Effect of (neo)Adjuvant Therapy on Lipids in Young Breast Cancer Patients

February 12, 2025 updated by: PENG YUAN, Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences

A Multicentre Prospective Cohort Study: Effect of (neo)Adjuvant Therapy on Lipids in Young Breast Cancer Patients

Previous studies have shown differences in the effects of different endocrine drugs on blood lipids in breast cancer, and dyslipidaemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and it has been previously reported that the leading cause of death in postmenopausal patients with breast cancer is cardiovascular disease, but the effects of endocrine drug therapy on blood lipids in young breast cancer patients (age ≤40) are not clear. Previously, our group conducted a preliminary retrospective analysis of young patients on endocrine therapy and found that dyslipidaemia was also a common adverse effect of treatment in young breast cancer patients; therefore, dyslipidaemia induced by antineoplastic therapy not only occurs in postmenopausal patients, but is also prevalent in premenopausal and even younger patients. Therefore, this study intends to evaluate the effects of different treatment regimens on lipids in early-stage young breast cancer patients and to explore the optimal timing of lipid-lowering drug interventions to provide a basis for clinical practice.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of patients who developed LDL-C abnormalities in 3 groups
Time Frame: 2 years
Observe and compare differences between groups
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of patients who developed TC，LDL-C，and TG abnormalities in 3 groups
Time Frame: 2 years
Observe and compare differences between groups
2 years
Proportion of patients developing fatty liver in 3 groups
Time Frame: 2 years
Observe and compare differences between groups

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
May 6, 2024

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
