About this study

Official title: Breast Cancer Biomarkers Based on Fine Needle Aspirates

RATIONALE: Examining biomarkers in fine-needle aspiration specimens from women at risk for breast cancer may improve the ability to detect breast cancer cells early and plan effective treatment.

PURPOSE: Screening trial to compare specific biomarkers based on fine-needle aspiration specimens from women at increased or normal risk of breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare specific biomarkers, including cellular morphology (cytology), proliferation index (Ki-67), p53 expression, and LOH in chromosome 9p at locus DS9157, in fine needle aspirate specimens from women at increased vs normal risk of breast cancer.
  • Determine whether these specimens are adequate to perform the biomarker assays and whether this technique could be used in the general outpatient setting.
  • Determine whether biomarker levels in these patients are concordant or discordant with individual clinical risk of breast cancer.
  • Determine whether 1 or more biomarkers can distinguish high-risk from control patients.
  • Correlate specific biomarkers and changes in biomarker levels with pathologic diagnosis from the breast biopsy.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo fine needle aspiration of normal appearing breast tissue prior to the beginning of elective surgery. Specimens are analyzed for the presence of specific biomarkers.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 156 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cytology specimen collection procedure, comparison of screening methods and study of high risk factors in people with Breast Cancer, run by Fox Chase Cancer Center.

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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 11 Jul 2013.
