About this study

To delineate if the chemical composition (lipid and water) in the presumably normal breast of the high risk women is different from those of the low risk group.

Read the detailed description

The researchers would like to investigate and compare the chemical composition in the normal breast between high risk women and general population.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. comparison of lipid water composition and ratio of the normal breasts in women of high risk group and low risk group.

    This is a cross sectional study. And we just assess the chemical composition of normal breasts of women at a given time point, since the participants only received one time of study.

    Measured: up to 5 years ( July 2008 to June 2013)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. to investigate the association between breast density and lipid water ratio of normal breasts

    to investigate whether there is association of breast density and chemical composition of normal breast on proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

    Measured: up to 5 years (July 2008 to June 2013)

  2. to investigate the association between menopausal status and lipid water ratio of normal breasts

    to investigate whether there is association of menopausal status and chemical composition of normal breast on proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

    Measured: up to 5 years ( July 2008 to June 2013)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in people with Breast Diseases, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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 2 Feb 2016. 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 Taiwan. 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?

comparison of lipid water composition and ratio of the normal breasts in women of high risk group and low risk group. (time frame: up to 5 years ( July 2008 to June 2013)). 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 2 Feb 2016.
