About this study

Official title: Biobehavioral Mechanisms of Fatigue in Patients Treated on NSABP B-45: A Phase III Clinical Trial Comparing Adjuvant Sunitinib Malate to Placebo in Women With Residual Invasive Breast Cancer Following Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to fatigue.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at biological markers of fatigue in women with residual invasive breast cancer enrolled on clinical trial NSABP-B-45.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To collect serial blood specimens at each time point that quality of life and patient-reported outcome assessments are performed in women with residual invasive breast cancer concurrently enrolled on and participating in the Behavioral and Health Outcomes component of clinical trial NSABP-B-45.
  • To prepare, separate, and store the blood specimens at the NSABP Serum Bank at Baylor College of Medicine Breast Center into components for future DNA, RNA, and plasma analysis.
  • To analyze specific proinflammatory cytokines, genetic polymorphisms, and RNA expression arrays in collaborating laboratories at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
  • To examine the association between markers of inflammation and symptoms of fatigue among patients treated with sunitinib malate or placebo on clinical trial NSABP-B-45.
  • To examine the relationship between single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter regions of IL-1 and IL-6 and symptoms of fatigue in these patients.
  • To examine the relationship between RNA expression profiles and fatigue and compare the pattern of expression in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo blood sample collection* at baseline and then at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months for analysis of plasma concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers (IL-1ra, sTNFRII, sIL-6R, and C-reactive protein) by ELISA; DNA polymorphisms in the promoter regions of IL-6 and IL-1 by TaqMan PCR; and RNA gene expression signaling pathways by RT-PCR assays and microarray.

NOTE: *Blood samples are collected at the same time points that the Behavioral and Health Outcomes quality of life and patient-reported outcomes questionnaires are completed on clinical trial NSABP-B-45.

Being tested
gene expression analysis, microarray analysis, polymerase chain reaction, polymorphism analysis, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction
Keywords
fatigue, HER2-negative breast cancer, stage II breast cancer, stage IIIA breast cancer, stage IIIB breast cancer

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Biological and behavioral predictors of fatigue in breast cancer patients at 12 and 24 months after randomization and initiation of treatment on clinical trial NSABP-B-45

  2. Relationship between specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter regions of IL-1 and IL-6 and circulating markers of inflammation and symptoms of fatigue

  3. Relationship between RNA gene expression pathways and symptoms of fatigue

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Fatigue, run by NSABP Foundation Inc.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2013. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Biological and behavioral predictors of fatigue in breast cancer patients at 12 and 24 months after randomization and initiation of treatment on clinical trial NSABP-B-45. 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 11 Jan 2013.
