About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Freezing Tumors in the Treatment of Breast Cancer Safety Study - 1-Probe CRYOcare Surgical System for Breast Tumor Ablation

RATIONALE: Cryosurgery kills cancer cells by freezing them. Cryosurgery followed by lumpectomy or mastectomy may be an effective treatment for breast lesions.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of cryosurgery in treating women who have breast lesions.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the feasibility of temperature-monitored, ultrasound-guided cryosurgery in women with highly suspicious breast lesions.
  • Determine the safety of this procedure in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo cryoablation of up to two breast lesions. Within 3-21 days, patients undergo lumpectomy or mastectomy.

Patients are followed at 1, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after lumpectomy or mastectomy.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 25 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing conventional surgery and cryosurgery in people with Breast Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 May 2013.
