Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have a primary measurable, biopsy proven, invasive breast carcinoma with the primary tumor intact. The tumor should be staged clinically as T2-T4 (minimum size >2.0 cm).

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of an Imaging Biomarker for Early Detection of Treatment Efficacy During Breast Cancer Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

This is a single-arm, single-institution pilot study that will collect preliminary data to be used in the design of a subsequent study to assess whether changes in fDM (Functional Diffusion Maps) derived from primary breast cancer diffusion weighted MRI images can serve as an early predictor of response to treatment, and whether the magnitude of the change correlates with the effectiveness of treatment.

Read the detailed description

This trial has a two-step, sequential design, with continuation to the second part of the trial being dependent on the positive results in the first part. In Part One of the trial, the investigator will compare intrapatient variability in fDM performed at two timepoints prior to chemotherapy (chemotherapy will be chosen by the treating physician and will not be assigned as part of this study), with the change in fDM before and approximately one week after a dose of chemotherapy, to establish that treatment-related changes in fDM will occur in this clinical setting. If there are positive results in Part One, then the investigator will proceed to the second half of the trial. In Part Two, the investigator will examine changes in fDM that occur one week after each type of chemotherapy is administered, which will be compared to pathologic response, radiological response, and clinical response.

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

    Also called DW-MRI

Study groups in NCT02679586
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Diffusion weighted MRI GroupExperimentalAll patients will receive a double baseline diffusion weighted MRI (performed on the same day as the Baseline MRI). Patients participating in Part I will receive another MRI approximately 1 week (day 8-11) after the first dose of Chemotherapy (chemotherapy will be determined by the treating physician and is not assigned as part of this trial). Patients participating in Part II will receive a single MRI 1-2 weeks after the first dose of Chemotherapy A (chemotherapy will be determined by the treating physician and is not assigned as part of this trial). A second MRI will be repeated within 2 weeks prior to the start of Chemotherapy B.
Receives: Device: Diffusion weighted MRI

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent change in apparent diffusion coefficient between baseline and 8-11 days after chemotherapy

    Percent change in apparent diffusion coefficient was determined by calculating the percentage change between the value prior to chemotherapy and at 8-11 days post treatment for treatment responders (patients with Complete Response [CR] or Partial Response [PR]) and for the treatment non-responders (patients with Stable Disease [SD] or Progressive Disease [PD]).

    Measured: baseline and 8-11 days post treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in relative tumor volume with increasing apparent diffusion coefficient between baseline and 8-11 days of chemotherapy

    Determine, by Parametric Response Map (PRM), the percent relative tumor volume with increasing ADC in responders (patients with Complete Response [CR] or Partial Response [PR]) and non-responders (patients with Stable Disease [SD] or Progressive Disease [PD].

    Measured: baseline and 8-11 days post treatment

  2. Change in relative tumor volume with decreasing apparent diffusion coefficient between baseline and 8-11 days of chemotherapy

    Determine, by Parametric Response Map (PRM), the percent relative tumor volume with decreasing ADC in responders (patients with Complete Response [CR] or Partial Response [PR]) and non-responders (patients with Stable Disease [SD] or Progressive Disease [PD].

    Measured: baseline and 8-11 days post treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Diffusion weighted MRI in people with Breast Cancer, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center 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 13 inclusion and 0 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 11 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Percent change in apparent diffusion coefficient between baseline and 8-11 days after chemotherapy (time frame: baseline and 8-11 days post treatment). 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 NCT02679586, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Feb 2016.
