About this study

Official title: Molecular Markers in Native American Women With Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue in the laboratory from Native American women with breast cancer may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to breast cancer in these patients. It may also help doctors learn more about the prognosis of these patients.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at biomarkers in Native American women with breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate a selected panel of molecular markers in tissue specimens from Native American women with breast cancer.
  • Determine which molecular markers provide independent prognostic information with respect to traditional prognostic factors in these patients.
  • Compare and contrast the prevalence of positivity in Native American women with breast cancer with an age- and stage-matched cohort of Caucasian women with breast cancer enrolled on clinical trial NCCTG-77-30-51 or the Mayo Breast Cancer Registry.

OUTLINE: Immunohistochemistry is performed on tumor samples to analyze the following molecular markers: estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, c-erbB2, p53, Ki-67, Bcl-2, Bax, cyclin D-1, and insulin-like growth factor-1R.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology.

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 13 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Evaluation of a selected panel of molecular markers in tissue specimens from Native American women with breast cancer (time frame: Up to 5 years). The study lists 3 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 13 Jul 2016.
