About this study

Official title: A Translational Study of Breast-implant assocIated anaplastIc Large Cell Lymphoma and Capsular Contracture

BASILICA is a UK NIHR Biomedical Research Centre funded study recruiting patients at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. The study aims to obtain blood and tissue samples from patients with breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), capsular contracture and implant-naïve patients undergoing primary implant insertion surgery for translational scientific analysis.

Read the detailed description

BASILICA is a translational research study being undertaken at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust that aims to investigate aetiology of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), capsular contracture (CC) as well as the immune changes that occur in implant-naïve patients undergoing primary implant insertion surgery.

BIA-ALCL is a rare tumour seen in a very small number of women with textured breast implants. Overall incidence is estimated at 2 per 1,000,000 women/year with a lifetime risk of 1 in 30,000 for textured breast implants. It presents commonly with a sudden seroma around an implant or, occasionally, as a soft tissue mass adjacent to the implant capsule. In 2016, the disease was classified by the WHO as a CD30+ ALK- non-Hodgkin's T-cell lymphoma. Surgery (en bloc capsulectomy) is curative for the majority of cases. Scientific appreciation of aetiology is limited but current thinking implicates chronic inflammation as a protagonist for pathogenesis through hypertonic antigen presentation.

CC is the fibrotic tightening of a capsule that forms around a breast implant and leads to palpable hardening, pain and visible distortion. The biggest risk factor is radiotherapy with quoted incidence rates as high as 50% in some series. Management is a significant clinical challenge with limited options and high recurrence rates. The most common surgical approaches are to remove the capsule (capsulectomy) or exchange and change the anatomical plane of implant placement. The only definitive surgical management is to explant the implant and perform autologous breast reconstruction, if feasible, or, no reconstruction at all.

BASILICA will obtain pathological capsular tissue (CC and BIA-ALCL) and non-pathological capsule tissue (control tissue) as well as blood samples from patients undergoing any form of implant-related surgery. The investigators aim to use these tissues to perform translational analyses investigating the aetiology of each pathology and the physiological immunological response to silicone implant insertion. They hypothesise that 1) specific differences exist in the immunological and matrisomal profiles of CC and BIA-ALCL that drive the pathogenesis of each clinical entity, and that 2) insertion of a silicone prosthesis causes changes in the composition of the humoral and cellular components of the circulating immune system.

Study groups in NCT05017337
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BASILICA-ABreast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) patients recruited both retrospectively and prospectively. Pre- and post-operative (3m and 12m) blood samples taken from prospectively recruited patients. Patients undergoing surgery + neo-adjuvant chemotherapy will be invited to donate an additional blood sample following the end of their neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Diagnostic pathology: Where possible fresh seroma aspirate / capsular tissue will be obtained, if not possible the FFPE embedded seroma or tissue block will be requested. Post-operative pathological FFPE tissue samples obtained from all recruited patients.
BASILICA-CPatients undergoing capsule related surgery (any-grade of capsular contracture, irradiated and unirradiated capsules) recruited prospectively. Pre- and post-operative (3m) blood samples taken from all patients. Intra-operative tissue sampling (capsular washings, 2 samples of ADM and 2 samples of non-ADM capsule) from all patients.
BASILICA-NImplant naive patients undergoing implant insertion surgery recruited prospectively. Pre- and post-operative (3m and 12 m) blood samples taken from all patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Immunohistochemical analysis of capsular tissue

    Perform immunohistochemical profiling of capsular tissues (CC, BIA-ALCL and control) and seroma fluid for immune cell subtypes to determine if differences exist within and between groups (BASILICA A and C).

    Measured: 3 year following final sample collection

  2. Capsular tissue profiling using Multi-OMIC technologies

    Perform multi-OMIC (methylome, transcriptome, proteome) profiling of capsular tissues (CC, BIA-ALCL and control) to determine if differences exist within and between groups (BASILICA A and C).

    Measured: 3 year following final sample collection

  3. Immune profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells

    Perform immune profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from BIA-ALCL and Non-BIA-ALCL donors (CC and implant naive) to determine if differences exist within and between groups (BASILICA A, C and N)

    Measured: 3 year following final sample collection

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Appraisal of patient clinical characteristics

    Correlate demographic and clinical characteristics of biobank donors with translational scientific dataset (BASILICA A, C and N)

    Measured: 3 year following final sample collection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma and Capsular Contracture, Implant, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at 2 sites in United Kingdom.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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 19 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United Kingdom. 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 Joseph Ward, MBChB MRCS (02073528171, joseph.ward@icr.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Immunohistochemical analysis of capsular tissue (time frame: 3 year following final sample collection). The study lists 3 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 19 Jan 2023.
