About this study

We hypothesize that radiofrequency ablation after single-insertion image guided vacuum assisted biopsy (IVEB) can be used to achieve negative margins in small unicentric breast cancers (≤1.5 cm).

Read the detailed description

Using the Mammotome Breast Biopsy System (IVEB) in conjunction with MRI to predict extent of disease, ultrasound to direct removal of the tumor, touch preparation cytology for diagnosis, and ablation of margins using radiofrequency ablation (RFA), we propose to develop a comprehensive system for same-day diagnosis and treatment of patients with small breast lesions.

What participants receive

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

  • Percutaneous Removal and Margin AblationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Mammotome Breast Biopsy System (IVEB), Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), RITA Medical Systems, Lumpectomy, Mastectomy

    Patients with a diagnosis of unicentric invasive breast cancer diagnosed by IVEB will then be assigned to the next available surgery date. On that day, the patient's axillary staging will be done, followed by ablation of the biopsy cavity using RFA. The breast surgery may include lumpectomy (which will be directed with US-guidance to assure more accurate removal of the en bloc IVEB site and the margin zone of ablation) or simple mastectomy with or without reconstruction. The tissue specimen will be sent immediately from the operating room to Pathology for routine processing.

What is being measured

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

  1. To quantify the degree of tumor-free margin achieved with image-guided vacuum assisted biopsy followed by ablation with radiofrequency ablation

    Measured: Post-surgical pathology review

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The proportion of patients with viable tumor cells beyond the margin

    Measured: Post-surgical pathology review

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Percutaneous Removal and Margin Ablation in people with Breast Cancer, run by University of Arkansas 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 14 inclusion and 10 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 25 Jul 2013. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 quantify the degree of tumor-free margin achieved with image-guided vacuum assisted biopsy followed by ablation with radiofrequency ablation (time frame: Post-surgical pathology review). 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 NCT00574301, 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 25 Jul 2013.
