Trial summary

Approximately twelve percent of the women in the United States will develop breast cancer, the most common form of cancer affecting women, with 183,000 new cases projected for 1995. Despite the increasing incidence, the age-adjusted death rate from carcinoma has remained relatively stable. Read more about this study

About this study

Approximately twelve percent of the women in the United States will develop breast cancer, the most common form of cancer affecting women, with 183,000 new cases projected for 1995. Despite the increasing incidence, the age-adjusted death rate from carcinoma has remained relatively stable. Although the reason for this has not yet been demonstrated, this stability may be a direct consequence of early detection and improved therapy. Screening mammography as an early detection technique has been shown to reduce mortality by 23%. Mammographic abnormalities that go on to biopsy show 24% being positive for malignancy with great variability (6-75%). Breast biopsy is an expensive procedure with the risks of anesthesia and surgery which may be obviated by more specific non-invasive testing.

Read the detailed description

Diffuse Optical Spectroscopic Imaging a new method for quantitative characterization of the optical properties of tissues. The diagnostic tools utilize anomalies in the transmission of diffusing near infra-red light for the rapid detection of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, near infra-red absorbing drug levels, blood volume changes, and scattering properties in tissues.

Diffuse Optical Spectroscopic Imaging measurements of breast tissue optical properties probe is similar in shape to an ultrasound probe. The imaging can measurements on different areas of the breast including diseased location and normal area. Optical measurements can guided by co-registered ultrasound measurements for the purpose of determining lesion size and location. Each measurement will require about 5-60 seconds to record the data and calculate optical properties. The process will be repeated until an adequate number of measurements are performed and measurements take 30 to 90 minutes.

The researcher can determine that breast optical properties on demographic information, such as age and menopausal status as well as medical history.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Accessory; Breast Tissue, run by University of California, Irvine at 4 sites 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 1 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2022. 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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Healthy Breast (time frame: up to 4 weeks). 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 20 Oct 2022.
