About this study

Official title: Validation of a Serum Marker Panel for Early Detection of Breast Cancer in High-Risk Women

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood and studying them in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is examining biomarkers in women with a high risk or average risk of breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Identify and validate serum biomarkers that can distinguish malignant from benign and normal breast conditions in women at high risk or average risk for breast cancer.

Secondary

  • Standardize procedures for recruitment, characterization, and follow-up of participants and collection, processing, storage, and analysis of specimens.
  • Assess marker variability over time in healthy controls.
  • Develop a shared specimen resource to support ongoing early detection research.

OUTLINE: Blood samples are collected every 6 months and assayed for the presence of biomarkers.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 625 participants will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Biomarker evaluation for the early detection of breast cancer to improve outcomes for women at risk for breast cancer. 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 9 Nov 2010.
