About this study

Official title: Intraductal Therapy of DCIS: A Presurgery Study

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects of doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome and to see how well it works in treating women with ductal carcinoma in situ undergoing surgery.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To demonstrate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant intraductal pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride in women with ductal breast carcinoma in situ undergoing surgery.
  • To demonstrate the ability to identify and cannulate the duct demonstrating precancerous disease in these women.
  • To integrate the Humboldt Community Breast Health Project into the planning and execution of this study.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo identification of the intraductal lesions via cannulization. Patients receive pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride (PLD) intraductally through the inserted cannula. Some patients are randomized to receive saline instead of PLD. Within 4-6 weeks, all patients undergo surgery.

Patients undergo tissue and ductal fluid sample collection at baseline and at surgery for correlative laboratory studies. Tissue samples are assessed for histomorphology, proliferation (Ki67), cell death (apoptosis index), genetic markers, necrosis, inflammation, and loss of heterozygosity by HE stain, IHC, TUNEL, and PCR. Nipple aspirate and ductal lavage fluid samples are analyzed for cytomorphology (cellular atypia), proliferation (Ki67), cell death (TUNEL), differentiation (G-actin), and genetic markers (FISH) by quantitative fluorescence image analysis. Samples are also analyzed for bFGF and CEA by ELISA, and methylation by PCR.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 6 months for at least 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, DNA methylation analysis and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling assay in people with Breast Cancer, run by Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation 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?

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2014. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Jan 2014.
