NCT02352883

Brief Summary

This clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and gene expression in diagnosing patients with abnormal cells in the breast duct that have not spread outside the duct. MRI uses radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. MRI may help find and diagnose patients with breast cancer. It may also help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. Genetic studies may help doctors predict the outcome of treatment and the risk for disease recurrence. Performing MRI with genetic studies may help determine the best treatment for patients with breast cancer in situ.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Proportion of patients judged to be breast conservation candidates based upon standard imaging and physical examination who convert to mastectomy in step 1 based on MRI findings

    After MRI (within 30 days following study entry), and prior to surgery

  • Proportion of patients judged to be breast conservation candidates based upon standard imaging and physical examination who have a mastectomy as the final surgical procedure in step 2

    Up to 12 months post-op

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Factors associated with DCIS score

    After surgery (DCIS Score is determined from surgical specimen)

  • Diagnostic accuracy of MRI in extent of disease evaluation in patients with DCIS

    Up to 12 months post-op

  • Proportion of patients who require re-operation because of inadequate excision after MRI

    Up to 12 months post-op

  • Proportion of patients who proceed to mastectomy after an initial attempt at wide local excision because of either inadequate tumor-free margins (< 2mm), or other reasons

    Up to 12 months post-op

  • IBE rate

    At 5 years

  • +9 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (5)

Arm A (MRI)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo MRI prior to surgery. Patients undergo additional imaging and/or biopsies if indicated based on MRI.

Procedure: Magnetic Resonance ImagingOther: Quality-of-Life AssessmentOther: Laboratory Biomarker AnalysisOther: Cytology Specimen Collection Procedure

Arm B (mastectomy)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo a mastectomy. Patients do not register for Step 3.

Procedure: Therapeutic Conventional SurgeryOther: Quality-of-Life AssessmentOther: Laboratory Biomarker AnalysisOther: Cytology Specimen Collection Procedure

Arm C (wide local excision)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo wide local excision +/- re-excision. Patients may cross-over to Arm B if mastectomy is indicated. Tissue samples collected during surgery are used to calculate the DCIS score using genetic analysis testing. Patients may then proceed to Step 3.

Arm D (endocrine therapy)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo endocrine therapy as directed.

Drug: Endocrine TherapyOther: Quality-of-Life AssessmentOther: Laboratory Biomarker AnalysisOther: Cytology Specimen Collection Procedure

  • Patients will be staged prior to registration according to the clinical staging criteria adapted from the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Cancer Staging Data Forms of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 7th Edition, 2009; Note: For consistency purposes, AJCC 7th Edition will continue to be used throughout the entire study enrollment period
  • Required studies include a bilateral screening mammogram within 6 months and diagnostic mammogram of the affected breast within 3 months prior to registration
  • Patients must not have previous ipsilateral invasive breast cancer or DCIS
  • Patients must not have known deleterious mutations in breast cancer (BRCA) genes
  • Patients must not have received hormonal therapy (i.e., tamoxifen, raloxifene, and/or aromatase inhibitors) for prevention of breast cancer within 3 months of the biopsy documenting DCIS
  • Patients must not have history of chemotherapy for cancer within 6 months prior to registration
  • No prior history of breast radiotherapy that will prevent the use of radiotherapy for the present DCIS
  • No history of untreatable claustrophobia;
  • No presence of metallic objects or implanted medical devices in body (i.e., cardiac pacemaker, aneurysm clips, surgical clips, prostheses, artificial hearts, valves with steel parts, metal fragments, shrapnel, tattoos near the eye, or steel implants);
  • No history of sickle cell disease;
  • No contraindication to intravenous contrast administration;
  • No known allergy-like reaction to gadolinium or moderate or severe allergic reactions to one or more allergens as defined by the American College of Radiology (ACR); patient may be eligible if willing to undergo pre-treatment as defined by the institution's policy and/or ACR guidance;
  • No findings consistent with renal failure, as determined by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 based on a serum creatinine level obtained within 28 days prior to registration;
  • +14 more criteria
