Breast Cancer With Over-expression of erbB2-BRAINSTORM
- Conditions
- Cancer
- Interventions
- Drug: Anti-erbB2 therapy as part of a treatment regimen for either brain metastases or primary breast cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT01064349
- Lead Sponsor
- GlaxoSmithKline
- Brief Summary
This retrospective cohort study aims to improve our understanding of the current paradigm for treatment of brain metastases in erbB2+ breast cancer patients in the Asia Pacific region. We aim to identify approximately 300 erbB2+ breast cancer patients with brain metastases diagnosed between 2006-2008 in 6 countries. Medical records will be analyzed to determine the treatment pattern for brain metastases, including anti-erbB2 therapy. Additional objectives are to understand the impact of anti-erbB2 therapy on survival after brain metastases and to investigate the relationship between anti-erbB2 therapy for brain metastases and: 1) the time interval between diagnosis of erb2+ breast cancer and brain metastasis, and 2) the occurrence of brain metastasis as the first site of disease progression.

- Target Recruitment
- 144
- Female patients diagnosed with erbB2+ breast cancer. ErbB2 positivity will be as determined by respective institutional standards, and will be based on medical history only.
- Brain metastasis diagnosis made between January 2006 - December 2008.
- Women who have another primary cancer diagnosed between the time of breast cancer diagnosis and brain metastasis..
- Patient has leptomeningeal metastases only without parenchymal brain involvement (since this pattern of the disease requires a different treatment approach.)

Group Intervention Description Breast cancer patients with brain metastases Anti-erbB2 therapy as part of a treatment regimen for either brain metastases or primary breast cancer Female Erb2+ breast cancer patients with brain metastases diagnosed between January 2006 and December 2008 in 6 Asian countries (Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To describe the treatment pattern of brain metastasis in ErbB2 over-expressing breast cancer in Asia Pacific countries. Time (in months) from date of first diagnosis of brain metastasis through to death or end of study period
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To describe the survival of ErbB2 over-expressing breast cancer patients with brain metastasis after diagnosis of brain metastasis in relation to the receipt of anti-erbB2 therapy. Time (in months) from date of first diagnosis of brain metastasis through to death or end of study period Describe association between usage of anti-erbB2 therapy (before brain metastasis) & 1) time interval from diagnosis of erbB2+ breast cancer to occurrence of brain metastasis and 2) occurrence of brain metastasis as the first site of disease progression Time (in month) between the date of diagnosis of erbB2+ breast cancer and date of first diagnosis of brain metastasis
