Overview

This research trial studies whole exome sequencing in finding causative variants in germline deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples from patients with congestive heart failure receiving therapy for breast cancer. Studying samples of germline DNA in the laboratory from patients with congestive heart failure receiving therapy for breast cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to congestive heart failure.

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To identify, using next generation sequencing, rare variants of large effect size that impact the risk of congestive heart failure (CHF) in patients from the clinical trial ECOG-5103 (E5103).

OUTLINE

Previously collected germline DNA samples are analyzed via whole exome sequencing.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • European American patients with DNA available
  • European American patients who developed CHF and patients who did not develop CHF following a full course of treatment with an anthracycline and bevacizumab
  • African American cases (based on a drop in left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] < 50 or a drop from baseline > 20 points) and African American controls

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
