Protocol for Women at Increased Risk of Developing Breast Cancer
- 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
Name Time Method Change in Percent of Breast Epithelial Cells Staining Positive for Ki-67 Baseline and 12 months Immunocytochemical staining of breast epithelial cells. Positive cells reflect proliferative activity.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Serum Estradiol Concentration Baseline to 12 months Change in serum estradiol concentration
Molecular Ratio of Serum Concentration of IGF-1 to IGFBP3 baseline to 12 months Change ion ratio.
Mammographic Breast Density Baseline 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) Concentration Baseline to 12 months Change in serum concentration
