Androcur® (Cyproterone Acetate) and Meningioma Development: a Genotype-environment Association Study

Study Purpose

The primary objective of the study is to create a biobank of oral smears permitting to identify the genetic locus/loci associated with an increased risk to develop meningiomas after cyproterone acetate (CPA) (Androcur®) treatment, using a GWAS approach. As the secondary objectives, the study aims:

  • - to evaluate the importance of the genetic susceptibility.
  • - to record the frequence of homonodependant cancers occuring in female patients with Androcur® associated meningioma and in their first-degree relatives.
  • - to describe clinical, radiological, histological characteristics of the patients who have developed meningioma after cyproterone acetate exposure.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04372095
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Meningioma
Additional Details

The increased risk to develop a meningioma has recently been established for patients received the cyproterone acetate. The investigators observed several familial cases of CPA related meningiomas which suggest a strong genetic factor modulating the risk to develop meningiomas in patients who exposed to CPA. The aim of this study is to generate a biobank permitting, in future studies, to identify the genetic locus/loci associated with an increased risk to develop meningiomas after CPA (Androcur®) treatment, using a GWAS approach. Enrollment of patients will occur at hospitals where the patients will be treated and also via social networking sites such as Facebook. There will be 4 groups of subjects. Five hundred patients will be enrolled in each group targeting 2000 patients in total, among which 1000 patients (Groupe 1 and Groupe 2) will participate in the biobank. Six centers in 5 university hospitals of APHP (Pitié-Salpêtrière, Ambroise Paré, Cochin, Lariboisière, Saint-Antoine) will be involved in the study. La duration of enrollment will be 24 months. The participation duration for each subject will be 1 hour. Statistics analysis method: SAS 9.1.3.
