Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: 20 patients who present to the Internal Medicine Breast Cancer Clinic with breast cancer and who after discussion with the consulting surgeon and oncologist have agreed to undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy or neoadjuvant hormone therapy.

Who may be able to join

  • Women with breast cancer scheduled to undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy therapy or neoadjuvant hormone therapy and who have undergone any breast imaging procedure, and in whom a repeat imaging procedure is planned prior to definite surgery. MRI of the breast for accurate tumor size evaluation is recommended but not necessarily required for study inclusion.
  • Are able to return for a 3-5 week follow-up MBI study and for the final MBI study at completion of the neoadjuvant therapy.
  • Patient age > 18

Who cannot join

  • Unable to understand or sign a consent form
  • Pregnant or lactating
  • Physically unable to sit upright and still for 40 minutes

About this study

Official title: The Use of Molecular Breast Imaging in the Evaluation of Tumor Response to Neoadjuvant Therapy in Women With Breast Cancer - A Pilot Study

In patients with breast cancer who undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy or neoadjuvant hormone therapy molecular breast imaging (MBI) is an accurate test for assessing response rate to neoadjuvant therapy.

Read the detailed description

The investigators propose to evaluate Molecular Breast Imaging in patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer with the aims to document that 1) the change in uptake of 99mTc-sestamibi prior to initiation of neoadjuvant therapy, after 3-5 weeks of neoadjuvant therapy and at completion of neoadjuvant therapy prior to breast cancer surgery will be a reflection of the tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy.

  1. Tumor response at 3-5 weeks of neoadjuvant therapy is predictive of tumor response at completions of neoadjuvant therapy.
  2. Post-neoadjuvant tumor size as determined by MBI corresponds to size found at surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neoadjuvant Therapy and Chemotherapy, 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 10 May 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.

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.

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 10 May 2013.
