Xenografts Development From Surgical Tumor Samples of Patients With Triple Negative or Luminal B Breast Cancer (XenoBreast)

March 18, 2026 updated by: Centre Jean Perrin

A Prospective Study of Xenografts Development From Samples Taken From Surgical Specimens of Patients With Triple Negative or Luminal B Breast Cancer

Patient derived xenografts (PDX) from mammary tumors are usually made from metastatic tumors. Indeed, PDX from primitive mammary tumors or after neoadjuvant treatment are still rare. However, the realization of such PDX (from primitive mammary tumors or after neoadjuvant treatment) would make it possible to have a better knowledge of the tumor heterogeneity to the therapeutic response, to explore the models of tumor evolution during metastatic progression and also observe the mechanisms of tumor resistance in the case of non-metastatic tumors. It therefore seems necessary to develop PDX from primitive tumors in order to observe firstly the success rate of PDX; on the other hand, the drift of the initial heterogeneity, measured by comparison of the histomolecular profile of the tumors with that of the PDXs. It aims to develop xenografts from tumor samples from surgical specimens of patients with triple negative or luminal B breast cancer.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

  • Major woman with:

    • metastatic triple-negative (TN) breast cancer, histologically proven before treatment and high grade, receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and having, after treatment, a breast residue of at least 15 mm on the specimen.

The mammary residue will measure at least 15 mm on the mammography performed at the end of the neoadjuvant treatment.
    • non-metaplastic or inflammatory TN breast cancer, histologically proven prior to treatment, receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and having, after treatment, a mammary residue of at least 30 mm on the specimen. The mammary residue will measure at least 15 mm on the mammography performed at the end of the neoadjuvant treatment.
    • Luminal B breast cancer (LB), histologically proven prior to treatment, receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and having, after treatment, a mammary residue of at least 30 mm on the specimen. The mammary residue will measure at least 15 mm on the mammography performed at the end of the neoadjuvant treatment.
    • histologically proven metastatic TN or metastatic breast cancer with an operable metastasis whose residual size, after chemotherapy, is at least 10 mm on the specimen. Residual metastasis will be at least 15 mm on imaging.
  • Patients in a metastatic situation can be included regardless of the therapeutic line.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant woman
  • Patient deprived of liberty by court or administrative decision
  • In neoadjuvant situation: no neoadjuvant treatment by radiotherapy or hormone therapy
  • Refusal to participate in the study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of successfull PDX
Time Frame: 2 years
PDX will be realized from patient tumor by transplanting a small fragment in a nude mouse. Once the tumor is enough grown up, the tumor is extracted to repeat this step 3 times until we get the fourth PDX with a successful tumor growth.
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
