简要总结
This phase III trial evaluates how often women develop insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes and compares metformin with usual care to usual care alone in treating insulin resistance in women with stage I-III breast cancer after chemotherapy. Insulin resistance occurs when cells stop responding to insulin and is a risk factor for developing diabetes and heart disease. Higher levels of insulin have been shown to be associated with aggressive breast cancer. Metformin hydrochloride decreases the amount of glucose (a type of sugar) released into the bloodstream from the liver and increases the body's use of the glucose. Metformin as well as standard of care diet and exercise education is known to lower blood sugar. However, chemotherapy may accelerate metabolic disorders, such as high blood sugar, and the impact of metformin in these breast cancer survivors is not known. Giving metformin with usual care may be more effective than usual care alone in preventing or reversing insulin resistance in women with stage I-III breast cancer after chemotherapy.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine if extended release metformin hydrochloride (metformin) can normalize glycosylated hemoglobin (HgbA1c) (< 5.7%) for women breast cancer survivors with HgbA1c between 5.7-6.4%.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To investigate whether metformin treatment of insulin resistance (versus standard of care alone) alters epigenetic changes (chromatin acetylation, chromatin opening, and methylation) and the level of inflammatory cytokines. (Pilot) II. To investigate whether normalization of HgbA1c alters epigenetic changes (chromatin acetylation, chromatin opening, and methylation) and the level of inflammatory cytokines. (Pilot)
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

结局指标
主要结局
Hemoglobin A1c (Hgb A1c) normalization
时间窗: Up to 12 months
Will be defined as Hgb A1c \< 5.7%. Will be compared across groups (metformin + standard of care/usual medical care versus standard of care/usual medical care alone) using chi-square statistics. Data will be summarized using counts and percentages.
次要结局
- HgbA1c normalization(At 3, 6, 12 and 24 months)
