Abstract

The identification and validation of predictive biomarkers has often been hampered by issues in retrospective clinical study design, for example missing control groups and small or biased patient series. Despite a wealth of preclinical mechanistic insights and finished randomized controlled trials (RCT), translation to the clinic is infrequent. XIST and 53BP1 are two genes that were previously identified in preclinical studies to predict resistance to therapy targeting BRCA1 deficiency. We studied the expression of these two genes in the context of an RCT randomizing between conventional (5 cycles fluorouracil, epirubicin, cyclophosphamide (FEC)) and BRCA1 defect targeting chemotherapy (4 cycles FEC + 1 cycle of high dose carboplatin, thiotepa, cyclophosphamide).
