Trial summary

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) accounts for approximately 20% of newly diagnosed breast cancer cases. Of these women, 20% require radical management in the form of mastectomy because of the extent of the lesions, which most often manifest as diffuse microcalcifications. Read more about this study

About this study

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) accounts for approximately 20% of newly diagnosed breast cancer cases. Of these women, 20% require radical management in the form of mastectomy because of the extent of the lesions, which most often manifest as diffuse microcalcifications.

This mutilating surgical management contrasts with the excellent prognosis of this pathology and considerably alters the quality of life of patients.

Neoadjuvant hormone therapy has shown its efficacy in hormone-dependent infiltrating ductal carcinomas and offers the possibility of conservative surgery after hormone therapy.

Adjuvant hormone therapy with Tamoxifen or anti-aromatase drugs has shown its efficacy in the prevention of homo or contralateral recurrence.

The HORNEO 01 trial fits perfectly in the current context of surgical de-escalation of ductal carcinomas in situ. The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of neoadjuvant hormone therapy on the surgical management of extensive DCIS.

Read the detailed description

Description of the modalities for recruiting :

Following screening and discovery of a DCIS, patients are referred to the center for surgical management.

During a standard consultation, the surgeon presents the study to the patient who has been diagnosed with extensive DCIS with an indication for mastectomy. The surgeon provides the patient with the information note and the consent form to participate in the study. Once the consent form is signed by the patient and the investigator, the investigator prescribes a screening test to be performed within 30 days prior to the start of hormone therapy.

Screening assessment includes :

A clinical exam and a breast imaging exam (mammography and breast and axillary ultrasound). In case of a suspicious breast ultrasound image, microbiopsy will be performed to eliminate an infiltrating component.

One or more macrobiopsy. Each biopsied site will be located using an X-ray clip inserted at the time of sample.

A MRI post-macrobiopsy. Research of estrogen receptor expression

Once the investigator has verified and validated all the eligibility criteria, the patient will be included.

Prescriptions for Tamoxifen (non-menopausal patients) or Anastrozole (menopausal patients) are given to patients and dispensed by the center's pharmacy.

Monitoring during treatment :

Patients will benefit from imaging monitoring (Mammography, +/- breast ultrasound, +/- axillary ultrasound, MRI) at 3 months and 6 months during hormonotherapy.

In case of progression observed during treatment, hormone therapy will be stopped and you will then benefit from a mastectomy.

Surgery :

Mastectomy or tumorectomy will be performed according to the tumor response to hormone therapy observed on MRI.

All patients will benefit sentinel node detection. An additional axillary dissection will be performed based on the results of the sentinel node analysis.

Analysis of biomarkers and tumor microenvironment before and after treatment on diagnostic macrobiopsies and on tumorectomy or mastectomy will be performed at Institut de Cancérologie de l'Ouest.

Patients will be seen in postoperative consultation. Adjuvant treatments or re-surgical interventions will be prescribed, carried out, and the patients will be followed up and examined at 6 months after surgery or at the end of adjuvant treatments and then annually for 10 years (with control mammography).

Patients who have had conservative surgery will have an MRI at 6 months from the end of radiotherapy.

All patients will be asked to complete quality of life questionnaires at baseline, 6 and 12 months post-surgery, and annually for 9 years:

EORTC QLQ-C30 (up to 5 years only), Short Form (36) Health Survey questionnaire.

    Tamoxifen will be initiated in non menopausal patients orally for 6 months in a neoadjuvant situation.

  • Anastrozole 1Mg TabDrug

    Anastrozole will be initiated in menopausal patients orally for 6 months in a neoadjuvant situation.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Extended ductal carcinoma in situ with mastectomy indicationExperimentalPatients receive 6 months of tamoxifen or anastrozole in a neoadjuvant situation. Tamoxifen and Anastrozole will be delivered in their original packaging at J0 and M3 : * Tamoxifen: box of tablets dosed at 20 mg * Anastrozole: box of tablets 1 mg. Tamoxifen will be initiated in premenopausal patients orally at a standard dose of 20mg/day as a single dose for 6 months. Anastrozole will be administered orally to postmenopausal patients at the standard dose of 1mg/day in a single dose for 6 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of neoadjuvant hormonotherapy

    % of conservative surgeries performed after hormonotherapy

    Measured: 6 months of hormonotherapy

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Disease-free survival (DFS)

    DFS rates at 5 and 10 years post-surgery

    Measured: 5 and 10 years post-surgery

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    Survival rates at 5 and 10 years post-surgery

    Measured: 5 and 10 years post-surgery

  3. Pathologic Complete Response (pCR)

    Pathologic complete response is defined as no residual invasive cancer in the surgical specimen

    Measured: 6 months of hormonotherapy

  4. Predictive factors of response

    Response is defined by the variation in the diameter of the longest dimension of the target lesion measured by MRI

    Measured: 3 and 6 months of hormonotherapy

  5. Quality of Life (Qol)

    EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire

    Measured: At baseline, at 6 months and 12 months post-surgery, and then each year for 4 years

  6. Quality of Life (Qol)

    SF-36 questionnaire

    Measured: At baseline, at 6 months and 12 months post-surgery, and then each year for 9 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tamoxifen 20 mg and Anastrozole 1Mg Tab in people with Ductal Carcinoma in Situ and Extensive Disease, run by Institut Cancerologie de l'Ouest at 8 sites in France.

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 9 inclusion and 15 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Victoire BRILLAUD-MEFLAH, MD (0240679818 ext. +33, Victoire.brillaud-meflah@ico.unicancer.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy of neoadjuvant hormonotherapy (time frame: 6 months of hormonotherapy). 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 22 Apr 2022.
