Personalized treatment for breast cancer using new drug agents

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The I-SPY2 trial aims to enhance personalized medicine by identifying which novel drug agents are most effective for different types of breast cancer tumors. It evaluates the efficacy of these agents in combination with standard chemotherapy, focusing on subsets of patients based on their tumor's molecular characteristics. The study utilizes tumor analysis through MRI, along with tissue and blood samples, to predict treatment success and adaptively modify treatment strategies based on real-time data. Treatments that demonstrate low efficacy will be dropped, while promising new drugs will be introduced as they complete evaluation.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Histologically confirmed invasive cancer of the breast
* Clinically or radiologically measureable disease in the breast after diagnostic biopsy, defined as longest diameter greater than or equal to 25 mm (2.5cm)
* No prior cytotoxic regimens are allowed for this malignancy. Patients may not have had prior chemotherapy or prior radiation therapy to the ipsilateral breast for this malignancy. Prior bis-phosphonate therapy is allowed
* Age ≥18 years
* ECOG performance status 0-1
* Willing to undergo core biopsy of the primary breast lesion to assess baseline biomarkers
* Non-pregnant and non-lactating
* No ferromagnetic prostheses. Patients who have metallic surgical implants that are not compatible with an MRI machine are not eligible.
* Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent (I-SPY TRIAL Screening Consent)
* Eligible tumors must meet one of the following criteria: Stage II or III, or T4, any N, M0, including clinical or pathologic inflammatory cancer or Regional Stage IV, where supraclavicular lymph nodes are the only sites metastasis
* Any tumor ER/PgR status, any HER-2/neu status as measured by local hospital pathology laboratory and meets any tumor assay profile described in protocol section 4.1.2F
* Normal organ and marrow function: Leukocytes ≥ 3000/μL, Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1500/μL, Platelets ≥ 100,000/μL, Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits, unless patient has Gilbert's disease, for which bilirubin must be ≤ 2.0 x ULN, AST(SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤ 1.5 x institutional ULN, creatinine \< 1.5 x institutional ULN
* No uncontrolled or severe cardiac disease. Baseline ejection fraction (by nuclear imaging or echocardiography) must by ≥ 50%
* No clinical or imaging evidence of distant metastases by PA and Lateral CXR, Radionuclide Bone scan, and LFTs including total bilirubin, ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase
* Tumor assay profile must include on of the following: MammaPrint High, any ER status, any HER2 status, or MammaPrint Low, ER negative (\<5%), any HER2 status, or MammaPrint Low, ER positive, HER2/neu positive by any one of the three methods used (IHC, FISH, TargetPrint™)
* Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document (I-SPY 2 TRIAL Consent #2)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Use of any other investigational agents within 30 days of starting study treatment
* History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to the study agent or accompanying supportive medications.
* Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
