BREAKOUT -International Breast Cancer Biomarker, Standard of Care and Real World Outcomes Study BREAKOUT is a prospective cross-sectional cohort study of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative metastatic breast cancer patients who have started 1st line systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy. The study will estimate the prevalence of germline breast cancer susceptibility gene in an otherwise unselected population, describe the treatments administered and estimate the associated clinical outcomes of overall survival and progression-free survival amongst mutation carriers within the context of a low poly ADP ribose polymerase inhibitor treatment setting. Other exploratory analyses may be undertaken to describe somatic breast cancer susceptibility gene and other homologous recombination repair gene mutations.
Background/Rationale: Within the setting of metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-ve) breast cancer limited epidemiological data exist on the prevalence of pathogenic mutations of breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) and other homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes. There are also limited data on the treatments and clinical outcomes of patients with such germline and somatic genetic profiles, particularly within this setting. This epidemiologic study will estimate the prevalence of germline breast susceptibility gene (gBRCA) mutations among metastatic HER2-ve patients who have commenced 1st line systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy and, at that time, are considered to have exhausted hormone therapy options (if hormone receptor positive \[HR+ve\]), per investigator's opinion. Among those patients with a gBRCA gene mutation, treatment patterns and clinical outcomes will be described. This study may also explore the prevalence of somatic BRCA (sBRCA) mutations and other HRR gene mutations among metastatic HER2-ve patients who have commenced 1st line systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy. The treatment patterns and clinical outcomes may be described among those patients with a sBRCA gene mutation and those with other HRR gene mutations.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
873
If unavailable from the patient medical records, gBRCA gene mutation status will be tested as aligned to local clinical practice using a blood sample obtained preferably during routine clinical practice. (Note: Blood samples may be shipped to a central laboratory for testing and storage, based on local regulations for shipment of blood samples.)
Archival tumour specimen will be requested from all patients in the informed consent, but is not required for study enrolment (optional consent). Where sufficient archival tumour specimen is available and patients have consented to tumour specimen testing, FoundationOne Dx genomic profiling may take place as follows: * Tumour Specimen: Acceptable samples include formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (preferred) or FFPE specimens, including core needle biopsies, fine-needle aspirates and effusion cytologies. * Tumour Testing (optional): archival tumour specimens, where available, will be tested for mutations in HRR genes including BRCA1 and BRCA2 and other genomic alterations using the FoundationOne Dx genomic profile.
Patients who test positive for a gBRCA gene mutation, and/or sBRCA or other HRR gene mutations (optional testing), will be followed prospectively for assessment of treatment patterns and associated clinical outcomes up to 30-months. \- Patients who test negative for gBRCA gene mutations, sBRCA and other HRR gene mutations, no further data will be collected post baseline. Patients presenting other genomic alterations that are identified by the FoundationOne Dx genomic profile will not continue beyond baseline as part of this study.

BRCA Mutational status (BRCA1 mutated and/or BRCA2 mutated or BRCA wild type).
The prevalence of gBRCA gene mutations will be evaluated by calculating the proportion of patients that test positive for a gBRCA gene mutation (BRCA1 mutated and/or BRCA2 mutated).
Time frame: At one time point at inclusion in the study up to 12 months after the beginning of the study.
Descriptive statistics for treatments administered by line of therapy from 1st line metastatic breast cancer.
Treatment patterns will be described by line of therapy. Treatment combinations, number of cycles per line, schedules, durations, and reason for discontinuation will be summarized descriptively.
Time frame: 2.5 years (30 months) since the beginning of the study.
Progression free survival by line of therapy
Progression free survival (in months) for each line of treatment, defined as the time from the date of start of each line of treatment to the documented date of progression as determined by the investigator (radiologic or symptomatic), or death from any cause in the absence of progression.
Time frame: 2.5 years (30 months) since the beginning of the study.
Overall survival by line of therapy
Overall survival (OS) defined as the time from the start date of first line chemotherapy in the metastatic setting until the date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 30 months. In addition, OS since diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer and OS since the start of each subsequent therapy will be estimated.
Time frame: 2.5 years (30 months) since the beginning of the study.
