About this study

Official title: Phi29 Motor Nanopore for Single Molecule Sensing: Breast Nipple Aspirate Fluid

This trial studies nipple aspirate fluid in detecting breast cancer. Nipple aspirate fluid may better detect breast cancer earlier than current methods used for screening such as mammograms and breast examinations.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To obtain nipple aspirate fluid (NAF) samples from non-lactating women subjects at least 40-years-old.

II. To analyze the samples using a novel protein nanopore-based detection platform to evaluate the efficacy of the platform for breast cancer diagnosis through detection of biomarkers.

OUTLINE:

Participants and healthy volunteers undergo collection of nipple aspirate fluid from both breasts.

After completion of study, participants are followed up at 1 year.

Being tested
Aspiration of Breast, Biospecimen Collection

Receives: Procedure: Aspiration of Breast; Procedure: Biospecimen Collection

What is being measured

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

  1. Biomarkers expression levels

    Nipple aspiration fluid samples will be compared between breast cancer participants and healthy participants. will perform the logistic regression model for each biomarker that shows any difference between the breast cancer patients and healthy individuals. Then we will include multiple biomarkers in one model while controlling for confounders.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aspiration of Breast and Biospecimen Collection in people with Anatomic Stage IA Breast Cancer AJCC v8 and Anatomic Stage IB Breast Cancer AJCC v8, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive 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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2025. 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?

Biomarkers expression levels (time frame: Up to 1 year). 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 25 Feb 2025.
