Predictive gene expression profile for adjuvant taxane benefit in breast cancer in the MATADOR trial.

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of the prospective, randomized, multicenter, phase 3 biomarker Microarray Analysis in breast cancer to Taylor Adjuvant Drugs Or Regimens trial (MATADOR: ISRCTN61893718) is to generate a gene expression profile that can predict benefit from either docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (TAC) or dose-dense scheduled doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (ddAC). Patients with a pT1-3, pN0-3 tumor were randomized 1:1 between ddAC and TAC. The primary endpoint was a gene profile-treatment interaction for recurrence-free survival (RFS). We observed 117 RFS events in 664 patients with a median follow-up of 7 years. Hallmark gene set analyses showed significant association between enrichment in immune-related gene expression and favorable outcome after TAC in hormone recepto
