Trial summary

Women with Breast Cancer who do not respond to chemotherapy may undergo months of treatment with little or no change in tumor size or overall outcome. The Researchers have demonstrated a previously undescribed "metabolic flare" response observed very early in neoadjuvant treatment in breast cancer patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Predicting Pathological Response Within the 1st Week of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Using Functional Parameters Measured With Diffuse Optical Spectroscopic Imaging

Women with Breast Cancer who do not respond to chemotherapy may undergo months of treatment with little or no change in tumor size or overall outcome.

The Researchers have demonstrated a previously undescribed "metabolic flare" response observed very early in neoadjuvant treatment in breast cancer patients. The research can determine that this flare is predictive of overall therapy response and is due to both an inflammatory reaction and cell death induced by cytotoxic therapy.

Read the detailed description

The researcher can use Diffuse Optical Spectroscopic Imaging device to measure and predict the markers of the response in the first weeks of chemo-therapy.

The oxyhemoglobin flare response can predictive of overall pathological response to chemotherapy in human subjects. These vascular changes can indicate the rapid transient increase and then decrease in oxyhemoglobin concentration in the first hours and days after therapeutic administration. The magnitude and time course of the flare response in patients receiving cytotoxic therapy will differ between pathological responders and non-responders. This oxyhemoglobin "flare response" can be observed In tumors where vascular dynamics are intact.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by University of California, Irvine at 3 sites 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 3 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 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?

improve treatment prognosis for breast cancer patients (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 1 Nov 2022.
