About this study
In plain language
This study tests which new drugs work best for different types of breast cancer before surgery. It is for adults with invasive breast cancer that meets the study’s size, stage, and tumor test rules. Researchers also use MRI scans, tumor samples, and blood samples to look for early signs that treatment will work.
The purpose of this study is to further advance the ability to practice personalized medicine by learning which new drug agents are most effective with which types of breast cancer tumors and by learning more about which early indicators of response (tumor analysis prior to surgery via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images along with tissue and blood samples) are predictors of treatment success.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Age 18 or older, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and able to do daily tasks with little or no help.
- A biopsy must show invasive breast cancer (cancer that has grown into nearby tissue). The tumor must measure at least 2.5 cm after the biopsy.
- Cancer must meet the study’s stage rules: stage II or III, certain tumors involving skin or the chest wall, or regional stage IV with spread only to lymph nodes above the collarbone. Tests must show no spread to distant organs.
- Tumor tests must show MammaPrint High; or MammaPrint Low with estrogen receptors below 5%; or MammaPrint Low with positive estrogen receptors and HER2. These tests check tumor activity and proteins that can affect treatment.
- No past chemotherapy or radiation to the affected breast for this cancer. Past bisphosphonate treatment (medicine for bones) is allowed.
- Blood cell counts, liver tests, and kidney tests must meet study limits. No severe or uncontrolled heart disease; heart tests must show a pumping level of at least 50%.
- Willing to have a needle biopsy of the breast tumor. No metal implants that are unsafe for MRI scans.
- Able to understand the study and willing to sign both required consent forms.
Who can't join
- Use of another experimental drug within 30 days before starting study treatment.
- Past allergic reactions to drugs similar to the study drug or medicines given to support treatment.
- Uncontrolled illness, such as an active infection, heart failure with symptoms, unstable chest pain, or an abnormal heartbeat.
- Mental health conditions or social situations that would prevent following study requirements.
Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
Official eligibility criteria
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
