Trial summary

This study is being done in order to better understand the biology of an abnormal lesion found in breast tissue called "lobular carcinoma in situ" (LCIS). We are interested in studying LCIS. The LCIS is not a cancer itself, but is a marker for an increased risk of cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

This study is being done in order to better understand the biology of an abnormal lesion found in breast tissue called "lobular carcinoma in situ" (LCIS). We are interested in studying LCIS. The LCIS is not a cancer itself, but is a marker for an increased risk of cancer. We would like to look for LCIS in breast tissue removed during surgery from patients with cancer or at high risk for cancer. If LCIS is found, we will search for genes that are expressed (turned on or off) differently than in normal breast tissue. The identification of such genes would help us better understand the biology of LCIS, and its possible relationship to breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

LCIS) is a monoclonal pathologic entity which is subject to characterization at the molecular genetic level, and that these molecular genetic alterations may be used to predict the subsequent development of invasive breast cancer. Prophylactic mastectomy specimens from women with multifocal LCIS, and invasive breast cancer specimens which display coexisting LCIS, will be examined for X-chromosome inactivation patterns and loss of heterozygosity to assess for monoclonality. If clonality is present, we will assess for microsatellite instability, and a microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) technique will be used to identify genetic alterations present in LCIS. Lastly, LCIS biopsy specimens from untreated patients who, after follow-up did or did not develop invasive breast cancer, will be evaluated to determine whether the nature or extent of any identified genetic alterations can be correlated with the subsequent development of invasive breast cancer. We hypothesize that a fraction of LCIS lesions will reflect a monoclonal origin, that those lesions of monoclonal origin will display evidence of specific molecular genetic alterations, and that these specific alterations will correlate with the likelihood of the subsequent development of invasive breast carcinoma.

What is being measured

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

  1. To perform analyses using microarray-based gene expression profiling to determine whether a unique mRNA and microRNA gene expression profile distinguishes LCIS from normal breast epithelium and from invasive carcinoma.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To perform analyses using microarray-based mRNA and microRNA gene expression profiling to identify distinct molecular subtypes within LCIS.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Deter the nature or extent of molecular genetic alterations in LCIS as asses by mRNA & microRNA microarray canbe correl with the risk of subsequent invas breast cancer in pts with class type LCIS & those with newly described histologic variants of LCIS.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. To prospectively follow patients diagnosed with newly described histologic variants of lobular carcinoma in situ, who do or do not undergo surgery for treatment or prevention, to better characterize this lesion and its behavior.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. To further characterize the invasive lobular breast cancers that develop in association with LCIS as assessed by standard histopathology and immunohistochemistry.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Lobular Carcinoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 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 2 Jul 2021. 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?

To perform analyses using microarray-based gene expression profiling to determine whether a unique mRNA and microRNA gene expression profile distinguishes LCIS from normal breast epithelium and from invasive carcinoma. (time frame: 2 years). 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 2 Jul 2021.
