About this study

The central goal of this study is to test strategies to implement evidence-based breast cancer risk assessment in healthcare clinics in Tennessee. The BRAVE Strategy (Breast cancer Risk Assessment - achieVing Equity) study aims to assess the feasibility, reach, acceptability, and appropriateness of select customized strategies to increase uptake of breast cancer risk assessment. The investigators will achieve these aims through a conducting a stepped-wedge trial conducted in 10 healthcare clinics in the state of Tennessee. The primary outcome is the proportion of women age 25-49 having risk assessment. Secondary outcomes include the numbers of 1) women identified as high-risk; 2) pursuing risk-adherent screening; and 3) diagnosed with breast cancer.

Being tested: Intervention plus 12 months maintenance, Intervention plus 10 months maintenance, Intervention plus 8 months maintenance, Intervention plus 6 months maintenance, Intervention plus 4 months maintenance

What is being measured

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

Number of Eligible Women Who Received Breast Cancer Risk Assessment
The number of women eligible for risk assessment who received documented breast cancer risk assessment.
Measured: Baseline (2-months prior to intervention) to 9 months post-intervention

Secondary outcomes (3)

Number of Women Who Received Risk Assessment Who Were Identified as High Risk for Breast Cancer.
Number of women who received risk assessment who were identified as high risk for breast cancer. Women are considered high risk if they have 20% or greater lifetime risk of breast cancer using the Tyrer Cuzick risk assessment tool. The Tyrer Cuzick risk assessment tool is an 11 question electronic risk assessment tool about a woman's family history of cancer and personal history to immediately calculate a lifetime risk percentage.
Measured: Baseline (2-months prior to intervention) to 9 months post-intervention
Number of Women Identified as High Risk Women Who Received Breast Cancer Screening.
Screening is defined as screening mammography or breast MRI. The number of women who received screening will be identified through from electronic health record review. For this measure, the denominator includes only those who were identified as high risk.
Measured: Baseline (2-months prior to intervention) to 9 months post-intervention
Number of Cancers Detected in Women Identified at High Risk.
Cancers will include invasive cancers and cancer in situ. Cancers will be identified from electronic health records. For this measure, the denominator includes only those who were identified as high risk.
Measured: Baseline (2-months prior to intervention) to 9 months post-intervention

Limitations and caveats (from the sponsor): We had significant difficulty enrolling community clinics during this trial due to the impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic and resulting limitations in clinic resources. We enrolled a single clinic. This clinic was in Arm 1 - (2 months control, 4 months intervention,12 months maintenance). Due to clinic limited resources, we were also limited to 9 months of data collection in the maintenance time period, rather than the full 12 months.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Aug 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Eligible Women Who Received Breast Cancer Risk Assessment (time frame: Baseline (2-months prior to intervention) to 9 months post-intervention). 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 NCT05051631.

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 28 Aug 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
