About this study

Official title: The BREASTrial: Breast Reconstruction Evaluation Using Acellular Dermal Matrix as a Sling Trial

Primary Hypothesis:

  1. Alloderm and Dermamatrix have comparable complication rates when used for staged breast reconstruction
Read more

Secondary hypotheses:

  1. The complication rates following staged breast reconstruction using Alloderm or Dermamatrix are higher if the patient requires radiation compared to those who do not require radiation.
  2. Dermal matrix incorporation is not altered in patients requiring radiation compared to those who do not require radiation.
  3. Dermal matrix incorporation is no different when comparing Alloderm and Dermamatrix

Specific aims:

  1. Evaluate the complication rates in women undergoing staged breast reconstruction with acellular dermal matrix with or without radiation
  2. Compare the complication rates between the two types of acellular dermal matrix
  3. Evaluate the histologic characteristics of the dermal matrix exposed to radiation compared to that not exposed to radiation.
  4. Compare the rates of incorporation of the dermal substance into surrounding tissues of those patients undergoing radiation to those not undergoing radiation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Implantation of Dermal Matrix substitute in people with Breast Cancer and Reconstructive Surgery, run by University of Utah 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 18 May 2017. 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 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?

Effects of radiation on acellular dermal matrix (time frame: four 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 18 May 2017.
