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 65 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult women will be recruited for this study. Women undergoing screening mammography will be chosen if they are between the ages of 40 and 65. Women will be excluded if they have a personal history of breast or ovarian cancer, DCIS, or mantle radiation, or known BRCA 1/2 mutation in self or in family members.

Who may be able to join

  • Women between the ages of 40 and 65 years old undergoing screening mammography at the University of Pennsylvania Health System and women undergoing biopsy as the result of a BIRADS category 4 mammogram result.

Who cannot join

  • Women will be excluded if they have a personal history of breast or ovarian cancer, DCIS, or mantle radiation, or known BRCA 1/2 mutation in self or in family members.
  • In addition, women younger than 40 or older than 65 will be excluded if they are in the screening mammography population of potential participants.

About this study

Official title: SNP Panels and Risk Assessment in Women Undergoing Mammography

The primary objective is to compare the predicted lifetime risk values produced by SNP panel assessment to the risk values produced by the prediction models that are most commonly used. A second objective is to examine whether the incorporation of risk assessment panels (standard or SNP based) can improve the positive value of breast biopsies in women with BIRADS 4 mammograms.

Read the detailed description

Calculating the risk that a woman will develop breast cancer in her lifetime can lead to decreased mortality rates as a result of increased screening and prevention methods when a person is known to be at high risk. Though there are several risk assessment models that are commonly used, it is important to continue to improve the process of calculating risk. Several genetic markers have been noted to potentially indicate risk of developing breast cancer. New tests, called SNP panels, can detect some of these genetic markers. This study aims to use both these SNP panels and the commonly used risk models to calculate risk and examine outcomes in women coming in to do screening mammography. This study will enroll women between the ages of 40-65 who are undergoing screening mammography (n=1000), in addition to women with BIRADS category 4 mammogram readings who are about to undergo biopsy (n=600), all with no personal history of breast or ovarian cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), mantle radiation, or known BRCA 1/2/mutation in self or family members. The participants will only be expected rto provide consent, swabs of the inside of the cheek of her mouth, and baseline questionnaire answers that will allow for a risk assessment to be performed.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Random SampleA random sample of 600 women undergoing screening mammography
BIRADS score of 4An additional 600 women determined to have a Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) score of 4 as determined by final mammogram results.

What is being measured

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

  1. Predicted Risk Category and Prevention Recommendations

    The predicted risk category and prevention recommendations which are based upon the category each patient falls into after risk assessment using either a traditional or a SNP-based approach. Change in PPV of mannographic biopsy by stratification into low and high risk groups.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tests and Evaluations

    Secondary Outcome will be determining the number of women who are ordered and/or complete tests and/or evaluations if there are abnormal imaging results during mammography or if they have high lifetime risk. These will be measured through access to the electronic medical records (EMR) and/or through a follow up survey.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mammography, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine 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?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Mar 2019. 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?

Predicted Risk Category and Prevention Recommendations. 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 7 Mar 2019.
