Official title
Development of Patient Derived Xenografts (PDX) in Patients With Breast Cancer Who Have Residual Disease After Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy
Overview
Breast cancer patients who undergo neoadjuvant systemic therapy and have residual breast cancer identified at the time of surgery exhibit a high (\>50%) risk of future life-threatening recurrences and death.
Detailed description
This study is being done to collect blood and leftover surgical tissue from patients with breast cancer remaining after chemotherapy or endocrine therapy is completed. We will use the blood and tissue for future studies. These studies will try to find ways to treat future breast cancer patients.
Because there is cancer left in your body after breast cancer treatment is finished, we think the cancer may be different than other cancers. Tissue from surgery will be used to try to grow that kind of cancer in the lab so we can find out more about it and how to treat it.
Blood samples will be used to look at measurements of biomarkers to see how this cancer is different and seek new ways to identify and treat it.
Interventions
- Procedure chemotherapy or endocrine therapy for breast cancer
Collect blood and leftover surgical tissue from patients with breast cancer remaining after chemotherapy or endocrine therapy is completed.
Primary outcome measures
- Generate patient derived xenografts (PDX) and organoids from breast cancer patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant therapy [Time frame: Up to 12 months until death or a maximum of 20 years post registration]
Secondary outcome measures (7)
- Utilize patient derived xenografts (PDX) models to study new drugs/drug combinations [Time frame: Up to 12 months until death or a maximum of 20 years post registration]
- Utilize patient derived xenografts (PDX) models to identify mechanisms of treatment resistance [Time frame: Up to 12 months until death or a maximum of 20 years post registration]
- Correlate the association between Cell Free DNA (cfDNA), Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) and circulating immune cell subpopulations (as measured by CyTOF) with residual cancer burden [Time frame: Up to 12 months until death or a maximum of 20 years post registration]
- Correlate the association between Cell Free DNA (cfDNA) with residual cancer burden [Time frame: Up to 12 months until death or a maximum of 20 years post registration]
- Correlate the association between Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) with residual cancer burden [Time frame: Up to 12 months until death or a maximum of 20 years post registration]
- Correlate the association between circulating immune cell subpopulations (as measured by Cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) with residual cancer burden [Time frame: Up to 12 months until death or a maximum of 20 years post registration]
- Generate autologous co-culture systems of peripheral blood immune cells and breast cancer tumor cells to study the endogenous antitumor immune response [Time frame: Up to 12 months until death or a maximum of 20 years post registration]
