Trial summary

Luminal A breast cancer is a kind of breast cancer with low rate lymph node metastasis and good survival. But in clinical practice, Luminal A breast cancer can present with early, unexpected lymph node metastasis some time, indicates poor survival. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Role of SIRT1 in Regulation of Epithelial-to-mesenchymal Transition in Breast Cancer Lymph Nodes Metastasis for Luminal A Subtype

Luminal A breast cancer is a kind of breast cancer with low rate lymph node metastasis and good survival. But in clinical practice, Luminal A breast cancer can present with early, unexpected lymph node metastasis some time, indicates poor survival. Silent information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) plays a different role in breast cancer with different molecular typing. Previous study supports a role of SIRT1 protein as tumor suppressor in Luminal A breast cancer, in association with apoptosis-related proteins. The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition(EMT) process results in loss of cell-cell adhesion, increased cell mobility, and is crucial for enabling the metastasis of cancer cells. But no similar study in Luminal A breast cancer. Hence, this study will 1) investigate the expression pattern of SIRT1 in primary tumor and lymph node metastasis; 2) investigate the different expression pattern of SIRT1 in T2/T3 , lymph node negative tumor and T1, lymph node positive tumor; 3) investigate potential role of SIRT1 enzyme in regulating cell migration and invasion in Luminal A breast cancer cells.

Read the detailed description

The study has three parts.

  1. In large specimens of human Luminal A breast cancer with T1 tumor and positive axillary lymph node, study the difference expression of SIRT1 and related p53, Bcl-2, autophagy-related protein caspase-3, apaf-1 between primary tumor and lymph node metastases. Collect 50 pairs of T1 primary tumors and corresponding metastatic lymph node specimens. Using immunohistochemistry, anti-SIRT1, p53, Bcl-2, caspase-3 and apaf-1 antibody staining to identify the expression of above proteins in the primary tumor and lymph node metastases.
  2. Eighty patients with Luminal type A breast cancer (T1N+) were enrolled in this study. At the same time,eighty patients were enrolled in the paraffin-embedded specimens of the patients with T2N+ and T3N+,too. And all patients were followed up. Immunohistochemical staining with anti-SIRT1, p53, Bcl-2, caspase-3, apaf-1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin antibodies to determine the relationship between above protein expression and routine clinicopathological and survival.
  3. Explore the involvement of SIRT1 in hormone receptor-positive human breast cancer cells at the cellular level. The molecular mechanism of EMT-related protein regulation, which affects the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of tumor cells.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Lymph Node Metastases, run by Peking University People's Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 24 Oct 2019. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact yuan peng, Doctor (+8613671287670, 13671287670@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Protein expression difference (time frame: 2020-2). 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 24 Oct 2019.
