Biomarkers, Breast Density And Risk Reduction Perspectives In BRCA Carriers


OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess the effects on the breast of treatment with the gonadotropin-releasing hormone
agonist (GnRHA)-based regimen in breast cancer (BRCA) gene mutation carriers, including
correlation of changes in mammographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) densities with
tissue morphometrics and biomarkers.

II. Evaluate perspectives about risk reduction options and impact on quality-of-life (QOL)
measures of participation in the chemopreventive protocol and in risk reduction surgery.

OUTLINE:

GROUP 1: Patients receive deslorelin, estradiol, and testosterone intranasally once daily
(QD) for 6 months. Patients then undergo planned risk reduction mastectomy.

GROUP 2: Patients receive deslorelin, estradiol, and testosterone intranasally QD for 10
months. Patients then undergo continued surveillance through 10 months.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 years.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients must generally be in good health with lab values and physical examination
within normal limits

- Known high risk of breast cancer due to BRCA mutation or empiric risk > 30% lifetime
by the Claus model

- No evidence or history of pervious cancer, except non-melanoma skin cancer

- Premenopausal women planning risk reduction mastectomy in 6 months or more (Group 1)
or continued surveillance (Group 2)

- Prior tubal ligation or willing to use a non-hormonal barrier method of contraception

- Signed the Informed Consent Form document for this study in accordance with all
Federal, State and Institutional regulations

- Must be current non-smoker

Exclusion Criteria:

- GnRHA treatment within 12 months of study entry

- Nasal polyposis, atrophic rhinitis, severe allergic or vasomotor rhinitis, or
sinusitis requiring current treatment or treatment for more than 3 months in the
previous year

- Concurrent medications including: corticosteroids (prednisone, prednisolone,
cortisone acetate, Decadron, Deltasone, hydrocortisone, Hydrocortone, Medrol),
estrogens, progestins or androgens, including oral, implanted, or injected
contraceptive; (At least 6 months must have elapsed since the last use of an
implanted or injected contraceptive such as Norplant)

- Pregnant or breast-feeding or have been so in the last six months

- Immeasurable breast density on mammogram
