Whole Exome Sequencing in Finding Causative Variants in Germline DNA Samples From Patients With Hypertension Receiving Bevacizumab for Breast Cancer

Exploratory Next Generation Sequencing to Identify Causative Variants for Bevacizumab-Induced Hypertension From Breast Cancer Study E5103 Germline DNA Samples


Sponsor

National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Enrollment

354 participants

Start Date

Mar 25, 2014

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

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


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This genetic research study is using whole exome sequencing — a test that reads nearly all the protein-coding parts of a person's DNA — to try to identify inherited genetic variants that may explain why some breast cancer patients develop severe high blood pressure as a side effect when treated with the drug bevacizumab. **You may be eligible if...** - You are of European American ancestry and have DNA samples available - You are designated as either a case (you developed Grade 3 or 4 high blood pressure as a side effect of bevacizumab treatment) or a control (you completed a full course of bevacizumab without developing high blood pressure) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You do not meet the above criteria Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
