Predicting breast cancer treatment responses using advanced analysis techniques

Official title: Prediction in Silico of Pathological Response in a Prospective Cohort Study of Early Breast Cancer Patients

Run by Institut Cancerologie de l'Ouest · NCT05981326 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if advanced analysis techniques can help predict how early breast cancer patients will respond to chemotherapy, especially for those with tougher subtypes like triple-negative and HER2-positive breast cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adult women with histologically confirmed early breast cancer who require neoadjuvant chemotherapy and have no metastatic disease.

Probably not a fit

Patients with metastatic breast cancer or those with other malignancies may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This study aims to predict pathological responses in early breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy by utilizing multi-omic analysis and a prospective clinico database. It focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of new therapeutic strategies guided by the patients' responses to treatment, particularly in subtypes such as triple-negative and HER2-positive breast cancer. Patients will undergo biopsies, blood sampling, and complete questionnaires to gather comprehensive data for analysis. The goal is to redefine prognostic factors and improve treatment outcomes for breast cancer patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more personalized and effective treatment strategies for breast cancer patients.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results using similar predictive approaches in breast cancer treatment, indicating potential for success in this study.
