Trial summary

The goal of this study is to determine how often patients who have atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) on core needle biopsy of an imaging (found by mammogram or breast ultrasound) abnormality will have associated breast cancer at surgical removal of the area.

About this study

Official title: The Incidence of Adjacent Synchronous Ipsilateral Infiltrating Carcinoma, DCIS, or Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH) in Patients Diagnosed With Lobular Neoplasia of the Breast by Core Needle Biopsy

The goal of this study is to determine how often patients who have atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) on core needle biopsy of an imaging (found by mammogram or breast ultrasound) abnormality will have associated breast cancer at surgical removal of the area.

Read the detailed description

Patients will undergo a breast biopsy at which the area found to be ALH or LCIS on core biopsy will be removed surgically through a small incision in the breast.

  • The surgical biopsy specimen will be carefully examined by a pathologist, and may be useful in guiding further therapy if needed.
  • In the future, tissue from the surgical biopsy may be used to study genetic changes that may be responsible for cancer formation and prevention. The tissue will be kept for future research for up to 10 years.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of upstaging from Lobular Neoplasia on core biopsy to invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ on excisional biopsy

    Measured: Concomittant

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Factors which predict for upstaging from Lobular Neoplasia on core biopsy to invasive breast carcinoma or ductal carcinoma in situ

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Neoplasms, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 2 sites in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of upstaging from Lobular Neoplasia on core biopsy to invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ on excisional biopsy (time frame: Concomittant). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 31 Mar 2017.
