About this study

Official title: A Prospective Evaluation of Computer Aided Detection (CAD) in the NHS Breast Screening Programme [CADET II]

RATIONALE: A computer-aided detection program may help doctors find breast cancer sooner, when it may be easier to treat, in women undergoing screening mammography.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well computer-aided breast cancer detection works in women undergoing screening mammography.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare, prospectively, the breast cancer detection rate and recall rate of single reading using computer-aided detection vs standard double reading in women undergoing screening mammography.

OUTLINE: This is a prospective, randomized, multicenter study. Participants are randomized to 1 of 3 screening arms.

  • Arm I (double reading): Screening mammograms are independently reviewed by two readers (i.e., radiologist or radiographer), each of whom reports on any abnormalities and decides whether a participant is recalled for further assessment or returned home to routine screening. In the event there is disagreement between the readers' findings, a third reader acts as an arbitrator by rendering an interpretation of the mammogram and making the final decision to recall the participant or return to routine screening.
  • Arm II (single reading with computer-aided detection [CAD]): Screening mammograms are reviewed initially by a single reader who reports on any abnormalities. The reader then re-examines the mammogram with the aid of CAD, a system that uses computer prompts to recall suspicious features or abnormalities that may have been overlooked or previously dismissed as being normal. Based on these evaluations, a recommendation is made by the reader to either recall the participant for further assessment or return home to routine screening. If there is a discrepancy between the reader's interpretation and the CAD findings, another reader may be consulted to review the mammogram.
  • Arm III (double reading followed by single reading with CAD): Screening mammograms are reviewed by double reading as in arm I followed by single reading with CAD as in arm II.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing breast imaging study, comparison of screening methods and radiomammography in people with Breast Cancer, run by Aberdeen Royal Infirmary at 4 sites in United Kingdom.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

Breast cancer detection rate. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00450359, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 2 Aug 2013.
