About this study

Official title: Ductal Lavage to Monitor and Treat High Risk Women

RATIONALE: Collecting samples of fluid using ductal lavage and nipple aspiration from participants at high risk for breast cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is using ductal lavage to collect fluid from women at high risk for breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the volume of atypical cells collected from ductal lavage in women at increased risk for breast cancer.

Secondary

  • Determine assay techniques to analyze nipple aspirate fluid and ductal lavage fluid samples from these participants.
  • Analyze the nipple aspirate fluid from these participants for specific and global protein signatures.
  • Determine the replicability of markers in serial assays of these participants.
  • Determine the percentage of participants with atypia on ductal lavage in which ductal lesions can be identified using ductoscopy.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Participants undergo nipple aspirate fluid and ductal lavage fluid collection. Fluid samples are analyzed using cytological analysis, immunohistochemistry, fluorescent in situ hybridization, or in situ polymerase chain reaction. Protein patterns are identified using mass spectrometry.

Participants found to have atypia undergo repeat lavage at 3-6 months and 1 year. Participants with normal fluid samples undergo repeat lavage at 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 participants will accrued for this study within 2-3 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Average number of atypical cells per ductal lavage sample

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Assay techniques development for nipple aspirate fluid and ductal lavage fluid analysis

  2. Specific and global protein signature analysis of nipple aspirate

  3. Replicability of markers in serial assays

  4. Percentage of participants with atypia on ductal lavage in which ductal lesions can be identified using ductoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site 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?

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 26 Sep 2012. 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 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?

Average number of atypical cells per ductal lavage sample. 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 26 Sep 2012.
