About this study

Official title: Genetic Modifiers of BRCA1/BRCA2-Related Breast Cancer Risk in BRCA1/BRCA2 Mutation Carriers - CIMBA 5

RATIONALE: Studying samples of DNA in the laboratory from women who are BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers may help doctors learn more about cancer and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at breast cancer risk in women who are BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To identify potential genetic modifiers of breast cancer risk by contributing data and genetic information obtained from women who are BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers enrolled in clinical trial GOG-0199 to an international consortium of clinical cancer genetics investigators (CIMBA).

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified by study, country of residence, ethnicity, and birth cohort. Joint analyses of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers are further stratified by mutation.

Previously collected DNA samples are analyzed for genetic variants in selected candidate genes (rs16942 in BRCA1, rs2237060 in RAD50, "SNP3", and rs2241193 in IGFBP5). The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from this study and selected demographic, clinical, and epidemiological data obtained from the baseline questionnaire administered in the GOG-0199 study are submitted to the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA-Associated Cancer (CIMBA) Central Database. The epidemiological and SNP data contributed to the Central Database are then distributed to the investigators responsible for analysis of a particular SNP or set of SNPs from a candidate gene or genetic pathway.

Being tested
DNA analysis, mutation analysis, polymorphism analysis, laboratory biomarker analysis, evaluation of cancer risk factors
Keywords
breast cancer, BRCA1 mutation carrier, BRCA2 mutation carrier

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of brca1 Mutation Carrier and brca2 Mutation Carrier, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group at 1 site 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?

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 23 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identification of potential genetic modifiers of breast cancer risk. 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 23 Mar 2011.
