About this study

Official title: Study of RNA and Heat Shock Protein (HSP) Derived Biomarkers in Radiation-induced Fibrosis in Patients Treated for Breast Cancer.

The purpose of this study is to seeking a molecular signature of pathological radiation induced fibrosis based on the response of skin fibroblasts after irradiation, comparing two groups of patients distinguished by their individual radiosensitivity. The signature will integrate recent insights in terms of alternative splicing of mRNAs and level of expression of non-coding RNAs, particularly long non-coding RNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs and microRNAs. In each group each expression patterns of candidate HSP proteins potentially predictive of pathological radiation induced fibrosis (HSP27, HSP70, αβ crystalline) in the serum and on cell culture will be characterized.

What is being measured

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

  1. Global mRNA alternative splicing and expression of non-coding RNAs profiles in healthy dermal fibroblasts

    frequency of inclusion of individual exons within the set of mRNA isoforms (overall splicing profile) and variation in expression of non-coding RNAs

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Transcriptomic signature of pathological induced fibrosis when comparing the primary outcome between the two populations on cultured fibroblasts

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Transcriptomic signature of pathological induced fibrosis when comparing the primary outcome between the two populations on serum

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Individual radiosensitivity on healthy dermal fibroblasts

    The micronuclei will be counted 24 hours after ex vivo irradiation with an indirect immunofluorescence assay (53BP1 + pATM antibodies)

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Comparison of the overall mRNA splicing and non-coding RNA expression profiles between non irradiated and irradiated dermal fibroblasts in the same individual

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Changes in cellular distribution of the main non-coding RNAs whose expression varies significantly within the pre-identified signature between the 2 groups of patients

    The cellular distribution is defined as the compartment (nucleoplasm, nucleolus, intra-nuclear corpuscles, cytosol, RE, mitochondria ...) marked by the fluorescent probe labeled to the non-coding RNAs of interest (RNA-FISH)

    Measured: 6 months

  6. seric HSP proteins potentially predictive of pathological induced fibrosis

    HSP27, HSP70 and αB crystalline measured in serum with ELISA assay

    Measured: 6 months

  7. Cellular distribution of specific HSP on fibroblast culture in each group of patients

    immunolabeling of HSPs and spatial mapping and sub-nuclear distributions

    Measured: 6 months

  8. Potential interactions between DNA damage response proteins and candidate HSP

    Collocation of HSPs with pATM and 53-BP1 (confocal microscopy / FLIM)

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing skin biopsies and blood samples in people with Breast Carcinoma and Fibrosis, run by Institut de Cancérologie de Lorraine at 1 site in France.

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 20 inclusion and 12 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 8 Aug 2018. 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 France. 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?

Global mRNA alternative splicing and expression of non-coding RNAs profiles in healthy dermal fibroblasts (time frame: 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 8 Aug 2018.
