- Brief Summary
This pilot research trial studies collecting, analyzing, and storing samples from patients with triple negative breast cancer (breast cancer cells that do not have estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, or large amounts of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein) that has spread to other places in the body receiving anti-cancer therapy. Studying samples of tissue, blood, buccal swab, saliva, and urine in the laboratory from patients receiving anti-cancer therapy may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To establish the safety and feasibility of collecting, analyzing and storing clinically annotated panomic and other data from serially monitored subjects with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) who receive care from up to ten oncology practices across the United States.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether molecular changes associated with resistance to treatment can be identified.
II. To understand subject perceptions regarding panomic data and its application to cancer treatment.
III. To apply other technologies to the characterization of subject tumors as they become available.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo collection of tissue biopsy, blood, buccal mucosa, saliva, and urine at baseline. Additional biopsies may be performed prior to treatment change.
After completion of biopsy, patients are followed up at 1 day and 7 days. Patients will be followed indefinitely or for as long as they agree to be in the study, depending on the availability of resources.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of adverse events resulting from performing multiple biopsies measured by the presence of biopsy-related complications, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03 Within 1 week of biopsy The frequency of adverse events associated with multiple repeated study-related biopsies (or leukapheresis runs) will be determined using simple statistics.
Infrastructure for acquiring, storing, retrieving and analyzing panomic data from clinical tumor specimens in a clinically relevant timeframe from participating sites Up to 2 years Findings of potential clinical significance will be included in the reports provided to subjects and oncologists. Similarly, as new information becomes available, information of significance to understanding a subject's tumor or germline genomes may become apparent.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Molecular changes associated with treatment response or resistance Up to 2 years A number of statistical approaches will be used. Will be evaluated by comparing biopsies taken from the same subject pre- and post- anti-cancer treatment, and relating these changes to each subject's outcome.
Develop process improvements Up to 2 years The yield of successfully performing various types of analyses from clinically indicated- and study-related biopsies and leukapheresis specimens as well as the time frame necessary for returning reports will be monitored.
Methods required to analyze and integrate data across subjects and with data from the public domain Up to 2 years Methods and software that can facilitate comparing data from subjects with that deposited in the public domain will be developed.
Removal of any unnecessary biopsies or generation of redundant data Up to 2 years Data across biopsies taken from the same individual at the same time point will be compared to assess the need for multiple biopsies.
Number or frequencies of biopsies or leukapheresis runs Up to 2 years Safety and feasibility data will be analyzed and the frequency, nature, and severity of adverse events will be summarized.
Change in subject perceptions regarding panomic data and its application to cancer treatment assessed by Intensive Trial of OMics in Cancer baseline and follow up questionnaires Baseline to 2 years Subject perceptions regarding the value of panomic testing in predicting the optimal treatment for subjects with cancer and for predicting the risk for developing other inherited diseases will be collected.
Development and improvement of infrastructure for storing and working with data from subject biopsies Up to 2 years Data from subjects will be used to test the infrastructure being developing and identify areas that need to be improved.
