Not a traditional drug phase: Usual care disease monitoring for Anatomic Stage IV Breast Cancer AJCC v8

This randomly assigned research trial studies how well serum tumor marker directed disease monitoring works in monitoring patients with hormone receptor positive Her2 negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Using markers to prompt when scans should be ordered may be as good as the usual approach to monitoring disease.

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03723928 · SWOG Cancer Research Network · enrollment listed as 739

What this phase means

This study does not use the classic phase 1–4 drug ladder. It may be a device, a behavior program, a surgery timing study, or an early feasibility test.

Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.

What the registry says happens

If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Usual care disease monitoring, Serum Tumor Marker directed disease monitoring, or Quality-of-Life Assessment. The registry lists allocation as randomized. This randomly assigned research trial studies how well serum tumor marker directed disease monitoring works in monitoring patients with hormone receptor positive Her2 negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body.

They plan to enroll about 739 people at 723 sites. Taking part typically means study visits and measurements plus check-ins.

Official title (unrewritten)

Randomized Non-Inferiority Trial Comparing Overall Survival of Patients Monitored With Serum Tumor Marker Directed Disease Monitoring (STMDDM) Versus Usual Care in Patients With Metastatic Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer

Interventions: Usual care disease monitoring, Serum Tumor Marker directed disease monitoring, Quality-of-Life Assessment, Anxiety Questionnaire Administration

Primary outcome (registry wording): Assessment of whether patients monitored with STMDDM have non-inferior overall survival compared with patients monitored with usual care

Phase 2: testing Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Background: The NCI Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy that involves taking white blood cells from patients' tumors, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then giving the cells back to the patient. These cells are called Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes, or TIL and we have given this type of treatment to over 200 patients with melanoma.
