About this study

Official title: MRI Evaluation of Breast Tumor Growth and Treatment Response

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help diagnose breast cancer. It may also help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying breast MRI in women with known or suspected breast cancer and in healthy participants.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Develop and combine advanced, quantitative, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging methods (i.e., dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI [DCE-MRI], diffusion-weighted MRI [DW-MRI], and magnetic resonance spectroscopy [MRS]) to characterize breast tumors in women with known or suspected breast cancer.
  • Identify surrogate biomarkers that can guide diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer using these methods.
  • Correlate biochemical information obtained from magnetic resonance analysis with clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings in these patients.
  • Establish an imaging data bank that includes information on DCE-MRI, DW-MRI, and MRS findings in these patients and in healthy participants.

OUTLINE: Quantitative, multi-parametric magnetic imaging methods will be employed for breast imaging for the following subjects:

  • Group A: Healthy volunteers who undergo up to 3 breast MRIs over 6 weeks.
  • Group B: Patients diagnosed with breast cancer who will: 1) undergo preoperative breast MRI followed by definitive surgery or 2) undergo MRI prior to initiating neoadjuvant chemotherapy, at 1-2 weeks after initiation of chemotherapy, and prior to definitive surgery.

Clinical information, including radiologic and pathologic data, on all patients is collected for inclusion in the imaging data bank.

After completion of the study, patients and healthy participants are followed periodically.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of advanced, quantitative, multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for characterizing breast tumors to develop potential surrogate imaging markers for diagnosis and prediction of treatment response

    Quantitative, multi-parametric MRI imaging methods include Dynamic Contrast MRI, Diffusion Weighted MRI, and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. Patients will include healthy female volunteers and women diagnosed with breast cancer. Time frames begin at study entry (healthy volunteers) , pre-surgical and pre- and post-chemotherapy (breast cancer patients)

    Measured: on-study date and at 6 months, up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation of biochemical data obtained from magnetic resonance analysis with clinical, radiological, and pathological findings

    Biochemical data from advanced MRIs are compared and contrasted with findings from patients' clinical, chemotherapeutic, and radiologic treatments for breast cancer.

    Measured: at 6 months

  2. Establishment of an imaging data bank

    Results of advanced MRI imaging methods for subjects assessed after completion of all MRI procedures

    Measured: at 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging in people with Breast Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 6 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 27 Nov 2023. 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.

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?

Feasibility of advanced, quantitative, multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for characterizing breast tumors to develop potential surrogate imaging markers for diagnosis and prediction of treatment response (time frame: on-study date and at 6 months, up to 4 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 NCT00474604, 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 27 Nov 2023.
