AGE Levels in ER+ Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Endocrine Therapy

Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Drug: OPC
Registration Number
NCT03092635
Lead Sponsor
Medical University of South Carolina
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at the effects that the study drug (OPC) has on AGE levels in patients with ER+ metastatic breast cancer.

Detailed Description

AGEs are a type of metabolite, or substance, found in the food. The AGE content in food is determined by the types of food you eat and also how you prepare your food. The researchers helping conduct this study have found a potential link between AGE levels and cancer. The purpose of this study is to see if certain drug (OPC) has an effect on the AGE levels in your blood and to see if those AGE levels have an effect on your cancer.

OPCOPCDuring weeks 1- 12, subjects will take one OPC tablet in the morning and in the evening, about 12 hours apart.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AGE level reduction85 days

The primary objective is to determine if the test agents are able to reduce AGE levels by at least 30% in th 50% or more of test subjects.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Correlation between AGE level and A1C85 days

Changes in AGE levels and A1C will be described using graphs and other models.

Correlation between AGE level and plasma IL685 days

Changes in AGE levels and IL6 will be described using graphs and other models.

Correlation between AGE level and leptin85 days

Changes in AGE levels and leptin will be described using graphs and other models.

Correlation between AGE level and changes to BMI85 days

Changes in AGE levels and BMI will be described using graphs and other models.

Correlation between AGE level and c-reactive protein (CRP)85 days

Changes in AGE levels and CRP will be described using graphs and other models.

Correlation between AGE level and sRAGE (soluble receptor for AGE)85 days

Changes in AGE levels and sRAGE will be described using graphs and other models.

Frequency of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v. 485 days

Toxicities will be tabulated by type, grade and the visit at which they occurred.

Correlation between AGE level and quality of life85 days

Measured by FACT-B quality of life questionnaire

Correlation between AGE level and oxLDLs (low density lipoprotein)85 days

Changes in AGE levels and oxLDLs will be described using graphs and other models.

Correlation between AGE level and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)85 days

Changes in AGE levels and HOMA-IR will be described using graphs and other models.

Correlation between AGE level and lipids85 days

Changes in AGE levels and lipids will be described using graphs and other models.

Correlation between AGE level and diet85 days

Changes in AGE levels and diet will be described using graphs and other models. Diet will be assessed by using the NIH "Eating at America's Table Study Quick Food Scan" and the NCI "Quick Food Scan"

Correlation between AGE level and malondialdehyde (MDA)85 days

Changes in AGE levels and MDA will be described using graphs and other models.

Tumor response to treatment as assessed by RECIST 1.1 or MD Anderson criteria85 days

The anti-tumor response will be measured by comparing baseline and post-treatment imaging using RECIST 1.1 or MD Anderson criteria for bone only disease.
