Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 to 90 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Breast cancer patients over age 40 before treatment. Healthy women recruited in Check Up institute from asymptomatic women over age 40, referred to screening mammography and received the negative result of mammography.

Who may be able to join

  • Inclusion Criteria for Breast Cancer Patients for Experimental Group:
  • Patient is over the age of 40.
  • Patient is willing to participate as evidenced by signing the written informed consent form.
  • Patient referred to the Department of Oncology/ Surgery for operative treatment of breast cancer with previously detected disease. Positive conventional tests finding can include (but not limited to) the record of screening or diagnostic mammography, blood oncomarkers, breast ultrasound, breast CT, biopsy.
  • Non-treated patients (w/o previous chemotherapy, hormonal drugs and radiotherapy).
  • Patient without other cancer locations

  • Inclusion Criteria for Presumably Healthy Subjects for Control Group:
  • Subjects over the age of 40.
  • Subjects who are willing to participate as evidenced by signing the written informed consent form.
  • Subjects who are presumably healthy and without breast pathologies' symptoms and family history of breast cancer, i.e., breast disease (except history of functional breast problems, e.g., mastitis within lactation period) has been ruled out based on physician anamnesis
  • Subjects with negative results of screening mammography.
  • Subjects without taking of any hormonal medicines

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with any known cancer in other internal organs or systems.
  • Subjects with high fever presentation (more than 38.5).
  • Subjects with known breast disease undergoing treatment for the disease.
  • Pregnant or lactating women

About this study

Official title: Evaluation the Diagnostic Ability of the CDT to Detect Breast Cancer Among Women Population Over Age 40

This study aimed to validate the diagnostic ability of the CDT (cancer detection technology) software to detect breast cancer among women population.

Read the detailed description

Breast cancer diagnosis is a rapidly expanding research field, whose early-stage detection may reduce the burden of the disease and permit more effective treatment. It is well documented that tumor growth requires specific conditions for its development from the occurrence of a mutation to a clinically detectable cancer. It has been shown that living peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) have different ability of cytosolic enzymes (esterases) to convert hydrophobic substrate fluorescein diacetate (FDA) into hydrophilic fluorescent fluorescein. It depends on PBMC cycle stage, size, surface state, physiological states, such as activation and apoptosis.

The important step of breast cancer genesis is the early change of functional activity of cytosolic enzymes (esterases) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Such transformations in PBMC may be detected accurately by an existing device Flowcytometer (FACS™ MultiSET™ System, company "Becton Dickinson" GmbH, USA), where measurements of fluorescence polarization and enzymatic hydrolysis of FDA substrate are recorded. A conclusion about presentation of breast cancer among examined women is achieved by "CDT" (cancer detection technology) software, which analyzes mathematically the results of fluorescence polarization and enzymatic hydrolysis.

Moreover, the combined biochemical model together with additional prognostic parameters (such as age, ethnic group, gynecological and obstetric anamnesis) increases the validity (accuracy, sensitivity and specificity) of the diagnostic conclusion.

Diagnostic Solution of the CDT:

  1. Mathematical processing of specific blood analysis in device Flowcytometer.
  2. Mathematical evaluation of specific prognostic parameters

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Hadassah Medical Organization at 1 site in Israel.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. 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 6 Jan 2010. 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 Israel. 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?

Contact Tamar Peretz, MD (6777825 ext. 009722, tamary@hadassah.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To validate the diagnostic ability of the CDT to detect breast cancer among women population over age 40 (time frame: one year). 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 6 Jan 2010.
