TEODOR is a Phase II, multicenter, randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to explore whether chemotherapy can be safely replaced with endocrine therapy before surgery in a select group of women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative breast cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study uses Signatera, Natera\u2019s personalized molecular residual disease (MRD) test, to identify patients who are endocrine-responsive and ctDNA-negative, potential candidates for de-escalation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. By focusing treatment on individual tumor biology, the TEODOR trial aims to minimize unnecessary toxicity while maintaining clinical outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cTEODOR is designed to examine whether we can use endocrine responsiveness and ctDNA status to optimize systemic therapy in the neoadjuvant setting,\u201d said ABCSG President, Michael Gnant, M.D., FACS, FEBS, who serves as professor of surgery, Comprehensive Cancer Center, Medical University of Vienna, and principal investigator of the TEODOR trial. \u201cThis study marks a critical step toward more personalized medicine, leveraging the latest technologies to improve patient care.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWith the TEODOR trial, our goal is to identify patients who may be able to safely forgo chemotherapy,\u201d said Angel Rodriguez, M.D., medical director of oncology at Natera. \u201cWe are proud to collaborate with ABCSG on this important trial, and we hope this study will support the role of Signatera in guiding neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TEODOR trial, sponsored by the Austrian Breast &amp; Colorectal Cancer Study Group (ABCSG), aims to enroll approximately 250 patients across 15 sites in Austria. Prior research has shown that patients who test negative for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) using Signatera at diagnosis, and subsequently receive chemotherapy, have an excellent prognosis, with a recurrence risk of less than 5%. To reduce the use of pre-operative chemotherapy and its associated side effects, the TEODOR trial is designed to evaluate whether endocrine therapy alone may be equally effective for Signatera-negative patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative breast cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following an initial four-week course of endocrine therapy, patients who remain Signatera-negative and demonstrate favorable endocrine sensitivity, measured by the Ki-67 proliferation index, will be randomized to receive either continued endocrine therapy or standard chemotherapy before surgery. The primary endpoint of the study is the response to neoadjuvant therapy, assessed by pathological complete response (pCR) and the modified Preoperative Endocrine Prognostic Index (PEPI) score. Secondary endpoints include long-term outcomes such as breast cancer recurrence and overall survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to DelveInsight\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/molecular-diagnostics-market\"><strong>Molecular Diagnostics Market Report<\/strong><\/a>\u201d, the global molecular diagnostics market was valued at <strong>USD 9.56 billion<\/strong> in 2024, growing at a <strong>CAGR of 9.21%<\/strong> during the forecast period from 2025 to 2032, to reach<strong> USD 16.12 billion<\/strong> by 2032.
