Biomarkers and Clinical Features of Metastatic Breast Cancer in Patients Treated With CDK4/6 Inhibitors

This study investigates the clinical course of CDK4/6 inhibitor treated patients in the real-world setting among patients with breast cancer. CDK4/6 inhibitors may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Studying samples of blood, tissue, ascites or pleural effusions, and fresh body fluids or fresh biopsy, from patients with breast cancer that has spread to the other places in the body (metastatic) may help doctors learn more about cancer and the development of drug resistance in patients, and predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

About this study

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Delineate clinical features of disease progression and responses to subsequent therapy following progression on ciclib-based therapy.

II. Define pharmacogenomics relationships that could provide a more precise approach to drug dosing.

III. Interrogate biomarkers related to response and acquired resistance in standard clinical practice.

IV. Develop patient-derived models from resistant disease to functionally assess the mechanisms occurring with resistance.

V. Elucidate the socio-demographic features related to the use of ciclibs clinically in the Roswell Park catchment area.

OUTLINE:

Patients electronic medical records are reviewed to capture clinical information, and patients undergo collection of blood, tissue, ascites or pleural effusions, and fresh body fluids or fresh biopsy samples for diagnosis/treatment decision, biomarker assessments, and description of mechanisms of resistance/response related to ciclib-therapy.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Primary outcomes

  1. Collection of clinical characteristics

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Will be summarized by ciclib treatment regimen using the appropriate descriptive statistics. Differences will be evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis and Chi-square tests, as appropriate.

  2. Overall survival on ciclib

    Time frame: Up to 15 years

    Will be summarized by treatment regimen using standard Kaplan-Meier methods, with comparisons made using the log rank test. Cox regression models with time-dependent variables may be considered to account for changing treatment regimens and other patient characteristics.

  3. Progression-free survival on ciclib

    Time frame: Up to 15 years

    Will be summarized by treatment regimen using standard Kaplan-Meier methods, with comparisons made using the log rank test. Cox regression models may be considered to adjust for prior therapies and other patient characteristics.

  4. Progression-free survival on subsequent therapies

    Time frame: Up to 15 years

    Will be summarized by treatment regimen using standard Kaplan-Meier methods, with comparisons made using the logrank test. Cox regression models may be considered to adjust for prior therapies and other patient characteristics.

  5. Site of the metastatic disease and time to progression

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Development of and location of metastatic disease will be summarized using the appropriate descriptive statistics.

  6. Incidence of treatment related toxicities

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Will be summarized by ciclib treatment regimen using frequencies and relative frequencies. Comparisons may be made using Fisher's exact test. Associations between toxicity rates and patient demographic/clinical characteristics may be evaluated using logistic regression models.

  7. Genetic variance of genes associated with ciclib metabolism

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Will be summarized in the overall sample and by treatment regimen using the appropriate descriptive statistics and graphical summaries. The association between these genetic features and toxicity and survival outcomes will be evaluated using stratified Cox regression models, where genotype will be the stratification factor. Additional models may be considered to account for other demographic or clinical characteristics. Hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals will be obtained from model estimates.

  8. Quantitative biomarker expressions

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Will be summarized in the overall sample and by treatment regimen using the appropriate descriptive statistics and graphical summaries. The association between baseline biomarkers and survival outcomes will be evaluated using stratified Cox regression models, where treatment regimen will be the stratification factor. Additional models may be considered to account for other demographic or clinical characteristics. Hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals will be obtained from model estimates.

  9. Development of patient-derived models from resistant disease

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Will be evaluated to functionally assess the mechanisms occurring with resistance. No formal statistical analyses will be performed in regards to the development of organoid and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models.

  10. Socio-economic features related to the use of ciclibs

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Will be elucidated clinically in the Roswell Park catchment area. Treatment regimens and sequences may be summarized by patient demographic and socio-economic characteristics using frequencies and relative frequencies. Associations may be evaluated using Chi-square tests.

  11. Clinical course of CDK4/6 inhibitor treated patients in the "real-world" setting

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Will involve interrogating ciclib treatment patterns, treatment choices post progression, toxicities, clinical responses following progression, and ultimately differences in overall survival.

Other outcomes

  1. Examination of biomarkers of response

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Will examine biomarkers of response/resistance and association with long term outcomes relative to pretreatment controls.

  2. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms

    Time frame: Day 8 to day 18 of cycle 1

    Blood will be collected to interrogate single-nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP3A4 and related genes associated with metabolism of ciclib compounds. These polymorphisms will be related to dose limiting toxicities and dose interruptions. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenomic analysis will be drawn during regular laboratory blood draws.

  3. Circulating cell free DNA (cfDNA)

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Serial peripheral blood samples will be prospectively collected at specified time points and processed for cfDNA and circulating tumor cells (CTC) isolation. CTCs will be utilized for the development of 3-dimensional (3D) organoid cultures and CTC-derived xenograft models.

  4. Development of functional models (patient-derived models) from individuals with progressive disease

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Will only employ tissues and /or body fluids that are being discarded or do not involve any additional procedures for the patients. This includes, excess tissue that is not required for diagnosis or pleural effusions or peritoneal ascites. Cells isolated from the samples will be used for the development of organoid or PDX models.
