PIONEER Study of Lifestyle Intervention to Reduced Breast Cancer Risk
- Conditions
- Lifestyle Risk ReductionBreast Cancer
- Interventions
- Behavioral: Lifestyle intervention to reduce breast cancer risk
- Registration Number
- NCT04574063
- Lead Sponsor
- Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust
- Brief Summary
A randomised controlled trial in which women discharged from the symptomatic breast clinic, who are above population risk (according to Tyrer Cuzick) will be asked to create lifestyle related goals. They will be told their estimated risk of developing breast cancer and will be randomised to one of three interventions:
* Breast cancer risk leaflet only
* lifestyle website
* lifestyle website plus group coaching.
Fifty per cent of women will also be randomised to have Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) performed, and these will be incorporated into their risk score.
The primary end point will be whether or not women achieve their lifestyle goal.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Goal achievement Women will be asked this 12 months after entering the study Whether women have achieved their lifestyle goals. Proportion answering "yes" to a binary question: Did you achieve the goal you set? Compared between the three arms.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To assess the acceptability of randomisation to different arms of intervention Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study, estimated 15 months from start date Attrition rate after randomisation within each group
To assess the impact of SNP testing on changes in behavioural risk factors Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date Goal achievement in SNP group compared with goal achievement in non-SNP group.
To assess the impact of the different interventions on changes in behavioural risk factors Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date Goal achievement compared between leaflet only group, website group and website + coaching group.
To identify whether there is an association between initial Cancer Worry Scale (Revised) score and change in behavioural risk factors Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date Cancer Worry score compared with goal achievement. Cancer Worry score is between 8 and 32 with 32 being the highest level of anxiety.
To assess the acceptability of women to find out their personalised breast cancer risk and to commit to making a change in a modifiable risk factor Measured when recruitment is complete, estimated at 3 months from start date Proportion of women approached who go on to join the study
To assess the impact of knowledge of breast cancer risk on cancer anxiety scores Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date Change in Cancer Worry Scale (Revised) score from 0 to 3 months. Cancer Worry score is measured between 8 and 32 with 32 being the highest level of anxiety.
To identify whether commitment to a study of this design is sustainable and affected by study group Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date Participant retention rate.
To assess the impact of the different interventions on uptake and adherence to chemoprevention at 1 year Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date Proportion of women still taking chemoprevention at close of study compared between the three arms.
To consider the scalability of each element of the pilot study Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date Administration time required for each group; Average goal achievement compared to average cost of each intervention.
