About this study

Official title: A Multi-site Prospective, Non Randomized Study Utilizing the Conture® Multi-Lumen Balloon (MLB) Breast Brachytherapy Applicator to Deliver Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation: Analysis of Dosimetric Success, Local Tumor Control, Cosmetic Outcome, Acute and Chronic Toxicity, and Clinical Scenarios for Optimal Use

This multiple site, prospective, non-randomized study has been designed to compile information on the efficacy of the Contura™ MLB in delivering APBI in appropriately selected patients through evaluation of dosimetric success as compared with a single central lumen balloon device and through treatment outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Data collected during this study will include baseline patient demographics, information related to the time of implant, radiation therapy details, and removal of the device as well as recurrence data, cosmetic outcomes and toxicities. The patient's follow-up data will be collected during the patient's standard follow-up visits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Conture Multi-Lumen Balloon in people with Breast Cancer, run by SenoRx, Inc. 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 10 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jun 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Dosimetric efficacy of the Contura™ MLB with the historical efficacy rate of a single central lumen balloon device. (time frame: 5 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 NCT00699101, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Jun 2013.
