Genetic Polymorphisms Predict Chemotherapeutic Outcomes in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer

July 27, 2015 updated by: Jun Ren, Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute
The investigators want to research whether genetic polymorphisms of drug-metabolizing enzymes can be used to predict chemotherapeutic outcomes in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

  1. Patients evaluation On all patients a complete clinical history and physical examination is performed, including routine hematology and biochemistry analyses. Hematology and biochemistry analyses are repeated at the end of each cycle. Toxicity is classified according to WHO criteria at each cycle for each patient. Response is assessed after two cycles of chemotherapy and every two cycles thereafter, using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor Group (RECIST) guidelines.
  2. Sample collection and SNP genotyping Venous blood (4 ml) is collected from each subject and placed into tubes containing EDTA. Genomic DNA is isolated with a DNA Blood isolation kit.Genotypes are performed by PCR-RFLP, PCR-DHPLC and PCR-direct sequencing, etc.
  3. Statistical Analysis x2 test is used to summarize the association of response and adverse events to chemotherapy with genetic polymorphisms.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Response to chemotherapy
Time Frame: 6 months
Response to chemotherapy is evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RESIST).
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to disease progression
Time Frame: 1 year
Time to disease progression is measured from the date therapy is initiated to the date of documented disease progression.
1 year
Overall survival
Time Frame: 5 years
Overall survival is measured from the date therapy is initiated to the date of death or final follow-up.
5 years
Toxicity
Time Frame: 6 months
Toxicity, as a measure of safety and tolerability, is assessed by the percent of participants with adverse events according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC). Possible toxicities include neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, nausea and vomitting, allergy, and so on.
