BRCA-P - Clinical trial • Breast Cancer Foundation NZ

BRCA-P

Recruiting
Updated: January 30, 2020

BRCA-P is an international breast cancer prevention clinical trial open to women with a confirmed BRCA1 gene mutation who have not had a diagnosis of breast cancer.

The BRCA-P study will investigate if using Denosumab is a safe and effective way of preventing breast cancer.

Participants on BRCA-P will receive a study medication injection (Denosumab or placebo) every six months for five years. This study is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, which means participants, and their study doctor, will not know if they are receiving the Denosumab or placebo (a treatment that looks just like the active medication, but has no effect).

If you are a woman between 25 and 55, with a known BRCA1 gene mutation, no current or previous breast cancer diagnosis, and not planning to have, or have not already completed surgery to remove both breasts, this trial might be suitable for you.
