Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Potential research subjects will be identified by a member of the patient's treatment team, the protocol investigator, or research team at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). If the investigator is a member of the treatment team, s/he will screen their patient's medical records for suitable research study participants and discuss the study and their potential for enrolling in the research study. Other potential subjects will be informed of the study by her treating professional at the time she is told of the need for a biopsy. Lists of patients scheduled for biopsy will be reviewed by study personnel on a weekly basis.

Who may be able to join

  • Female
  • Age ≥ or = to 18
  • Cohort A: Biopsy Cohort:
  • Referred by a healthcare provider for breast biopsy
  • No prior history of invasive breast cancer OR of ductal carcinoma in situ
  • No prior history of other malignancies within 5 years except cervical dysplasia, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or basal cell carcinoma of the skin Cohort B: Metastatic Disease Cohort - Diagnosis of stage IV breast cancer

Who cannot join

  • Male
  • Age < 18

About this study

This study is being done to learn about blood proteins. We want to see if the blood proteins in women whose biopsies show breast cancer are different from the blood proteins in women whose biopsies do not show breast cancer. The goal of this study is to develop a blood test than can help detect breast cancers when they are very small and easy to cure.

Read the detailed description

Despite currently available screening techniques, only 63% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage, for which the 5-year survival rate exceeds 95% (1). Advances in breast imaging are occurring, but further efforts to detect breast cancer at an early stage would be beneficial. Recently, new technologies which use mass spectrometric analysis to characterize the overall pattern of peptide expression in the serum or plasma have been developed. Preliminary studies have suggested that peptide profiles can be used to differentiate cancer patients from those without cancer for a variety of malignancies including breast cancer. If mass spectrometric analysis is able to detect differences in peptide profiles between early stage breast cancers and normal controls, this technique could be developed as a screening modality.

The objective of the present study which is entitled "Peptide Profiles of Women Undergoing Breast Biopsy" is to determine whether the diagnosis of malignancy on breast biopsy is associated with a specific serum or plasma peptide profile which can be distinguished from the peptide profile associated with benign diagnoses on breast biopsy. To accomplish this, blood samples will be collected from 500 women undergoing breast biopsy and 100 women with metastatic disease. Samples will be obtained prior to the biopsies and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Residual material will be shared with investigators of the National Cancer Institute Clinical Proteomics Technology Assessment Consortium.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1The first 250 samples will be used as a training set and results of these breast biopsies (benign or malignant) will be used to determine the peptide profile characteristic of a diagnosis of breast cancer on biopsy.
Receives: Other: Blood draw
2The predictive capacity of this profile will then be prospectively assessed using the next 250 samples, which will serve as a validation set. Subjects who are candidates for enrollment on cohort B of this study (metastatic disease)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, 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 6 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 19 Dec 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 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 identify the peptide profile associated with a diagnosis of malignancy on breast biopsy. (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 19 Dec 2013.
