Trial Title:
Biomarkers in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer
NCT ID:
NCT05871788
Condition:
Identify the Number of Eligible Patients for Immunotherapy According to the Epidemiological and Biological Profile in Tunisia
Study type:
Observational [Patient Registry]
Overall status:
Not yet recruiting
Study design:
Time perspective:
Prospective
Intervention:
Intervention type:
Diagnostic Test
Intervention name:
identify biomarkers
Description:
Identify the epidemiological profile of the biological signature (PD-L1 / TMB / MSI/HRD/
TILs) of patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast carcinoma
Summary:
In order to allow Tunisian patients with breast cancer to access immunotherapies, and
innovative treatments to extend life expectancy of patients with breast cancer with a
poor prognosis, it is important to study the epidemiological profile of Tunisian cancers
breast, in terms of PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite
instability status (MSI) and rate of TILs, in metastatic and locally advanced cases, in
Tunis, over a one-year follow-up period.
It is also important to study other inflammatory and tumor biomarkers which would have a
prognostic or even therapeutic value:
- serum dosage of LDH (lactate dehydrogenase)
- IL-6 (interleukin 6)
- CRP (C-reactive protein)
- absolute count of lymphocytes (CLA) and eosinophils
- quantification of circulating tumor DNA before treatment and under treatment. The
primary objective id to identify the epidemiological profile of the biological
signature (PD-L1 / TMB / MSI/HRD/ TILs) of patients with locally advanced or
metastatic breast carcinoma before and during the systemic treatment.
Detailed description:

Sequencing" (NGS) via TruSight™ Oncology 500 Kit (Illumina) if PD-L1>1%
