Abstract PD2-14: Participation in a personalized breast cancer screening trial does not increase anxiety at baseline

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to examine whether participation in a personalized screening trial is associated with anxiety or breast cancer worry. The Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute recently funded WISDOM (Women Informed to Screen Depending On Measures of risk), which is a randomized trial that tests the safety and efficacy of basing starting age, stopping age, frequency and modality of breast cancer screening on individual risk (Clinical Trials Identifier NCT02620852).

Methods: In WISDOM, participants can be randomized to annual screening or personalized screening arm, or self-select an arm an observational cohort. This interim analysis examined the first 1817 participants to determine if the personalized risk arm is acceptable and to explore whether baseline anxiety was associated with study arm. For acceptability our target was to have >60% of participants agree to randomization. Participants completed questions about their Risk Perception, the PROMIS Anxiety short form 8a (total scores 8-40 with higher scores indicating more anxiety), and Breast Cancer Risk Worry (BCRW) survey (total scores 5-20) with higher scores indicating more worry) at baseline and before they were given information on their personal risk or study assignment. For the purposes of these analyses, we defined high anxiety to be the percentage of participants scoring =>22 on the PROMIS and >8 on the BCRW.

Results: The participants were recruited from three sites (UCSD, UCSF, Sanford Health). Of the 1817 initial participants, 1643 completed the baseline questionnaire. Participants has a mean age of 57 years (SD 9). 15.8% felt their chances of developing breast cancer was high, 19.5% felt their chance of developing breast cancer was greater than the average women, and 56.6% felt their lifetime risk of developing breast cancer was >25. Risk perception was not significantly different between women who opted to be randomized versus the observational arm.

The majority of participants were willing to be randomly assigned to an arm (1071/1643, 65.1%). Of those who joined the observational cohort, the majority selected personalized risk arm (474/572, 82.9%). Overall, PROMIS anxiety scores were low at baseline (14.0 MEAN (SD 4.6)) as were the Breast Cancer Risk Worry scores (5.7 MEAN (SD 1.05)). Less than 8% of participants had PROMIS scores >22 and that did not vary across the randomized or observational groups (P=0.2)). About 2% of participants had a BCRW scores >8. Women who worried with breast cancer were more likely to select to be in the observational (3.5%) than randomized (1.7%) arm of the study (P=0.02).

Conclusions: For the women approached to participate in Wisdom, personalized screening was acceptable alternative to annual mammography. Participants in general overestimated their lifetime risk of breast cancer, had very low anxiety and low breast cancer worry. Those who were worried about breast cancer opted more often for the observational arm of the study to allow them to choose between the personalized versus annual arm. Future analyses will follow participants prospectively to determine adherence to assigned or selected arm, and whether anxiety changes after receipt of their personalized risk information.

Abstract OT3-03-01: Preference-Tolerant randomized trial of risk-based vs. annual breast cancer screening: WISDOM study in progress

Purpose: Women Informed to Screen Depending on Measures of risk (WISDOM) trial is a pragmatic study comparing two real world approaches to clinical care for breast screening: annual screening versus personalized screening. The novelty of the personalized arm of the study is that we are combining known risk factors (age, family history, history of breast disease, ethnicity, BIRADS breast density, and genetics) into a single risk assessment model. All components of the model have been tested and established, but have never been used jointly.

The goal of the WISDOM study is to examine the effectiveness of personalized breast cancer screening and to bring objective recommendations to the current mammography screening debate.

Methods: The WISDOM trial will enroll 100,000 women with a preference-tolerant design that will determine if risk-based screening vs. annual screening, is as safe, less morbid, enables prevention, and is preferred by women. Women 40 - 74 years of age with no history of breast cancer or DCIS, and no previous double mastectomy can join the study from the WISDOM Study website (wisdomstudy.org). All participants sign up, elect randomization or self-select the study arm, provide electronic consent using DocuSign (eConsent), and sign a Medical Release Form. For all participants, 5-year risk of developing breast cancer is calculated according to the Breast Cancer Screening Consortium (BCSC) model. For participants in the personalized arm, the overall 5-year risk BCSC score is combined with a Polygenic Risk Score, based on a genetic test including mutations in 9 genes (BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, PTEN, STK11, CDH1, ATM, PALB2, and CHEK2) and a panel of 75 common single nucleotide polymorphisms known to increase breast cancer risk. Risk stratification will determine frequency of screening. The study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT02620852.

Results: As of June 12th 2017, the WISDOM study is live at all UC medical centers and recruitment is open to all eligible women in California. Up to date 4,769 eligible women registered at all sites. 2,823 women have consented in the trial. 64% were randomized and 36% chose their screening arm. A pilot was conducted to test the logistics of online participation and examine the acceptance of the study design and approach. We are partnering with health insurance companies and self-insured companies to reach our recruitment goal.

Conclusions: Enrollment will be completed by end of 2018.

Abstract P5-02-03: Evaluating the feasibility of a web-based preference-tolerant randomized trial of risk-based vs. annual breast cancer screening: WISDOM study pilot

Background: The WISDOM Study (Women Informed to Screen Depending on Measures of risk) aims to examine the effectiveness of personalized breast cancer screening and to bring objective recommendations to the current mammography screening debate. The WISDOM Study is a 100,000 woman randomized trial with a preference-tolerant design that will determine if risk-based screening (RBS) vs. annual screening, is as safe, less morbid, enables prevention and is preferred by women. A pilot was conducted to test the logistics of online participation and examine the acceptance of the study design and approach.

Methods: Women were recruited from the UCSF site of the Athena Breast Health Network, a clinical care-research cohort of 110,000 women from the 5 University of California Medical Centers and Sanford Health. The pilot recruited women via email who were 40 -74 years of age with no history of breast cancer and a normal mammogram in the past year. Those interested visited the WISDOM Study website (wisdomstudy.org), signed up, elected randomization or self-selection, provided electronic consent using DocuSign (eConsent), and completed genetic testing (RBS arm). The Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) model (standard risk factors, ethnicity, and breast density) in addition to genetic testing (9 genes and 75 SNPs) was used to calculate breast cancer risks that informed the start and frequency of screening for women in the RBS arm. BCSC was also used in the annual screening arm but did not inform mammography screening recommendations. The pilot used a mixed method approach (using enrollment data, Exit Survey data, individual interviews and focus groups) to assess enrollment preferences, randomization acceptance and overall study workflow.

Results: The online electronic enrollment process and patient engagement portal was successfully implemented. In total, 639 women were invited, 235 registered (34%), and 171 (27%) consented to the pilot. Of these, 74% (127) elected to be randomized, and 26% chose to self-assign (66% chose annual screening (29)). Mean age was 56 years and the ethnic breakdown of the cohort was: 79% White, 10% Asian, 7% Latino, 3% Black, 1% other. 92% of those in the risk-based arm of the study completed genetic testing and were given results; only one genetic mutation was identified and occurred in CHEK2. Within the RBS arm (78), mammography recommendations were: 61% no further mammography until the age of 50, 22% biennial, 11% annual, and 6% every 6 month alternating MRI and mammogram. Exit Survey data illuminated confusion in study arm names (risk-based vs. annual), randomization acceptance (74%), annual arm preference in the self-selection group (66%), eConsent satisfaction (90%), enrollment process ease of use (88%), and website content, navigation and appearance satisfaction (66%). The pilot concluded in May 2016 to allow for refinements prior to the full trial.

Conclusion: Our pilot demonstrates that the majority of women are willing to be randomized and participate in an online screening study to answer the important question on optimal breast cancer screening. The pilot study results will inform implementation of the 100,000 women WISDOM Study which launches in fall of 2016.
