Investigating biomarkers and clinical features in metastatic breast cancer patients treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors

The Roswell Park Ciclib Study: A Prospective Study of Biomarkers and Clinical Features of Advanced/Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated With CDK4/6 Inhibitors

Observational Roswell Park Cancer Institute · NCT04526587

This study is trying to learn more about how metastatic breast cancer patients respond to CDK4/6 inhibitors by looking at their medical records and collecting blood and tissue samples to understand the cancer better.

What this trial studies

This observational study examines the clinical progression and treatment responses of patients with metastatic breast cancer who are treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors. It aims to collect and analyze various biological samples, including blood and tissue, to understand cancer behavior and drug resistance. The study will also explore pharmacogenomic relationships to optimize drug dosing and develop patient-derived models to assess resistance mechanisms. Data will be gathered from electronic medical records and through direct sample collection to inform clinical practice.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adult patients with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer or high-risk early breast cancer who are currently being treated or have been treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant or nursing, or those unwilling to comply with the study protocol, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of treatment responses and resistance in metastatic breast cancer, leading to more personalized and effective therapies.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in understanding drug resistance and treatment responses in similar patient populations, indicating that this approach is both relevant and potentially impactful.
