Whole Exome Sequencing in Finding Causative Variants in Germline DNA Samples From Patients With Congestive Heart Failure Receiving Therapy for Breast Cancer

Exploratory Next Generation Sequencing to Identify Causative Variants for Therapy-Induced Congestive Heart Failure From Breast Cancer Study E5103 Germline DNA Samples


Sponsor

National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Enrollment

162 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 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.


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This genetic research study uses whole exome sequencing — reading nearly all the protein-coding parts of a person's DNA — to look for inherited genetic differences that may explain why some breast cancer patients develop heart failure (weakened heart muscle) after treatment with anthracycline chemotherapy and the drug bevacizumab. **You may be eligible if...** - You are of European American or African American ancestry and have DNA samples available - You are designated as a case (you developed heart failure — specifically a significant drop in your heart's pumping function after treatment) or a control (you completed a full course of anthracycline and bevacizumab treatment without developing heart failure) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You do not meet the above ancestry, DNA availability, and case/control designation 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.
