Clinical Trial Summary

The aim is to investigate if soy isoflavones and lignans affect markers of disease progression and gene expression among breast cancer patients receiving neo-adjuvant treatment in a three arm, double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled trial (RCT) comparing: soy isoflavone supplementation, lignan supplementation, and placebo.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Fecal microbiome:	The microbial community composition will be characterized using the 16sRNA method (Illumina MiSeq Platform).	Change measured in first fecal sample (shortly after diagnosis) to second fecal sample (close to time of surgery). Approx. four months (neo-adjuvant setting)
Primary	Ki-67	Ki-67 can be measured using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and using the transcript from gene expression data (see secondary outcomes). As the latter is superior and less biased, the Ki-67 based on the transcript will be used as primary measure of Ki67.	Change from baseline (diagnosis of breast cancer) to end-of-study (surgery): Approx. four months (neo-adjuvant setting)
Secondary	Apoptosis marker caspase-3		Change from baseline (diagnosis of breast cancer) to end-of-study (surgery): Approx. four months (neo-adjuvant setting)
Secondary	Proliferation Index	Based on expression data from 79 genes encoding proliferative and cell cycle markers. Gene expression will be analyzed using a microarray (GeneChip® Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array, Affymetrix, USA)	Change from baseline (diagnosis of breast cancer) to end-of-study (surgery): Approx. four months (neo-adjuvant setting)
Secondary	Patient reported outcomes	Well-being	Change for completion of first questionnaire (shortly after diagnosis) to second questionnaire (close to time of surgery). Approx. four months (neo-adjuvant setting)
