Trial Information

A Genome-Wide Association Study in Patients Experiencing Musculoskeletal Adverse Events on NCIC CTG Trial MA.27 Evaluating Aromatase Inhibitors as Adjuvant Therapy in Early Breast Cancer. A Collaboration Between the NIH Pharmacogenetics Research Network and the RIKEN Yokohama Institute Center for Genomic Medicine.


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To identify genetic variation, as measured by single nucleotide polymorphisms, that is
associated with musculoskeletal adverse events in specimens from postmenopausal women
with hormone receptor-positive primary breast cancer receiving adjuvant aromatase
inhibitors and enrolled on clinical trial CAN-NCIC-MA27.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

DNA from tumor tissue and blood specimens that have been previously collected from patients
are analyzed for single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed invasive breast cancer

- Complete resection of primary tumor

- Stage I-III (T1-3, N0-3, M0) disease

- Enrolled in clinical trial CAN-NCIC-MA27.

- No locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer

- Hormone receptor status:

- Estrogen receptor- or progesterone receptor-positive disease

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

- Postmenopausal status, defined as one of the following:

- At least 60 years old

- Age 45-59 years with spontaneous cessation of menses for > 12 months prior to
chemotherapy or study randomization

- Age 45-59 years with cessation of menses for < 12 months or secondary to
hysterectomy AND a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the
postmenopausal range (or > 34.4 IU/L)

- Age 45-59 years on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and discontinued HRT at
diagnosis of breast cancer AND FSH level in the postmenopausal range (or > 34.4
IU/L)
