Project description:<p>For the Clinical Trials Sequencing Project (CTSP), National Cancer Institute (NCI) will utilize whole genome sequencing and/or whole exome sequencing in conjunction with transcriptome sequencing to try to identify recurrent genetic alterations (mutations, deletions, amplifications, rearrangements) and/or gene expression signatures that would be important to the hypothesis(es) submitted by the investigators. The samples will be processed and submitted for genomic characterization using pipelines and procedures established within The Cancer Genome Analysis (TCGA) project. </p> <p>Data analysis will be performed as a collaboration between the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) Group and its investigators submitting the proposal. The investigators at the NCI-sponsored Genomic Data Analysis Center (GDAC) will characterize the samples. The NCTN Group will be responsible for providing the clinical data needed for the proposal to the open clinical system maintained by NCI CCG's Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR) at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. The project team (Network Group/investigators and GDAC) will analyze the data together. Additionally, clinical and genomic data related to the analyses will also need to be registered by NCI and will be made available to qualified researchers via a controlled-access database (e.g., dbGaP) upon publication of the primary analysis described in the study proposal. </p> <p>A substudy description and its molecular data information are provided under its own page: <a href="study.cgi?study_id=phs001184">phs001184</a> CTSP Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) CALGB 50303 </p>

Patients received six rounds of chemotherapy with epirubicin and docetaxel, and if PR or PD after the second course, bevacizumab.
Project description:EORTC 10994 is a phase III clinical trial comparing FEC with ET in patients with large operable, locally advanced or inflammatory breast cancer (www.eortc.be). Frozen biopsies were taken at randomisation. RNA was extracted from 100um thickness of 14G core needle biopsies. Adjacent sections were tested by H&E to confirm >20% tumour cell content. 100 ng total RNA per chip were amplified using the Affymetrix small sample protocol (IVT then Enzo). 49 tumours were tested on Affymetrix U133A chips. The CEL files were quantile normalised together using rma. Clinical response data are not available yet. Keywords = Apocrine carcinoma Keywords = breast cancer
