Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies how well docosahexaenoic acid works in preventing recurrence in breast cancer survivors. Docosahexaenoic acid supplement may prevent recurrence in breast cancer survivors.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To determine whether treatment with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for 12 weeks at 1000 mg twice daily as compared to placebo reduces normal breast tissue levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in overweight and obese patients with a history of stage I-III invasive breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), Paget's disease, lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), or proliferative benign breast disease.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To investigate the effect of DHA at 1000 mg twice daily on tissue biomarkers
  • Change from the baseline in cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)/interleukin-1-beta (IL-1beta)/aromatase measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

  • Change from the baseline in crown-like structures of the breast (CLS-B) measured by immunohistochemical techniques for cluster of differentiation (CD)68.

  • Change from baseline in CLS-B index determined as follows: ([number of slides with evidence of at least one CLS-B]/[total number of slides examined]).

  • Change from baseline in CLS-B/cm2 defined as the number of CLS-B/cm2. II. Evaluate age as a predictor of CLS-B and inflammatory biomarkers (TNF-alpha/COX-2/IL-1beta) at baseline and over the time of treatment.

  1. Evaluate red blood cell (RBC) fatty acid level as a surrogate of compliance.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive docosahexaenoic acid orally (PO) twice daily (BID) for 12 weeks.

ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO BID for 12 weeks.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Normal Breast Tissue Expression of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-alpha) Levels [Baseline to 12 weeks]

      Differences in normal breast tissue levels of TNF-α 12 weeks post-treatment relative to pre-treatment for active treatment and placebo arm, compared using analysis of covariance where the post-treatment measurements were used as a dependent variable and the pretreatment measurements were included as a covariate in the analysis. For the primary study end-point TNF-α levels will be measured by quantitative real-time PCR (mRNA essays) on extracted RNA from breast core biopsies. Relative expression determined using the Computed Tomography (ΔΔCT) analysis protocol.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With Crown-like Structures of the Breast (CLS-B) at Baseline and Post-treatment [Baseline to 12 weeks]

      An indicator of whether a subject is detected with CLS-B or not.

    2. Absolute Change in CLS-B/cm^2 Adjusted for the Pre-treatment Measurements [Baseline to 12 weeks]

      To assess the severity of CLS-B using the following formula: number of CLS-B/cm^2. The absolute change in the CLS-B/cm^2 calculated according to the formula; Change in CLS-B/cm^2 = (post-treatment CLS-B/cm^2) - (pre-treatment CLS-B/cm^2).

    3. Breast Tissue Cox 2 mRNA Levels at Baseline and 12 Weeks [Baseline to 12 weeks]

      Biomarkers COX-2 are measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Differences between active treatment and placebo arm for each biomarker will be compared using analysis of covariance where the post treatment measurements will be used as a dependent variable and the pretreatment measurements will be included as a covariate in the analysis.

    4. Mean Difference in the Breast Tissue IL- Beta mRNA Levels of Tissue Biomarkers [Baseline to 12 weeks]

      Biomarkers IL-1Beta are measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Differences between active treatment and placebo arm for each biomarker will be compared using analysis of covariance where the post treatment measurements will be used as a dependent variable and the pretreatment measurements will be included as a covariate in the analysis.

    5. Mean Difference in the Breast Tissue Aromatase mRNA Levels of Tissue Biomarkers [Baseline and 12 weeks]

      Biomarkers Aromatase are measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Differences between active treatment and placebo arm for each biomarker will be compared using analysis of covariance where the post treatment measurements will be used as a dependent variable and the pretreatment measurements will be included as a covariate in the analysis.

    6. Red Blood Cell (RBC) Fatty Acid Level as a Surrogate of Compliance [Baseline and week 12]

      Whole blood samples collected for red blood cell fatty acid analyses at baseline and week 12 (+ 2 weeks). RBC fatty acid composition analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detection.
