About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of breast MRI in detecting breast malignancies in survivors of Hodgkin's disease is more successful than the traditional mammogram.

Read the detailed description
  • The screening breast MRI and mammography will be performed 6 months or longer after the last mammogram. For pre-menopausal women, the screening will be performed during the second week of the menstrual cycle to reduce cycle-related breast changes. As much as possible, the breast MRI and mammogram are to be performed on the same day.
  • On the day of the breast imaging studies, the patient will also be asked to fill out a baseline breast health questionnaire, which includes questions on time since radiation therapy, prior screening history, history of prior benign breast biopsies, menopausal status, prior hormonal therapy use, etc.
  • In patients with suspicious findings or findings highly suggestive of malignancy, the abnormal findings will be reviewed with the patient and recommendations will be made for a biopsy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • breast MRIProcedure or surgery

    Repeated once a year for three years

  • MammogramProcedure or surgery

    Repeated once a year for three years

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of mammography and breast MRI for breast cancer detection in women treated for Hodgkin's disease.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To describe the MRI appearance and enhancing characteristics of breast cancer after Hodgkin's disease

    Measured: 5 years

  2. to correlate the breast MRI findings and pathological findings

    Measured: 5 years

  3. to determine the incidence of interval breast cancer in the screened population.

    Measured: 5 years

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of mammography and breast MRI for breast cancer detection in women treated for Hodgkin's disease. (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00165412, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
