About this study

Official title: Targeting Progesterone Signaling for Breast Cancer Prevention in BRCA1 Carriers: a Pilot Study

The purpose of this study is to examine how a single dose of MIFEPREX® (mifepristone) affects the breast tissue in patients with BRCA1 (a gene that normally acts to restrain the growth of cells in the breast, but if it mutates may lead to breast cancer) mutations undergoing a planned prophylactic mastectomy (having one or both breasts removed).

Read the detailed description

This is a single arm, prospective, observational trial enrolling up to 10 patients within Indiana University Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center. Eligible women will be consented to undergo breast biopsy 2-6 days prior to prophylactic mastectomy and take one dose of mifepristone 2 days prior to prophylactic mastectomy. If the initial biopsy is obtained on Day -2, the mifepristone should be taken AFTER the biopsy. Tissue from the ipsilateral breast will be taken at the time of mastectomy.

Primary Objective To determine the impact of a single 200 mg dose of mifepristone on gene expression and metabolomic alterations in breast tissue of women with BRCA1 mutations who are planning prophylactic mastectomy.

Being tested
Mifepristone 200 MG, Prophylactic mastectomy
Keywords
progesterone signaling, mifepristone, glucocorticoid receptor, androgen receptor
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Impact of mifepristone

    Measured: From baseline (day -2 to day -6) to Breast surgery (day 0)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of BRCA1 Mutation and High-grade Serous Ovarian Cancer, run by Indiana University at 2 sites in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 9 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Dec 2022. 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 States. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Impact of mifepristone (time frame: From baseline (day -2 to day -6) to Breast surgery (day 0)). 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 15 Dec 2022.
