What is being measured

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

  1. estimate the proportion of patients with allelic imbalance at the level of expression of BRCA1

    The main objective of this study is to estimate the proportion of patients with allelic imbalance at the level of expression of BRCA1 in a population meeting the criteria suggestive of a hereditary predisposition to breast and / or ovarian cancer , and negative for deleterious mutations of BRCA 1 and BRCA 2.

    Measured: blood sample at baseline, no follow-up in this study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Study the variability of the measurement of the allelic expression depending on the position of SNPs

    Study the variability of the measurement of the allelic expression depending on the position of SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) in the gene, in order to extend this research to variants of unknown significance whatever their position in the gene.

    Measured: blood sample at baseline, no follow-up in this study

  2. proportion of patients with allelic imbalance at the level of expression of the BRCA2 gene

    Estimate the proportion of patients with allelic imbalance at the level of expression of the BRCA2 gene in the same population.

    Measured: blood sample at baseline, no follow-up in this study

  3. Observe the possible effect of age

    The frequency of allelic imbalance of expression will be compared depending on the age of the witnesses in the control population. The potential effect of age on the presence or absence of allelic imbalance of expression will be observed.

    Measured: blood sample at baseline, no follow-up in this study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing blood collection in people with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome, run by Centre Francois Baclesse at 6 sites in France.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 13 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France. 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 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?

estimate the proportion of patients with allelic imbalance at the level of expression of BRCA1 (time frame: blood sample at baseline, no follow-up in this study). 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 13 Jul 2012.
