A Master Protocol Empowering Mechanobiology Translation Research in Breast Cancer
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Observational: Retrospective cohorts and Prospective observation of standard clinical practice
Study summary
METAMECH is a master observational protocol designed to empower a bi-directional collaboration between basic and clinical research, an essential prerequisite to feed and implement precision oncology.
METAMECH will follow a stage-mixed cohort of at least 500 patients through their course of treatments, until death or a minimum of 5 years. Patients will be longitudinally sampled and matched clinical data (including imaging) will be collected. Via a multi-tiered informed consensus process, METAMECH will also allow to develop companion diagnostics for molecular enrichment strategies in AIRC-driven proof-of-concept trials.
