Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates if blood tests can detect changes in disease status during treatment for stage IV breast cancer. Information from this study may help researchers learn more about metastatic breast cancer and how to optimize treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To identify subtype-specific signatures for breast cancer using genomic positioning of plasma deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragments.

II. To validate changes in circulating tumor-derived DNA (ctDNA) levels as a biomarker for treatment monitoring in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo collection of blood samples at baseline, 2 weeks after the start of treatment, and at the beginning of each new treatment cycle.
