About this study

Official title: An Observational, Retrospective Study on the Progress of Breast Cancer Cases in Males and the Assessment of Relapse Risk Through Gene Sequencing

An observational, Other Designs (OD) post-marketing, multicenter study, which will obtain retrospective data from male patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer between 2000 and 2019 in the medical oncology departments of hospitals that are associated with Spanish Breast Cancer Research Group (GEICAM) (using information obtained from patient medical histories).

Read the detailed description

One of the objectives of this project is to ensure representativeness of the cases referred to. Accordingly, participating sites agree to enroll in the study male patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer in the period between 2000 and 2019.

    DMFS: it is defined as the time from date of initial breast cancer diagnosis to the date of the first documented distant relapse, second invasive non-breast primary tumor, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. In the event that none of the previous events were observed, censoring the last contact date will be considered.

    Measured: From date of patient breast cancer diagnosis until 2019.

  6. Progression-free survival (PFS).

    PFS: it is defined as the time from the start date of a specific treatment to the documentation of disease progression on such treatment, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. In the event that none of the previous events were observed, censoring the last contact date will be considered.

    Measured: From date of patient breast cancer diagnosis until 2019.

  7. Overall survival (OS).

    OS: it is defined as the time from the date of initial breast cancer diagnosis to the date of death due to any cause.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, Male, run by Spanish Breast Cancer Research Group at 54 sites in Spain.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 26 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 54 sites in Spain. 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?

General condition: Age (time frame: From date of patient breast cancer diagnosis until 2019.). The study lists 26 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Feb 2025.
