About this study

Official title: Detection of XIST Gene Deletion by Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization in Patients With Breast Cancer and Its Relation With Different Response to Therapies

Very little is known about the role of X-inactive specific transcript RNA in human breast cancer and in regulating different response to therapy .

the relation between the breast cancer predisposing gene BRCA1 \& X-inactive specific transcript RNA has been investigated but still controversial.

Loss of X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is observed in breast cancer . Other studies sheds light on a possible mechanism of breast carcinogenesis mediated by XIST misbehaviour.

Read the detailed description

breast cancer is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in women .Genetics of female contributes to her risk of having breast cancer . this disease is still discovered in their late stages due to the negligence of females inspite of self inspection and clinical examination of the breast .the identification of markers that could predict the tumor behavior is important in breast cancer management , staging, evaluation of therapeutic response and development of new therapeutic modalities .XIST (X-inactive specific transcript) RNA is a long non -coding RNA which plays an important role in inactivation of x_ chromosome which act as an example for long non _ coding RNA mediated gene regulation .Very little is known about the role of XIST in human breast cancer and in regulating different response on therapy . the relation between the breast cancer predisposing gene BRCA1 \& XIST has been investigated but still controversial .Loss of X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is observed in breast . some studies provide evedience that BRCA1 Is involved in XIST regulation on the active X chromosome but not its localization .other studies sheds light on a possible mechanism of breast carcinogenesis mediated by XIST misbehaviour .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Assiut University.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Eman Mosaad Zaki, PhD (00201065518821, Eman_mosaad@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

detection of X inactive specific transcript RNA deletion in patients with breast cancer (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04093609, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 18 Sep 2019.
