returned to clinicians, who decide on subsequent treatment independently. Baseline data, treatment history, treatment regimens, and efficacy assessments (imaging every 8-12 weeks) will be recorded. Follow-up will continue until death or study end. Primary endpoint: overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints: progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), correlation of ctDNA level/mutations/clonality with treatment response and OS, and correlation of testing timing/clinical decisions with OS. Statistical analysis will use intention-to-treat (ITT) principle, Kaplan-Meier, Cox regression, and subgroup analyses.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: From diagnosis until death or study completion, up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: From treatment initiation to progression or death, assessed every 8-12 weeks

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: From treatment initiation to end of treatment, assessed every 8-12 weeks

  3. Correlation of ctDNA level, gene mutations , clonality with treatment response and OS

    Time frame: From diagnosis to death, up to 3 years

  4. Correlation of testing timing (first-line vs. later-line) and clinical decision-making with OS

    Time frame: From diagnosis to death, up to 3 years
