Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Average Change in the Longest Diameter of the Breast MRI Target Lesion
Immediately preceding study drug treatment and again after treatment prior to surgery. The total time interval was up to 8 weeks

One of the primary outcomes of this study was to measure the impact of weekly chloroquine on the amount of DCIS seen on MRI.The tumor response was evaluated by RECIST criteria. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR The longest diameter of the target lesion or primary area of non-mass enhancement was measured by digital calipers. For one patient, the longest diameter was difficult to measure due to the presence of a significant post biopsy resolving hematoma at the biopsy site. Further correlation was made based on the extent of the pre-treatment microcalcifications and post treatment areas of non-mass enhancement.

Secondary Endpoints

Total Number of Treatment-Related Adverse Events
The patients were monitored from the time of diagnosis through 6 months of surgical follow up.
Effect of Chloroquine on Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) Proliferation Index
At the time of breast biopsy and again at time of surgery.
Impact of Chloroquine Treatment on the Cell Signaling Kinase Levels in DCIS Lesions.

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Chloroquine Standard Dose (500mg/week)EXPERIMENTALPatients with ER+ or ER- DCIS regardless of histologic grade will be randomly assigned to receive one month standard dose chloroquine (500 mg/week).
Chloroquine Low Dose (250mg/week)EXPERIMENTALPatients with ER+ or ER- DCIS regardless of histologic grade will be randomly assigned to receive one month low dose chloroquine (250mg/week).

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
Chloroquine Standard Dose (500mg/week)DRUGPatients will receive chloroquine (500 mg/once a week) for 1 month prior to surgical removal of the DCIS lesion.
Chloroquine Low Dose (250mg/week)DRUGPatients will receive chloroquine (250 mg/once a week) for 1 month prior to surgical removal of the DCIS lesion.
Breast BiopsyPROCEDUREPatients diagnosed with DCIS will undergo a breast biopsy prior to the start of study treatment. This biopsy is entirely voluntary and is not required to remain in the study. The biopsy will allow researchers to study the tissue for biomarkers and to determine how the DCIS tissue changes during treatment. Additional samples of the DCIS tissue will be collected at the time of surgery.
