Functional Precision Oncology to Predict, Prevent, and Treat Early Metastatic Recurrence of TNBC

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Breast Cancer Recurrent
Interventions
Other: Functional Precision Oncology
Registration Number
NCT05464082
Lead Sponsor
University of Utah
Brief Summary

This is a prospective phase 2 study to use Functional Precision Oncology (FPO) to predict, prevent and treat early metastatic recurrence in subjects with HR-low/Her2 negative or triple negative breast cancer.

Detailed Description

The aim of this clinical trial is to extend the findings of the investigators' first observational clinical study titled "Towards personalized medicine: patient derived breast tumor grafts as predictors of relapse and response to therapy" (TOWARDS-I). In TOWARDS-II, the investigators will develop patient derived models (PDMs), comprising patient derived xenografts (PDXs) and organoids (PDO and PDxO), from patients newly diagnosed with local or locally advanced hormone receptor-low/Her2 negative or triple negative breast cancer. The investigators will prospectively evaluate the correlation between PDX engraftment with recurrence. Using PDMs, the investigators will perform genomic studies and functional drug screens (FPO). Upon disease recurrence, the investigators will return the results to the physician with the intent to inform treatment selection.

Treatment: All PatientsFunctional Precision OncologyPatient derived xenografts (PDX) are grown in mice. Organoids may generated from patient tumor(PDO) and PDX(PDxO). Organoids will be used for drug profiling. PDX, organoid establishment and drug profiling will occur while patient is undergoing preoperative chemo, surgery, radiation, and may extend into disease-free interval. Patients receive first line therapy in the metastatic setting per SOC or in separate clinical trial. Results of PDM drug profiling, tumor genomic, and circulating tumor DNA results will be returned to treating physician to inform 2nd line therapy. At progression on the first line therapy, the patient will begin new therapy as directed by the treating physician. Any subsequent therapy (aligned or unaligned with report recommendations) that a patient starts after the return of results will be deemed "informed".
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Compare the recurrence rates between patients whose tumors successfully engrafted in mice (PDX+) vs. not (PDX-)Data will be assessed at 3-years from the time of definitive surgery.

Confirm that tumor engraftment as a PDX predicts early metastatic recurrence

Proportion of cases where clinically actionable therapies were identified by FPO.up to 3 years

Assess the feasibility and utility of Functional Precision Oncology (FPO) testing to identify therapies for patients with TNBC or HR-low/HER2- breast cancer who are at high risk of early recurrence

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Correlation between tumor engraftment (PDX+/-) and relapse-free survival, overall survival, and response to preoperative chemotherapy and treatment response as assessed on the Residual Cancer Burden scaleup to 3 years

assess the correlation between PDX establishment and other clinical outcomes

Correlation between MHCII Immune Activation Score (high vs. low and as a continuous variable) and tumor engraftment (PDX+/-) and clinical outcomes (relapse-free and overall survival).up to 3 years

determine the correlation between MHCII immune activation score and PDX engraftment

determine the feasibility of returning FPO results to inform the selection of 2nd line therapy after recurrenceup to 3 years

The proportion of cases where clinically actionable therapies are identified by FPO within 12 weeks of initiating 1st line therapy after recurrence. This endpoint is restricted to the subset of patients where clinically actionable therapies were not identified prior to time of recurrence

Proportion of cases where any type of patient derived models are successfully generated and clinically actionable therapies are identified by functional precision oncology.up to 3 years

assess additional measures of feasibility and utility of Functional Precision Oncology

Correlation between methylated ctDNA measurements as assessed using the MethylPatch assay pretreatment, pre- and post surgery, with PDX engraftment data (+/-) and clinical outcomes (relapse-free and overall survival)up to 3 years

determine if measurement of methylated ctDNA can strengthen predictions of recurrence when combined with PDX engraftment data

frequency with which therapeutic responses in PDX, PDxO, and/or PDO align with the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic responses observed in the matched patientup to 3 years

determine the concordance between therapeutic responses in PDX, PDxO, and/or PDO and matched patient tumors

Calculate PFS ratios of 2nd line FPO-informed: 1st line "uninformed" therapy as a preliminary measure of efficacyup to 3 years

assess the clinical efficacy of treatment decisions informed by FPO compared with treatment decisions not informed by FPO
