Ovarian steroids, as well as their synthetic counterparts gestagens and estrogens have a role in breast cell proliferation and the development of breast cancer. Here, the effect of a progesterone receptor modulator, mifepristone, on cell proliferation in human breast tissue in vivo will be studied in women with BRCA-1 or -2 mutations. Our preliminary results implicate a possible protective effect of mifepristone in breast epithelium. The ability of mifepristone to block breast epithelial cell proliferation may prevent tumorigenesis and may also prove beneficial when used for contraceptive purposes and on other indications. The proposed project concerns a Randomized Controlled Trial on mifepristone versus placebo treatment of women with BRCA-1or -2 mutations with a high risk/incidence of breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

Descripción

Objectives • Research objective To study the safety and effect of treatment with mifepristone, a progesterone receptor modulator, on epithelial cell proliferation in human breast tissue in women with BRCA-1 or -2 mutations prior to protective mastectomy.

Project description

• Hypothesis/ Theory Mifepristone treatment exerts an antiproliferative, protective effect on breast tissue in women with BRCA-1 or -2 mutations

Study Design Randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial. Women will be recruited among patients with BRCA-1 or -2 mutations scheduled for prophylactic mastectomy. Included women will be randomized to a 3-month treatment with mifepristone, 50 mg (Mifegyne, Exelgyn, Paris, France) or placebo taken orally every second day. Breast biopsies will be obtained in the luteal phase prior to start of treatment and again during surgery.

Medidas de resultado primarias

1. epithelial cell proliferation in breast tissue [3 months]

Changes from baseline after 12 weeks of mifepristone treatment in epithelial cell proliferation by measuring expression of genes specifically in the pathways involving apoptotic and cell proliferation by microarray study, including PTEN, Bcl-2 and Ki-67 along with steroid receptors.

Medidas de resultado secundarias

1. Vital signs and safety lab analysis [3 months]

Safety data includes vital signs, general- and gynecological-, incl breast - examinations, safety lab (hematology (blood status+CRP), kidney function (Na, K, krea) liver function (ASAT, ALAT, ALP, GT, bilirubin) , thyroid function (TSH,T3,T4), hormonal values FSH ,LH , PRL, SHBG, testosterone, E2 (sensitive) progesterone, urine dipstick and pregnancy test (prior to start). Endometrial histology will be investigated in biopsies obtained at baseline and at surgery. Women with BRCA-1/-2 mutations are followed according to the existing clinical routine with regard to ovarian cancer screening.

2. Side effects and Adverse Events [3 months]

Side effects of mifepristone are mild and the only significant side effect reported in previous clinical trials with the same regimen has been mild flushes. All side effects and SAE/AE as well as any concomitant medication will be recoded by the participating patients in a dairy.

3. Endometrial effects [3 months]

Bleeding patterns and endometrial morphologywill be studied. Endometrial histology and progesterone receptor modulator associated changes will be investigated in biopsies obtained at baseline and at surgery. Bleeding pattern will be registered during the study period by the participating women.

4. Ovarian effects [3 months]

Women with BRCA-1/-2 mutations are followed according to the existing clinical routine with regard to ovarian cancer screening.

5. Breast symptom evaluation [3months]

Breast symptom evaluation will be registered at baseline and during the study by a breast symptom score.
