About this study

Official title: Developing In-Vivo Models of Human Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Changing the genes in laboratory mice to create a living model of human breast cancer may help doctors learn more about breast cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is developing mouse models of breast cancer using tissue samples that were previously collected from women with breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To develop new in vivo models of human breast cancer.
  • To correlate response in this model to actual treatment outcome in patients, if the in vivo model is proven feasible.

OUTLINE: Previously collected breast tumor fragments are implanted into the renal capsule site of SCID mouse hosts (mouse with severe combined immune deficiency) to establish metastatic spread patterns, and both histologic and molecular tumor characteristics.

Patients' medical charts are reviewed to obtain relevant information, including general demographics, smoking and alcohol use, as well as outcome data such as survival and response to treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • laboratory biomarker analysisOther

    Tissue samples will either be collected at the time of medically indicated surgical procedures or through research core biopsies. A sample of urine will also be obtained. Blood will be collected via venipuncture and lymphocytes (mononuclear cells) separated and processed as a source of normal DNA and normal cells.

  • medical chart reviewOther

    patient chart review will occur in conjunction with patient data collection for final analyses.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram 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 4 May 2018. 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?

Development of new in vivo models of human breast cancer (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 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 4 May 2018.
