About this study

Official title: Clinical Image Evaluation Study for Philips MammoDiagnost DR Full Field Digital Mammography System (FFDM)

The purpose of this investigation, using hardcopy film, is to compare the accuracy of the Philips MammoDiagnost DR (FFDM device) and screen-film (SF) mammography in detection of breast cancer among women undergoing screening or diagnostic mammography.

Per the new FDA Guidance document for FFDM, accuracy in comparison to Screen-film is no longer required.

Read the detailed description

The proposed research study is a prospective enriched reader trial in which patients who meet the study's eligibility criteria, subject to certain constraints specified in this protocol, will undergo both SF and the investigational Philips FFDM mammography. Two to five sites will participate as image acquisition centers. Images will be read by 9 mammographers reading the SF and Philips FFDM acquired images at various locations under the supervision of study managers.

Per the new FDA Guidance document for FFDM (Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Full-Field Digital Mammography System), there is no longer a requirement for screen film images for a comparison and a reader study to determine accuracy is not required. 10 images acquired under protocols 2008-002a, 2010-002a and a European site will be read in a MQSA type study. This record has been modified to support the new FDA Guidance document.

The reviewers will evaluate the cases, using soft copy and hard copy images, noting the mammographic attributes for each case and documenting the findings on a clinical image evaluation form, which is very similar to what is used for MQSA Accreditation.

The following attributes will be assessed: in order to provide an overall assessment of whether these image sets collectively are of sufficient acceptable quality for mammography:

  • Breast positioning, assessing coverage of the breast on craniocaudal(CC) and medio-lateral oblique (MLO) views, separately;
  • Exposure, assessing visualization of the adipose and fibroglandular tissues and visualization of breast tissue underlying the pectoralis muscle, separately;
  • Breast compression, assessing overlapping breast structures, uniformity of exposure of fibroglandular tissues, adequacy of penetration of thicker portions of the breast, exposure of thinner areas, and motion unsharpness;
  • Image contrast for differentiation of subtle tissue density differences;
  • Sharpness, assessing the edges of fine linear structures and tissues;
  • Borders and benign calcifications;
  • Tissue visibility at the skin line;
  • Noise, i.e., noise obscuring breast structures or suggestive of structures not actually present;
  • Artifacts due to image processing, detector failure and other factors external to the breast on hard-copy and soft-copy displays; and
  • Overall clinical image quality

What is being measured

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

  1. FFDM (Full Field Digital Mammography) Mammogram Scores

    6 mammography image sets (4 images per set) from women participating in the study were read and rated (pass/fail) by 2 MQSA (Mammorgraphy Quality Standards Act) certified mammography readers. A typical MQSA evaluation was performed on each image set and an image set was scored Pass or Fail. A total of 12 scores (6 image sets, 2 readers) were obtained.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Philips Healthcare at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 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 4 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Germany. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 May 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

FFDM (Full Field Digital Mammography) Mammogram Scores (time frame: Day 1). 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 4 Dec 2012.
