About this study

Official title: Determination of Sensitivity of a Dual-Headed Small Field of View Gamma Camera for the Detection of Small Breast Lesions

This study is being done to test the ability of an investigational mammography camera to find small tumors in patients' breasts.

Read the detailed description

If you agree to take part in this study, you will be asked to remove your clothes from the waist up and put on a gown. A female technologist will give you an injection of Tc-99m sestamibi in a vein in your arm. This is a drug routinely used for breast imaging. About 10 minutes after your injection, you will be asked to sit in a chair for about 40 minutes. The technologist will position your breast between two small cameras. The cameras will apply a very light compression to your breast to make sure there is no movement during the picture. We will take two pictures of each breast. Each picture takes 10 minutes. You will also be asked to fill out a short questionnaire. If you are found to have additional breast lesions, your doctor and radiologist will be notified so that additional imaging or biopsies can be performed.

What participants receive

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

  • Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI)Device

    To determine the sensitivity of MBI

  • CZT semiconductor detectorsDevice

    Dual headed CZT semiconductor detectors

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the sensitivity of the dual-head system relative to single-head for detection of sub 10 mm breast lesions, and to determine the number of images that need to be acquired.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2011. 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.

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 determine the sensitivity of the dual-head system relative to single-head for detection of sub 10 mm breast lesions, and to determine the number of images that need to be acquired. (time frame: 2 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 16 Dec 2011.
