Scientists hunt for immune clues to predict breast cancer treatment response

NCT ID NCT07407244

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is collecting tumor and blood samples from 268 women with early breast cancer before they receive standard chemotherapy. Researchers want to see if certain immune-related factors in the tumor and circulating tumor DNA can predict whether the cancer will completely disappear after treatment. The goal is to better understand who benefits most from chemotherapy, but no new drug is being tested.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors identify which breast cancer patients are most likely to benefit from chemotherapy before surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate changes in care, and results may not apply to all patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 268 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Mar 2017

Expected to finish

Feb 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Female participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female patients with early breast cancer * Planned neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) * Availability of tumor tissue sample (biopsy) before treatment * Ability to provide blood sample(s) * Signed informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Male breast cancer * Patients without neoadjuvant chemotherapy * Inability or refusal to provide informed consent * Insufficient biological material for analysis
