Can your genes predict breast cancer treatment success?
NCT ID NCT04638725
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find genetic markers that may explain why some HER2-positive breast cancer patients respond well to treatment while others do not, or experience side effects. Researchers will collect blood samples from 9,000 participants and follow them for five years. The goal is to better understand treatment resistance and sensitivity, not to test a new therapy.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
For inclusion in the study, patients must be affiliated to the national or local social security, and must meet all the following criteria: Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years * Histological diagnosis of breast adenocarcinoma. Non-metastatic and operable. * Current or prior treatment with one therapy targeting HER2 in adjuvant or neoadjuvant phase for the current breast cancer * Given written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients not able to comply to the protocol assessments for geographic, social or psychological reasons * Patients placed under judicial protection, guardianship, or supervision * History of cancer in the 5 years preceding anti-HER2 therapy initiation * Concomitant cancer (except for an other non metastatic cancer treated only with surgery) Note : Patients are eligible at any time of the follow-up if the adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy started after 01/01/2019. Patients treated with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, neratinib or T-DM1 in a clinical trial are eligible in the SIGHER study.
