Prospective Research of Outcomes After Salpingo-oophorectomy

Completed
Conditions
BRCA1 Gene Mutation
BRCA2 Gene Mutation
Registration Number
NCT01948609
Lead Sponsor
University of California, San Francisco
Brief Summary

PROSper is a prospective cohort study of 100 women 35-50 years of age with BRCA 1/2 mutations who have elected to either undergo risk reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) or nonsurgical management. The investigators will compare the change in cardiovascular health, bone health, sexual function, quality of life, and menopausal symptoms over 3 years of follow-up between women who undergo RRSO (baseline just prior to surgery) and age-matched controls that do not undergo RRSO.

The investigators hypothesis is that women who undergo a premature surgical menopause induced by RRSO have worse cardiovascular health and bone health compared with women who do not undergo RRSO.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline in risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis at 36 months.Baseline to 36 Months

We will use dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan results and Intima-media thickness of the carotid artery (IMT) testing to assess changes in bone mineral density and carotid artery intima media thickness, respectively.

Change in baseline sexual functioning and quality of life at 36 months.Baseline to 36 Months

We will use standard questionnaires to assess changes in overall quality of life and sexual function.
