About this study
Official title: Cancer Prevention in Women With a BRCA Mutation: A Follow-up Genetic Counselling Intervention
This study aims to develop a follow-up telephone-based genetic counselling (FTGC) intervention for women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation who have received genetic counseling in the past. Typically, when women undergo genetic testing, they receive standard genetic counselling prior to testing in order to fully understand the procedure and associated implications. If a woman's genetic test results are positive for a mutation, cancer prevention options are then discussed with a counsellor. However, in Canada, there is currently no formal follow-up counselling for women with a BRCA mutation to provide ongoing guidance and support about latest risk reduction strategies. Standard care relies on women making contact for any follow-up questions or concerns they may have. As a result, these women might not have the most current information regarding genetic risk assessment and prevention options. Therefore, individuals are being asked to participate in this study to aid research about the efficacy of FTGC in women with a BRCA mutation.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Follow-up Telephone Genetic CounsellingBehavioural
Individualized theoretical genetic counselling among women with BRCA mutations to assess the impact it has on the uptake of cancer prevention strategies.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| FTGC at 1 month | Active comparator | Individuals randomized to the intervention group will receive a tailored cancer risk assessment via a follow-up telephone genetic counselling (FTGC) session within one month of study enrollment. Receives: Behavioral: Follow-up Telephone Genetic Counselling |
| Standard Care + FTGC in 12 months | No intervention | Individuals randomized to the intervention group will receive a tailored cancer risk assessment at 12 months following study enrollment |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Efficacy of FTGC session
The primary aim is to determine the effects of a tailored risk communication intervention (FTGC) compared to a standard intervention
Measured: 3 years
Secondary outcomes (1)
Emotional and cognitive outcomes of intervention
Secondary aims are to compare the two study groups with regard to intent of cancer prevention strategies, decisional conflict, cancer-related distress, cancer risk and prevention knowledge, choice predisposition and health service utilization.
Measured: 3 yrs

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Follow-up Telephone Genetic Counselling in people with BRCA1 Gene Mutation and BRCA2 Gene Mutation, run by Women's College Hospital at 3 sites in Canada.
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 6 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 9 Jun 2016. 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 Canada. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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 Sophia Virani (416-351-3800 ext. 2761, sophia.virani@wchospital.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Efficacy of FTGC session (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02225015, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 9 Jun 2016.
