  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Twelve female patients at least 18 years of age undergoing neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced breast cancer with either chemotherapy or hormonal therapy will be recruited for this study. Inclusion of those patients 18 years or older is important since as it is the younger patients who present with breast cancer that often end up receiving neoadjuvant treatment.

Who may be able to join

  • Female gender
  • Age 18 years or older
  • Any ethnicity
  • Are undergoing neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced breast cancer with either chemotherapy or hormonal therapy
  • Is able to provide informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy
  • Lactation
  • Women who are unable or unwilling to understand or to provide informed consent
  • Women with physical limitations that may prohibit resting prone on the exam table, such as, but not limited to: frozen shoulder, recent heart surgery, pace maker.
  • Women who are unable to tolerate study constraints.
  • Women who have received radiation treatments to the thorax for malignant and nonmalignant conditions, such as (but not limited to):

  • Treatment for enlarged thymus gland as an infant
  • Irradiation for benign breast conditions, including breast inflammation after giving birth
  • Treatment for Hodgkin's disease
  • Women who have participated in a prior breast clinical trial that gave additional radiation dose, such as an additional mammogram.
  • Women who have received large numbers of diagnostic x-ray examinations for monitoring of disease such as (but not limited to):
  • Tuberculosis
  • Severe scoliosis

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor volume change from baseline during neoadjuvant treatment

    Tumor volume will be measured with KBCT imaging at the beginning of the therapy (baseline), mid-point of the therapy (about 3 months after the treatment starts) and end of therapy (about 4-6 months after the treatment starts). The volume change from the baseline during the treatment will be recorded.

    Adverse Events will be recorded as a measure of safety.

    Measured: Baseline, mid-point (~3 months), and end of therapy (4-6 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Koning Corporation 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 5 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 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 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?

Tumor volume change from baseline during neoadjuvant treatment (time frame: Baseline, mid-point (~3 months), and end of therapy (4-6 months)). 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 13 Jan 2016.
