Protocol for Women at Increased Risk of Developing Breast Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Other: placebo
Registration Number
NCT00291694
Lead Sponsor
Carol Fabian, MD
Brief Summary

To assess the effects of twelve months of celecoxib administration by evaluating breast tissue needle aspirations, to determine if cell growth can be slowed.

Detailed Description

A blind randomized study of celecoxib in women at high risk of developing breast cancer. Subjects are to take twelve months of drug/placebo. At baseline and after twelve months subjects will have a random periareolar fine needle breast aspiration that will be assessed for epithelial cell growth and other markers of risk. Baseline and twelve month serum samples will also be assessed for hormones and growth factors which may be associated with breast cancer risk. Mammograms at baseline and twelve months will also be assessed for breast density changes.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Percent of Breast Epithelial Cells Staining Positive for Ki-67Baseline and 12 months

Immunocytochemical staining of breast epithelial cells. Positive cells reflect proliferative activity.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Serum Estradiol ConcentrationBaseline to 12 months

Change in serum estradiol concentration

Molecular Ratio of Serum Concentration of IGF-1 to IGFBP3baseline to 12 months

Change ion ratio.

Mammographic Breast DensityBaseline and 12 months

The percent of mammographic breast area that is considered to be at increased density. Evaluated using the semi-automated computer program Cumulus.

Serum Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) ConcentrationBaseline to 12 months

Change in serum concentration
