About this study

Official title: Role of Persistant Organics Pollutants in the Metastatic Potential of Malignant Breast Tumor.

Persistant Organics Pollutants (POP) accumulate in the adipose tissue (AT) and could modulate tumor progression as part of the microenvironment. The investigators tested the hypothesis that POPs exposure may be associated with breast cancer metastasis analyzing the concentrations of 46 POPs in both adipose tissue and serum samples from breast tumor patients (benign, malignant with and without lymph node metastasis)

Read the detailed description

The investigators set up a longitudinal prospective monocentric cohort study in the gynecologic-oncologic surgery department of European Hospital Georges-Pompidou, with patients undergoing partial or total mastectomies, lymph node biopsies or axillary lymph node removal and sampling of the adipocytic tumour microenvironment to measure POPs using gas chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. The objective is to analyze the concentrations of 46 POPs including polychlorinated dibenzo(p)dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybromodiphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polybromobiphenyls (PBBs) in both adipose tissue (AT) and serum samples from breast tumor patients (benign, malignant with and without lymph node metastasis).

What is being measured

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

  1. Metastatic lymph node status based of persistant organic pollutants level measured by by gas chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry.

    Correlation between 1) the concentrations of 46 persistant organic pollutants (including polychlorinated dibenzo(p)dioxin and furan, PCBs, polybromodiphenyl ethers and polybromobiphenyls measured by by gas chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry on double sector instruments (JEOL MS 700D and 800D) after electron impact ionization (70 eV), operating at 10000 resolutions (10% valley) and in the single ion monitoring (SIM) acquisition mode) in both adipose tissue and serum samples and 2) breast cancer status (with and without lymph node metastasis)

    Measured: Sampling the day of surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pro metastatic genes messenger ribonucleic acid (mARN) expression in the tumor based of metastatic lymph node status and persistant pollutants level.

    Correlation between the mRNA levels of metastatic biomarkers measured by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction amplification (PCR) in tumors (based of metastatic lymph node status) and the levels of persistant organic pollutants measured by gas chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry.

    List of genes measured : Epithelial-to-mesenchymal (ECadherin, SNAIL, SLUG), matrix metalloproteases, metabolism, vascular endothelial grown factor, stem-cell properties, hormon receptor, inflammatory genes, xenobiotic receptor Aryl Hydrocarbon receptor (AhR).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood test sample and Peritumoral adipose tissue sample in people with Breast Cancer and Persistant Organic Pollutants, run by European Georges Pompidou Hospital.

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 7 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 27 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Metastatic lymph node status based of persistant organic pollutants level measured by by gas chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. (time frame: Sampling the day of surgery). 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 27 Dec 2018.
