Alternate Title

Phase III Randomized Study of Treatment Decision Making Based on Levels of Circulating Tumor Cells in Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer Undergoing Chemotherapy

Basic Trial Information

Phase	Type	Status	Age	Sponsor	Protocol IDs
Phase III	Diagnostic, Treatment	Active	Not specified	NCI	SWOG-S0500 S0500, CALGB-SWOG-S0500, NCT00382018

Special Category: CTSU trial, NCI Web site featured trial

Trial Description

Purpose:

Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Measuring blood levels of tumor cells may help in learning how well chemotherapy works to kill metastatic breast cancer cells and allow doctors to plan better treatment. When blood levels of tumor cells are high while receiving chemotherapy, it is not yet known whether it is more effective to change chemotherapy regimens at that time or wait until disease progression.

This randomized phase III trial is studying treatment decision making based on blood levels of tumor cells in women with metastatic breast cancer receiving chemotherapy.

Eligibility:

Eligibility criteria include the following:

• Planning to receive chemotherapy as first-line therapy for metastatic breast cancer
• No leptomeningeal cancer
• At least 4 weeks since surgery
• No previous chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer
• For more information about the eligibility criteria for this trial, refer to the Health Professional version.

Final eligibility for a clinical trial is determined by the health professionals conducting the trial.

Treatment/Intervention:

Patients will undergo blood collection and will then be assigned to one of three groups.

Patients in groups one and two will continue to receive the same chemotherapy regimen.

Patients in group three will be randomly assigned (have an equal chance of being placed) to one of two treatment groups. Patients in one group will continue to receive the same chemotherapy regimen. Patients in the other group will change to a different chemotherapy regimen. Patients who are also receiving hormone therapy or biological therapy will continue to receive these treatments together with chemotherapy.

Patients in groups two and three will undergo blood collection periodically for laboratory studies.

After finishing treatment, patients will be evaluated for up to 5 years.

Important:

For more details about this trial, refer to the Health Professional version of the trial summary.
