Extended Clinical Follow up and Biospecimen Collection for Patients Enrolled in TAILORx and RxPONDER: A Companion Protocol

The purpose of this study is to retrieve tissue samples from individuals with breast cancer who previously enrolled on the PACCT-1 (TAILORx) or S1007 (RxPONDER) trials and experiences a recurrence of their cancer (Cohort 1, 2, and 3), and/or the tumor initially removed at surgery in patients previously enrolled in step 1 of S1007 (RxPONDER) and found to have a high Recurrence Score of 26-100 (Cohort 3) but not followed on the study after that point. The tissue will be used for future research designed to understand why breast cancer recurs despite hormonal therapy or chemotherapy plus hormonal therapy.

About this study

To collect tumor biospecimens from patients who previously enrolled in either TAILORx or RxPONDER. There are 3 separate cohorts separated by recurrence score and study:

  • Cohort 1= TAILORx w/ recurrence score of 0-100
  • Cohort 2= RXPONDER w/ recurrence score of 0-25
  • Cohort 3= RxPONDER w/ recurrence score of 26-100

These samples will be used to assess the following primary objectives:

  • Patterns of clonal evolution and the landscape of somatic alterations in paired primary tumor samples and recurrence samples
  • Prevalence of the integrative cluster (IntClust) and intrinsic (PAM50) subtypes and of subtype switching in paired primary tumor samples and recurrence samples
  • Identify molecular signatures, including the SET 2/3 RNA expression assay, of primary tumor specimens associated with recurrence in patients with high genomic risk and high clinical risk (Cohort 3) who received adjuvant chemotherapy plus endocrine therapy.

The study team also plans to evaluate immune composition and the prevalence of tumor-immune microenvironment (TME subtypes), and characterize the TME and cell-cell interactions in native tissue context through spatial tanscriptomic and proteomic profiling of tissue sections.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Patient must have met the criteria for 1 of the 3 possible cohorts described below:
  • Cohort 1: Previously enrolled on TAILORx (PACCT-1) with recurrence score (RS) 0-100 AND had a biopsy-confirmed locoregional, distant, or both locoregional and distant recurrence prior to registration on this protocol.
  • Cohort 2: Previously enrolled on Step 2 of RxPONDER (S1007) with a recurrence score (RS) of 0-25 AND had a biopsy-confirmed locoregional, distant, or both locoregional and distant recurrence prior to registration on this protocol.
  • Cohort 3: Previously enrolled on Step 1 of RxPONDER and found to have a high Oncotype DX RS 26-100.
  • Patient must have been a TAILORx (RS 0-100) or RxPONDER (RS 0-100) study participant who has the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document for participation in this non-intervention study (cohorts 1, 2, or 3). Patients with impaired decision-making capacity (IDMC) who have a legally authorized representative (LAR) or caregiver and/or family member available will also be considered eligible.
  • Patient must have tumor tissue available from each cohort as outlined below:
  • Patients from Cohorts 1 and 2 must have relapse tumor tissue specimen available at the time of registration for submission to ECOG-ACRIN Central Biorepository and Pathology Facility within 30 days of registration.
  • Patients from Cohort 3 must have primary tumor tissue specimen available at time of EA1241 registration for submission to ECOG-ACRIN Central Biorepository and Pathology Facility within 30 days of registration

Primary outcomes

  1. Patterns of clonal evolution

    Time frame: 2 years

    Conditional logistic regression for matched pairs, with the recurrence sample representing the case and the baseline sample the non-case in each pair, will be used to test for differences between recurrence and baseline, to estimate odds ratios, and to jointly model effects. The test for association of a single binary factor in this approach is equivalent to McNemar's test.

  2. Prevalence of the integrative cluster (IntClust) and intrinsic (PAM50) subtypes

    Time frame: 2 years

    Conditional logistic regression for matched pairs, with the recurrence sample representing the case and the baseline sample the non-case in each pair, will be used to test for differences between recurrence and baseline, to estimate odds ratios, and to jointly model effects. The test for association of a single binary factor in this approach is equivalent to McNemar's test.

  3. Molecular signatures of primary tumor specimens

    Time frame: 2 years

    Conditional logistic regression for matched pairs, with the recurrence sample representing the case and the baseline sample the non-case in each pair, will be used to test for differences between recurrence and baseline, to estimate odds ratios, and to jointly model effects. The test for association of a single binary factor in this approach is equivalent to McNemar's test.
