Effect of Genetic and Epigenetic Factors on the Clinical Response and Toxicity to Doxorubicin Among Egyptian Breast Cancer Patients
Egypt200 participantsStarted 2020-08-01
Plain-language summary
Recent advances in technologies, such as microarray and high-throughput sequencing, represented a deeper understanding of molecular biology, especially noncoding RNA (ncRNA). It was found that there are only \<2 % of the total genome sequence as protein-coding genes while at least 98 % of the genome are transcribed into ncRNA. In the past, non-protein-coding RNAs were known as "transcription noise," but now it is obvious that ncRNAs play a crucial regulatory role in cell differentiation and organism growth and metabolism.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Metastatic and localized breast cancer patients treated with Doxorubicin among chemotherapeutic protocol.
* Measurable disease.
* Age of 18 years to 80 years.
* The women of childbearing age must use an effective contraception for the duration of the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Breast cancer patients who had undergone radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
* Pregnant and lactating females.
* History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to chemotherapeutic agents used.
* Any other medical or psychiatric condition or severe or chronic laboratory abnormality making the inclusion of the patient in the study inappropriate in the opinion of the investigator.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
