About this study

Official title: Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Phase II Trial of IH636 Grape Seed Proanthocyanidin Extract (GSPE) in Patients With Adverse Effects of High Dose Breast Radiotherapy

RATIONALE: IH636 grape seed extract may lessen hardening of breast tissue caused by radiation therapy and may help patients live more comfortably.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of IH636 grape seed extract in treating hardening of breast tissue in women who have undergone radiation therapy for early breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the efficacy of IH636 grape seed proanthocyanidin extract for the treatment of radiation-induced fibrosis after high-dose radiotherapy in women with a history of early breast cancer.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients are stratified according to time since prior radiotherapy. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive oral IH636 grape seed proanthocyanidin extract three times daily for 6 months.
  • Arm II: Patients receive an oral placebo three times daily for 6 months. Patients are followed at 6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 72 patients (48 for arm I and 24 for arm II) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing IH636 grape seed proanthocyanidin extract in people with Breast Cancer and Radiation Fibrosis, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Nov 2013.
