Brief Title: Serial Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) Monitoring During Adjuvant Capecitabine in Early Triple-negative Breast Cancer
Official Title: Phase II Trial of Circulating Tumor DNA Monitoring During Adjuvant Capecitabine in Patients With Triple-negative Breast Cancer and Residual Disease Following Standard Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Study ID: NCT04768426
Brief Summary: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the use of a circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assay, ie, a "liquid biopsy," as a tool to identify triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients who will or will not experience benefit from treatment with capecitabine. Participants will be monitored for changes in ctDNA in the blood over time received during capecitabine treatment. Results of ctDNA analysis will be correlated to genetic characteristics of individual tumors. This may inform future clinical trials in which patients could receive a different treatment than capecitabine to reduce their risk of breast cancer relapse.
Detailed Description: The Primary Objective is to characterize the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) profile of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in participants with residual disease after standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) receiving standard-of-care adjuvant capecitabine. The Secondary Objectives are to correlate ctDNA levels with genomic features and survival.
