MicroRNA (miRNA) is a type of endogenous non-coding RNA. They are responsible for post-transcriptional regulation and participate in many vital biological processes. Expression profiling has shown that miRNAs can distinguish between normal breast and tumor tissues. In recent years, circulating miRNAs have become promising biomarkers based on their stability and their non-invasive testing and feasibility in clinical practices.
Current reports showed that serum microRNA expression could be used as an early marker for determining the breast cancer risk. The concentrations of some circulating microRNAs in human breast cancer have been correlated with tumor development and progression. Aberrant miRNA expression may be involved in drug resistance to various chemotherapeutic agents in breast cancer. Therefore, we hope to investigate the value of miRNAs in predicting the effect in breast cancer neoadjuvant treatment.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Sensitive group was defined ad complete response (CR) and/or partial response (PR). Blood samples for microRNA were collected before neoadjuvant chemotherapy, evaluation of clinical disease response and surgery.
Genetic: microRNA
Resistant group was defined ad progression disease (PD) and/or stable disease (SD). Blood samples for microRNA were collected before neoadjuvant chemotherapy, evaluation of clinical disease response and surgery.
Genetic: microRNA
The level of microRNA in plasma will be detected by TaqMan in screening phase and by quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in validation phase.
Objective Response
Clinical disease response was evaluated for every two cycles of chemotherapy till surgery with RECIST criteria (RECIST 1.1). Resistant group was defined ad progression disease (PD) and/or stable disease (SD).Evaluation in breast lesions by MRI or mammography. The same imaging methods were used throughout treatment for a given patient.

Time frame: Every 2 cycles, up to surgery (each cycle is 21 days)

Started Nov 2015 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2019, 46 months after the start.
Of 1,191 non-industry observational studies under Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 58 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 25 and three quarters within 139. This study's planned 46 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,380 studies reached it within 55 months; a quarter within 25 and three quarters within 126.
