Abstract OT3-09-01: Use of Oncotype DX DCIS for disease management in a prospective DCIS registry

Abstract

Abstract Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) now represents nearly a quarter of newly diagnosed breast cancers in the United States. Standard-of-care treatment for DCIS is aggressive local therapy consisting of either mastectomy or breast conserving surgery with radiation. However, DCIS mortality is low regardless of initial treatment, suggesting opportunities to explore a spectrum of treatment options. With these treatment options, there is the potential to create risk-adapted treatment plans, but the question of how to assess risk remains. Molecular tests can help to personalize treatment by stratifying disease sub-types and providing prognosis. One such tool is the Oncotype DX® Breast DCIS Score, a risk measure which was validated in a meta-analysis of 773 patients from the E5194 and Ontario DCIS Cohort studies. Along with calculating a Breast DCIS Score™ from the expression levels of 12 genes, the test provides a predicted 10-year risk of local recurrence from the score result, age, and tumor size for patients who receive breast conserving surgery alone. Understanding how such a tool might impact decision-making will inform its implementation. Eligibility & trial design: The ATHENA Breast Health Network is a consortium of the five University of California Medical centers. Through ATHENA, patients with histologically confirmed DCIS and no concurrent invasive cancer are approached to participate in the Athena DCIS Registry. Patients in the registry facing an active management decision are eligible to participate in the Oncotype DX® DCIS prospective study. Specific aims: The primary aim of the study is to determine whether the additional diagnostic information (i.e. the DCIS Score™) impacts patient treatment decisions and physician recommendation. Additional goals are to correlate the DCIS Score™ with mammographic findings, pathological variables, and treatment recommendations, and to estimate risk within each DCIS Score™ group. Participants and their physicians answer survey questions both before and after receiving the score to evaluate the impact of the DCIS Score™ on treatment recommendations and decisions. Statistical methods: The study will assess the percentage of patients who thought the DCIS risk score influenced their treatment decision. The study will also assess whether a significant proportion of physicians changed their recommendations after considering the DCIS Score™ using the chi-square test. Similarly, the patients’ preferred treatment option pre- and post- test surveys will be evaluated. In addition, the concordance between physicians’ and patients’ choices will be assessed by the Kappa statistic before and after the score. The patients’ and physicians’ confidence levels in their treatment recommendation and decision pre- and post- test will be compared using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test, as well as the percentage of patients and physicians who are glad they used the test. In addition, the study will assess whether the DCIS test influences a patient’s perception of their recurrence risk by comparing the self-reported 10-year breast cancer recurrence risk in their pre- and post- test questionnaires using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Current and target accrual: The current accrual across all sites in the Oncotype study is 94 patients. The target accrual for the initial pilot phase data is defined as the first 100 patients accrued.
