About this study

Official title: Hemostatic Profiles Associated With Use of Aromatase Inhibitors and Tamoxifen in Women With Breast Cancer : a Prospective Cohort Study

The aim of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the modifications of the biological hemostatic profile associated with the use of endocrine therapy in women with breast cancer (tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors).

Read the detailed description

In this cohort study, women with breast cancer and an indication for endocrine therapy will be prospectively enrolled. At the 1st visit (before the start of endocrine therapy (tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitor)) and at the 2nd visit (at ~3 months after the start of treatment), demographical / clinical data and blood samples will be collected. We will evaluate the hemostatic biological profiles associated with the use of endocrine therapy by comparing hemostatic biomarkers before and during its use.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in thrombin generation, including APC sensitivity ratio

    Measured: three months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in levels of coagulation factors

    Levels of the following coagulation factors will be measured and compared before and after use of endocrine treatments: antithrombin, protein C, protein S, D-dimer, fibrinogen, F VII, F VIII

    Measured: three months

  2. Change in fibrinolytic time

    Measured: three months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Neoplasms and Venous Thromboembolism, run by University Hospital, Geneva at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 0 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 9 Apr 2020. 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 Switzerland. 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 in thrombin generation, including APC sensitivity ratio (time frame: three months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03381963, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Apr 2020.
