About

The purpose of this research is to learn if the CellSearch Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) test can help doctors in making decisions about treatment and monitoring of breast cancer. The test consists of diagnostic CTC counts (enumeration) and expression of biomarkers Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2), Estrogen Receptor (ER), and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and cell free DNA/RNA (cfDNA/RNA) analysis.

Full description

A prospective, multicenter, observational study of CellSearch CTC enumeration, CTC HER2, ER, and PD-L1 expression, and MSearch cfDNA/RNA results in subjects with histologically proven MBC. Treatment for MBC will be chosen and performed by treating physicians/providers. Eligible subjects will be enrolled after signing the ICF. Subjects will receive CTC enumeration, CTC HER2, ER, PD-L1 expression and, and MSearch cfDNA/RNA assessments at baseline and first restaging as part of Standard of Care (SoC). Subjects will receive any additional cfDNA/RNA assessments as part of research collection. For all subjects 4 to 6 tubes will be collected at baseline and minimally before the first restaging visit. For any subsequent restaging visits a total of 3 to 4 tubes will be collected.

Trial design

187 participants in 2 patient groups

HR+/HER2- subjects before starting 1st line therapy
Description:
Subjects will receive CTC enumeration, CTC HER2, ER, PD-L1 expression and, and MSearch cfDNA/RNA assessments at baseline and first restaging as part of standard of care. Subjects will have additional cfDNA/RNA tests at week 4, and 8.
Triple negative starting any line of therapy, HR+/HER2-, and HER2+ starting ≥2nd line therapy
Description:
Subjects will receive CTC enumeration, and CTC HER2, ER, PD-L1 expression minimally before each restaging visit, and cfDNA/RNA assessments at baseline and first restaging as part of standard of care.
