Trial summary

Weight variation has been reported as a side effect of chemotherapy treatment in early breast cancer patients. To date, there is growing evidence for an increased risk of relapse and death in these patients who gain or lose weight. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Weight Variation and Mechanisms Involved, During Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer Patients

Weight variation has been reported as a side effect of chemotherapy treatment in early breast cancer patients. To date, there is growing evidence for an increased risk of relapse and death in these patients who gain or lose weight. However, causes of weight variation during chemotherapy and mechanisms involved in the poor prognosis have been little studied.

Thus, the investigators are conducting a prospective study to characterize weight variation in terms of body composition and to identify the mechanisms involved.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in body composition

    Measured: within 2 weeks before chemotherapy; 1month after the last chemotherapy; and 6 months later.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change from baseline in energy balance

    resting energy expenditure, physical activity, food records.

    Measured: within 2 weeks before chemotherapy; 1month after the last chemotherapy; and 6 months later.

  2. Change from baseline in muscle strength

    Measured: within 2 weeks before chemotherapy; 1month after the last chemotherapy; and 6 months later.

  3. Change from baseline in biological factors (hormonal, inflammatory, lipid, growth factors)

    Measured: within 2 weeks before chemotherapy; 1month after the last chemotherapy; and 6 months later.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing blood test/ additional measurement in people with Breast Cancer, run by Centre Jean Perrin at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 24 Jul 2015. 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 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.

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?

Change from baseline in body composition (time frame: within 2 weeks before chemotherapy; 1month after the last chemotherapy; and 6 months later.). 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 24 Jul 2015.
