Breast Neoplasms Clinical Trial
Official title:
The VAginal Microbiome as a BiomaRker of VagInal Health in Women With BreaSt CancEr (ARISE)
This study evaluates vaginal microbiome as a biomarker to improve vaginal and sexual health in women with breast cancer receiving endocrine therapy. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in United States women, aside from skin cancers. Endocrine therapy is standard treatment for 70% of invasive breast cancers, significantly affecting sexual health and often causing women to change their course of treatment or cease sexual activity. Changes in the vaginal microbiome, which is the collection of all microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that naturally live on and inside the body, are implicated in menopausal-related sexual health symptoms, but the vaginal microbiome (and associated immune responses) has not been explored as a biomarker for sexual health changes in hormone-related sexual health symptoms in breast cancer. A biomarker is a biological molecule found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues that is a sign of a normal or abnormal process, or of a condition or disease. Ribonucleic acid (RNA)-sequencing is a cost-effective method to analyze both human and microbial transcripts. The RNA that is sequenced from a standard biological sample such as a swab is a snapshot of the expression of many different cells and can be used to simultaneously measure the quantities of microbes, the overall expression of the human host, and the quantities of immune cells. Information gathered from this study may help researchers establish the vaginal microbiome as a biomarker and therapeutic target to improve the vaginal and sexual health of women with breast cancer receiving endocrine therapy.

Primary | Correlation of Lactobacillus to Prevotella Ratio (LPR) with vaginal dryness | The LPR will be calculated by aggregating the Lactobacillus genus counts and dividing by the aggregated Prevotella genus counts. The vaginal dryness (binary, Vaginal Assessment Scale score <= 2 versus > 2) will be related to the LPR (continuous) by logistic regression. Will use a two-sided Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test with Monte Carlo simulation. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, means, medians) and correlations will be used to describe sociodemographic factors, clinical factors, and patient reported outcomes. Parametric and nonparametric tests of difference will be used to compare variables. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year |
