Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial tests whether low-dose aspirin can affect markers of inflammation in postpartum (after childbirth) patients with benign breast disease planning to have a breast biopsy. Chronic inflammation may increase the risk of postpartum related breast cancer. Low-dose aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Giving low-dose aspirin may affect markers of inflammation in blood and tissue and may prevent postpartum related breast cancer.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Pre- versus (vs) post-intervention change in postpartum-related breast cancer (PRBC) score.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Pre- vs. post-intervention change in postpartum involution (PPI) signature score.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. Pre- vs. post-intervention change in percent of epithelial cells positive for COX-2, estrogen receptor (ER)/Ki67, gammaH2AX, and p16 in "normal" and in benign breast disease (BBD) lobule.

II. Pre- vs. post-intervention change in serum C-reactive protein (CRP), estrogens, insulin/insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), and adipokines.

III. Pre- vs. post-intervention changes in tissue and urine prostaglandins (PGs) and PGE2.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo standard of care breast biopsy for assessment of abnormalities seen on imaging, as well as collection of blood during screening. If cancer is found, patient is taken off study and treatment options are discussed with treating physician.

Patients without a cancer finding on biopsy then receive low-dose aspirin orally (PO) daily and undergo collection of blood on study. Patients may undergo ultrasound guided breast biopsy as clinically indicated.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Change in percent of epithelial cells positive for COX-2, estrogen receptor (ER)/Ki67, gammaH2AX, and p16 in "normal" and in benign breast disease (BBD) lobules	Will be calculated based on pre- and post-intervention for each person. Within person differences will be analyzed. The correlation between the change in PRBC score and change in PPI signature will be assessed using a Pearson correlation if both the scores are normally distributed. If either score is non-normally distributed, a Spearman correlation will be used instead. The correlation coefficient point estimate and 95% confidence interval will be reported.	Pre- vs. post-intervention up to 30 days
Other	Change in serum C-reactive protein (CRP), estrogens, insulin/insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), and adipokines	Will be measured pre- and post-intervention for each person. Within person differences will be analyzed. The correlation between the change in PRBC score and change in the respective serum measures will be assessed using a Pearson correlation if both the values are normally distributed. If either value is non-normally distributed, a Spearman correlation will be used instead. The correlation coefficient point estimate and 95% confidence interval will be reported.	Pre- vs. post-intervention up to 30 days
Other	Changes in tissue and urine prostaglandins (PGs) and PGE2	Will be measured pre- and post-intervention for each person. Within person differences will be analyzed. The correlation between the change in PRBC score and change in the respective PGs will be assessed using a Pearson correlation if both the values are normally distributed. If either value is non-normally distributed, a Spearman correlation will be used instead. The correlation coefficient point estimate and 95% confidence interval will be reported.	Pre- vs. post-intervention up to 30 days
Primary	Change in pregnancy-related breast cancer (PRBC) score	Will transform the biomarkers using Van der Waerden rank transformations. Will analyze data as within person differences for pre- versus post-treatment PRBC scores in tissues. The final mean difference in PRBC score point estimate and corresponding 95% confidence interval will be reported.	Pre- versus (vs) post-intervention up to 30 days
Secondary	Change in postpartum involution (PPI) signature score	Will be calculated pre- and post-intervention for each person. Within person differences will be analyzed. The correlation between the change in PRBC score and change in PPI signature will be assessed using a Pearson correlation if both the scores are normally distributed. If either score is non-normally distributed, a Spearman correlation will be used instead. The correlation coefficient point estimate and 95% confidence interval will be reported.	Pre- vs. post-intervention up to 30 days
