Observational Study of CDK4/6 Inhibitors in Metastatic Breast Cancer

This study is looking at how patients with metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread) respond to treatments called CDK4/6 inhibitors (like ciclib) in real-world settings. Doctors want to understand how these medicines affect the growth of tumor cells by blocking certain enzymes. By studying samples of your blood, tissue, and other body fluids, researchers hope to learn more about how cancer develops resistance to treatment and predict how well patients will respond. You may be able to join if you are an adult with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer or HR+/HER2- node-positive, high-risk early breast cancer, and are being or have been treated with ciclib-based therapies. The study will track how long you live and how long your cancer is controlled while on ciclib, for up to 15 years.

Study design
This is an observational study planning to enroll 700 participants. It involves reviewing medical records and collecting samples.
What's involved
You would provide samples of blood, tissue, ascites or pleural effusions, and fresh body fluids or fresh biopsy samples. Your electronic health records will also be reviewed.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study will track your overall survival and progression-free survival on ciclib for up to 15 years.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

All adult patients with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer or HR+/HER2-node positive, high risk early breast cancer who are being or have been treated with ciclib-based therapies are eligible for inclusion in this study
This includes patients receiving standard of care therapy for ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, as well as those who would be eligible to participate in a non-interventional study while on a clinical study open at Roswell Park or St. Vincent's Hospital
Screening will occur in breast oncology clinic, by review of patient medical records for the pending, ongoing, or past treatment with ciclib-based therapy
Participant must understand the prospective nature of this study and sign an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board approved written informed consent form

Exclusion

Pregnant of nursing female subjects
Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements
  • Collection of clinical characteristicsUp 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.

  • Overall survival on ciclibUp 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.

  • Progression-free survival on ciclibUp 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.

  • Progression-free survival on subsequent therapiesUp 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.

  • Site of the metastatic disease and time to progressionUp to 5 years

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

  • Incidence of treatment related toxicitiesUp 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.

  • Genetic variance of genes associated with ciclib metabolismUp 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.

  • Quantitative biomarker expressionsUp 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.

  • Development of patient-derived models from resistant diseaseUp 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.

  • Socio-economic features related to the use of ciclibsUp 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.

  • Clinical course of CDK4/6 inhibitor treated patients in the "real-world" settingUp to 5 years

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