About this study

Official title: Predisposition to Breast Cancer BRCA1 / BRCA2 and to HNPCC Colon : Comparison to Psychological, Medical and Emotional Influencing Communication and Achievement Factors to Oncogenetics Tests

The purpose of the study was to analyze the psychological and emotional determinants of domestic dissemination of information about genetic risk of cancer and to compare the level of diffusion syndromes in breast/ ovarian cancer ( BRCA1 / BRCA2) and colon/endometrial ( HNPCC )

Read the detailed description

The risk associated with a genetic predisposition is among the various forms of risk, the strongest identifiable risk . It enables to offer people at risk an appropriate medical care (screening, prevention ) the clinical benefit is validated today. The person with whom a predisposing mutation has been identified must communicated its related information on the risk of cancer and the ability to perform genetic analysis. It appears that this dissemination of information is not always optimal, as shown in figures from the National Cancer Institute joined the project; the purpose of the study was to analyze the psychological and emotional determinants of domestic dissemination of information about genetic risk of cancer and to compare the level of diffusion syndromes in breast/ ovarian cancer ( BRCA1 / BRCA2) and colon/endometrial ( HNPCC )

What is being measured

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

  1. intrafamilial disclosure rate

    The intrafamilial disclosure rate assessed the number of relatives informed by the proband about the mutation (according to the proband) out of the number of relatives at risk of carrying the familial mutation. Relatives who were considered "at risk" were first, second, third or fourth-degree relatives, older than 18 years and related to the relevant side of the family or, if unknown, just related to the proband whatever the family side.

    Measured: On average 1 year

  2. relatives' genetic targeted testing uptake rate

    The relatives' genetic targeted testing uptake rate assessed the number of relatives considered by the proband to have taken up the genetic targeted testing out of the number of relatives informed by the proband. To assess the potential bias of the proband's perception of genetic targeted testing uptake by relatives, we compared the number of relatives who underwent genetic targeted testing according to the proband with the number of tests actually performed. This anonymous comparison was performed in a subset of the population within the geographic regional area of Montpellier where all analyses are centralized in a single laboratory. Probands were asked how many relatives living in the region underwent genetic testing and this number was compared with the information available from the University Laboratory of Montpellier.

    Measured: On average 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer and Colorectal Cancer, run by University Hospital, Montpellier.

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 3 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 28 Mar 2019. 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?

intrafamilial disclosure rate (time frame: On average 1 year). The study lists 2 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 28 Mar 2019.
