Abstract PS2-02-05: Ibc clear: a decentralized multi-center mrd registry for inflammatory breast cancer

Abstract IBC Clear: A decentralized multi-center MRD Registry for Inflammatory Breast CancerInflammatory breast cancer is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with distinct clinical phenotypes, including early recurrence post-tri-modal care (neoadjuvant systemic therapy, surgery, adjuvant radiation). Preliminary data from MDACC have shown a high rate of baseline and serial MRD positivity in IBC patients (35-40% at 6-12 months post-surgery), suggesting that newly diagnosed IBC is an ideal population to test MRD as a standard of care and design adjuvant interventional trials. However, to date, our understanding of the optimal monitoring cadence and interventions following MRD positivity remains limited. IBC Clear is a decentralized protocol developed to collect real-world data from patients treated amongst our IBC Connect network of 19 US-based and three international institutions (7 of whom have expressed interest in participating). Patients who have had, or plan to have Signatera® ordered at the post-chemo/pre-surgery timepoint can self-enroll from the community by emailing [email protected] for information on the consent process. Study Design: Eligibility criteria include English-speaking patients > 18 years of age with a clinical diagnosis of IBC, with Signatera testing ordered or planned. The post-chemo/pre-surgery timepoint is the only study-mandated timepoint; however, any additional serial testing conducted before or after this timepoint will also be collected. Patients who have at least one Signatera test ordered and plan to have a pre-surgery/post-chemo collection as standard of care will be enrolled in a central REDCap database. Physicians enrolling patients may act on the results according to their clinical judgment, including imaging assessments and treatment changes. These interventions will be captured in the database. An electronic EORTC QLQ C30 survey will also be administered prior to and after receiving Signatera results to gather information about the impact of testing on the patient's quality of life. A total of 200 patients from all sites will be enrolled over a period of two years. Patients will be followed remotely for up to 2 years from the first Signatera test or until clinical recurrence, whichever comes first. Endpoints: Data collected will include the feasibility of decentralized data collection studies, as well as Signatera and recurrence information. The goals are to gather real-world data regarding the association of MRD positivity with pathologic response in IBC, patient-reported QOL for worry about recurrence, median lead time between the first MRD-positive result and clinical recurrence, and, if possible, whether the adjuvant therapies decrease the amount of MRD in IBC patients (pending optional longitudinal testing). Status of the study: The study was activated in June 2025. As of abstract submission, 2 patients have been enrolled at the lead site. Collaborating sites are being added.
