Breast Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a tumor and serum collection study for patients with advanced breast cancer receiving treatment with lonafarnib.
Detailed description
OUTLINE: This is a multi-center study. Sample Collection: * Tumor sample * Serum sample Treatment Regimen: * All registered patients must be planning treatment with lonafarnib
Interventions
Tumor sample submission can consist of a fresh frozen tissue sample or a formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue block.
Serum is to be collected prior to the initiation of lonafarnib treatment and 28 days after the last dose of lonafarnib.
