Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 years and older
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Breast cancer cases diagnosed after 1994 and equal number of frequency-matched (by age within 2 years and ethnicity) controls. Cases and eligible controls with at least 3 screening mammograms since 1994 will be recruited through the University Hospitals Breast Center, and primary care clinics within the University Hospitals Health System (UHHS). The restriction of 3 or more screening mammograms will allow us to adequately model the longitudinal change patterns.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient at the University Hospitals Breast Center and primary care clinics within the University Hospitals system
  • Have at least 3 screening mammograms since 1994
  • for cases, diagnosis with breast cancer between 2004-2006

Who cannot join

  • having had irregular screening (less than 3 mammorgrams since 1994)
  • Having breast implants
  • Known carriers of BRCA1/BRCA2 genes
  • Unable to give written consent

About this study

Official title: Longitudinal Changes in Mammographic Density and Risk of Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Studying mammograms for breast density changes over time may help doctors predict breast cancer risk.

PURPOSE: This natural history study is looking at changes in breast density and gathering health information over time to assess breast cancer risk in women with breast cancer and in healthy women.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Characterize each woman's individual mammographic density (MD) longitudinal change trajectory in women with breast cancer and in healthy female participants to assess within-individual MD longitudinal change and breast cancer risk.
  • Examine whether these patients or healthy participants manifest different patterns of within-individual change in MD and evaluate predictors of across-individual differences.
  • Determine whether the developmental profile of MD differs systematically between these patients and healthy participants.

OUTLINE: This is a prospective, retrospective, controlled study. Patients and healthy participants are frequency-matched by age (± 2 years) and ethnicity.

  • Questionnaire: Patients and healthy participants complete a self-administered questionnaire providing detailed information on breast cancer risk factors, including demographics, behavioral and lifestyle factors, reproductive history, family history of breast cancer, comorbidities, medication and hormone replacement therapy use, and breast cancer screening history. This information is then cross-validated with documented data abstracted from medical records to provide a longitudinal and historical framework for assessing individual risk.
  • Mammographic density (MD) assessment: Patients and healthy participants are evaluated for patterns of longitudinal change in MD and subsequent breast cancer risk by retrospective review of screening mammograms performed prior to breast cancer diagnosis.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1500 patients and 1500 healthy participants will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Within-individual mammographic density (MD) longitudinal change and breast cancer risk

    Measured: cancer cases diagnosed within the last 3 years (2004-2006).

  2. Patterns of within-individual longitudinal change in MD

    Measured: cancer cases diagnosed within the last 3 years (2004-2006)

  3. Predictors of across-individual differences in MD change

    Measured: cancer cases diagnosed within the last 3 years (2004-2006)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 8 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 3 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2020. 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 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Within-individual mammographic density (MD) longitudinal change and breast cancer risk (time frame: cancer cases diagnosed within the last 3 years (2004-2006).). 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 11 Feb 2020.
