Trial summary

Primary Objective: To perform a prospective study to determine if there is a different in the marker clip migration if the first post-biopsy mammogram was performed in the same projection as the core biopsy versus in the orthogonal projection. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect on Clip Markers Migration After Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy by Postprocedure Mammogram

Primary Objective:

  • To perform a prospective study to determine if there is a different in the marker clip migration if the first post-biopsy mammogram was performed in the same projection as the core biopsy versus in the orthogonal projection.
Read the detailed description

You are scheduled to have a biopsy because a lesion was seen on your mammogram. Sometimes, the lesion is completely removed during the biopsy. Therefore, a clip is usually placed to mark the biopsy site. If some of the tissue in this area needs to be removed by a surgeon at a later date, the clip will mark the area for your surgeon to remove.

All participants in this study will already be scheduled for a stereotactic biopsy with clip placement followed by a mammogram, as a part of the standard of care. You will need to sign a separate consent document for these procedures.

Before you can start treatment on this study, you will have "screening tests." These tests will help the doctor decide if you are eligible to take part in this study. Blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn for routine tests. Women who are able to have children must have a negative blood (about 1 teaspoon) pregnancy test before they can take part in this study.

If you are eligible and you choose to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the toss of a coin) to one of two study groups. There will be an equal chance of being assigned to either group.

If you are assigned to Group 1, your breast will be compressed the same way as the breast was compressed during the biopsy in the first mammogram picture. In the second picture, your breast will be compressed the opposite way (a 90-degree rotation) from the way the first picture was done.

If you are assigned to Group 2, your breast will be compressed in a 90-degree rotation from the way the breast was compressed during your biopsy in the first mammogram picture. In the second picture, your breast will be compressed the same way as during the biopsy.

A researcher will review the mammogram to measure and record the distance of the biopsy clip from the biopsied lesion.

If your biopsy is benign (non-cancerous), you will return to the clinic for a mammogram once a year, as is standard of care. Researchers would like to review the mammogram that is taken 1 year after the biopsy in order to check to see if the clip has moved or stayed in the same place.

This is an investigational study. The clip used in this study is FDA approved. Up to 60 patients will take part in the study. All will be enrolled at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Breast Biopsy and Post Procedure Mammogram in people with Breast Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 30 Jul 2012. 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?

Distance Traveled by Breast Clip (time frame: Pre-biopsy and post-biopsy mammograms, and follow up 1 year post biopsy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 Jul 2012.
