About this study

Official title: Menopausal Symptoms in Women With Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Gathering information about the frequency and intensity of hot flashes in patients with breast cancer and in patients who have a high risk of developing breast cancer may help doctors learn more about menopausal symptoms.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is looking at menopausal symptoms in women with breast cancer or at high risk of breast cancer who received treatment on another clinical trial.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Retrieve data from an archived database of a closed clinical trial that involved treatment with sertraline hydrochloride or a placebo for the management of hot flashes or other menopausal symptoms in women with breast cancer or at high risk of breast cancer.
  • Analyze the results of this closed clinical trial so that they can be published.

OUTLINE: Data from an archived database of a closed clinical trial is retrieved. Descriptive analyses of outcome variables (e.g., menopausal symptoms, including number and intensity of hot flashes, and psychosocial and quality of life scales) are conducted to gain insight into their distributional aspects. Data is analyzed using ANOVA with repeated measures to account for the changes within a patient over time as a function of treatment assignment. Summary scores from the psychosocial scales that are reasonably complete (i.e., FACT-B and POMS) are examined using mixed linear models to account for patient-specific differences, treatment effects, and variable patterns of completeness.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Hot Flashes, run by Case Comprehensive 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?

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 29 Sep 2015. 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?

Retrieval and analysis of data regarding the frequency and intensity of hot flashes (time frame: Up to one year). 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 29 Sep 2015.
