About this study

Official title: ICICLE- A Study to Investigate the genetiCs of In Situ Carcinoma of the ductaL subtypE

RATIONALE: Studying genes in samples of blood and/or tumor tissue from patients with cancer may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at blood and/or tumor tissue samples from patients with ductal carcinoma in situ and blood samples from healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To collect blood and/or tumor tissue of patients with ductal breast carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and their age- and ethnicity-matched controls to identify the inherited variation that predisposes women to develop DCIS.
  • To determine the frequency of these variants.
  • To determine the effect of these variants on tumor risk.
  • To determine the benefit of testing for these variants in the clinical setting so that those at higher risk could be identified, counseled, and screened.

Secondary

  • To analyze the acquired genetic changes within DCIS to identify which cases are more likely to develop invasive disease.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

All participants complete a questionnaire to collect their family history, a brief medical history, and epidemiological data.

Patients undergo collection of blood and/or tumor tissue samples; DNA is extracted for genotyping, comparison of allele and genotype frequencies (polymorphisms), genetic profiling, DNA analysis, and protein analysis. Histopathology reports are also collected. Healthy volunteers undergo collection of blood samples.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 3,000 patients and 3,000 controls will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Queen Mary University of London at 18 sites in United Kingdom.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

Collection of blood and/or tumor tissue. 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 12 Aug 2013.
