  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Three groups of patients will be enrolled: Group 1 will enroll patients that have been categorized as a BIRADS 3 on the basis of screening and diagnostic conventional imaging work-up. Group II will enroll patients that have been categorized as a BIRADS 3 for surveillance imaging because they have undergone breast conservation therapy for breast cancer. Group III will enroll patients that have been categorized as a BIRADS 3 for surveillance imaging because they are currently undergoing primary systemic therapy.

About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Tomosynthesis in the BIRADS 3 Population Including Surveillance of Patients in the Treatment or Post-Treatment for Breast Cancer

There are three main objectives, centering on those patients targeted for surveillance imaging. The first objective is to compare image quality and specificity of breast tomosynthesis and conventional 2D mammography in a BIRADS 3 diagnostic population. The second objective is to compare image quality and ability to determine post-surgical and post-radiation changes from recurrence in a post-cancer subset of a BIRADS 3 population having undergone conservation therapy (lumpectomy with or without radiation. The final objective is to compare image quality and the ability to determine chemoresponsiveness in a post-cancer subset of a BIRADS 3 population, who are undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by WellSpan Health.

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 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

to see if Breast Tomosynthesis, a three-dimensional (3D) imaging study is more accurate than standard mammography (a two-dimensional (2D) study). (time frame: 5 years). 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 6 Jan 2011.
