About this study

Official title: Local Excision Alone for Selected Patients With DCIS of the Breast

RATIONALE: The evaluation of breast cancer recurrence rates may improve the ability to plan cancer treatment for patients with breast cancer.

PURPOSE: Study to evaluate the rate of recurrence of breast cancer in women who have had surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate actuarial local in situ and invasive recurrence rates at 5 and 10 years after local excision in women with a favorable ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) prognosis.
  • Evaluate concordance between institutional pathologists and central review pathologists with respect to diagnosis and grading of DCIS.
  • Identify parameters that indicate increased or decreased risk of recurrence in the absence of irradiation.
  • Evaluate patterns of salvage of recurrence and rates of breast conservation.
  • Evaluate actuarial relapse-free, overall, and cause-specific survival at 5 and 10 years post DCIS excision.

OUTLINE: This is a registration study stratified by histologic grade (high vs low or intermediate) and adjuvant tamoxifen therapy (yes vs no).

Patients receive standard clinical and mammographic follow-up for greater than 10 years. If recurrence occurs, treatment will be at the discretion of the investigators. Patients may receive adjuvant oral tamoxifen daily for 5 years after local excision.

A follow up magnification view mammogram must be taken after the last local excision, and microcalcification must be negative.

Patients are followed every 6 months for the first 10 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 1000 (500 per stratum) eligible and evaluable patients will be enrolled at an estimated accrual rate of 250 patients per year.

What is being measured

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

  1. Actuarial local recurrence rate

    Rate of in situ or invasive local breast cancer recurrence

    Measured: Assessed at 5 years

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  2. Study start25 Jun 1997
  3. Primary completionDec 2007
  4. Study completionOct 2012

Why it stopped: This study was terminated when the accrual goal for the low/intermediate grade stratum was reached. The high grade stratum was closed due to slow accrual.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing long-term screening in people with Breast Cancer, run by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group at 30 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 30 sites in United States, South Africa. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: This study was terminated when the accrual goal for the low/intermediate grade stratum was reached. The high grade stratum was closed due to slow accrual.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Actuarial local recurrence rate (time frame: Assessed at 5 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 NCT00002934, which also lists 3 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 22 Jun 2023.
