Study on Biomarker Optimization of Pre-Surgery Therapy in Breast Cancer
Sponsor: University of Illinois at Chicago
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06441890
This clinical trial is exploring how a specific test, called MammaPrint®/BluePrint®, can help tailor pre-surgery treatment for men and women with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. The test is performed on a biopsy sample to determine the best treatment approach.

Program Overview
The study focuses on men and women with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. A special test, MammaPrint®/BluePrint®, will be done on a biopsy sample to identify the cancer's subtype. If the cancer is HER2-enriched, patients may be recommended for pre-surgery chemotherapy and can join the study.
Description
This study involves adult men and women with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. A test called MammaPrint®/BluePrint® will be performed on a biopsy sample to determine the cancer's subtype. If the cancer is identified as HER2-enriched, and the oncologist recommends pre-surgery chemotherapy, patients can participate in the study. The goal is to optimize treatment before surgery based on the cancer's specific characteristics.
